SCHOOL COD E
IS FORMIDABLE
DOCUMENT

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-School
superintendent, principals and ed
ucators generally from all over the
state are in a pedagogical ferment
over the new school code. The
new code is indeed formidable
document, and SO far none but the
hardest have ventured to peer
into 1t. Without any accurate
knowledge as to the extent of the
moral. law, those who have exam
ined the school code volume have
no hesitancy in the manner of
their comparison.
AS a general thing, the code ap-
pears to extend the powers of the
state superintendent, county super
intendent, and create several
school offices of state Jurisdiction.
These all have their friends and
opponents, but in addition there
are a thousand and one rules and
regulations, which none but the
initiated know or care about. To
listen to the objections of any
one of the pedagogues here is a
liberal education in itself, and the
members of the legislature are
fighting noticeably shy of any ad-
vance information. They will
take the committees report and
let it go at that.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-01-27

but most of them have enough of
an inherited reverence to appre-
ciate the sham through which they
go every morning. They frankly
complain II the preacher keeps
them standing a minute or two
beyond what they consider to be
a sufficient time for this mock de-
votion, and those ministers who
are known to pray longer than
Others always find fewer men,
bers before them, while the cloak
and committee rooms are full.
Some members are willing to
make believe for about three min
utes, but they draw the line at five
minutes of prayer.
il the minister would some day
pray with his eyes open, the tenor
of his supplications would proba'
bly, be of more personal nature

PRAYER IN LEGISLATURE
ISALMOST A MOCKERY

perhaps surreptitiously relieve
their salivary glands of an over
accumulation of nicotine.
There may be some who join in
the word and spirit of the prayer |;
there may be some who look upon
their days work as a sacred duty
on which the approval of the Most
High is necessary, but If there be
any, they are few and their seats
are far between.
The contrast between the minis
ter standing beside the speaker,
eyes closed, hands clasped, with
every feature displaying intense
and concentrated devotion and
the bored countenances in stoop-
ing semi-circles before him is
enough to destroy any belief in the
