Its Order.

laymen, who appeared before meeting
of the board of education to express
their views about Christmas exercises
in the public schools were headed of
before they got much further than "Mr.

offered by Commissioner Robert Har-
rison, which repealed the principal part
Of the action taken by the board of
education on Feb. 13. The resolution
said the board had forbidden the sing
ing of hymns or songs of sectarian
character, or the reading of any dis
tinctively religious treatise or book,
other than the Bible, and ordered all
such treatises. and books stricken from
the text book list.
The resolution then went on:
"And, whereas, since the adoption OF
said report, there has been agitation to
the effect that the intention Of this
board was that Christmas exercises be
forbidden in public schools, and that
the board of education had ordered the
songs and song books now in use in the
schools to be altered; and,
Whereas, 1t is desirable to place this
board on record in order to correct any
misapprehension as to it's object and
intention in passing said resolution;
1t is
Resolved, That this board did not
intend, by the passage of said resolu-
tions, to abolish Christmas exercises as
heretofore conducted in the public
schools, does not intend that the same
shall be prohibited, and further, this
board has not directed any changes in
any books or any songs; and further
Resolved That this board did not
intend to formulate any particular or
specific rules for the guidance Of prin-
cipals in the conduct of Christmas ex-
ercises, but necessarily left much to
their good judgment"
This was put to vote without dis
cussion and carried unanimously.
