When informed this morning OF
the action of the board of educa-
ton last night, Mr.. Regan said that
he had not considered just what
move he would make in the mat
ter of the reading of the Scrip
lures in the opening exercises
at the high school, but from
the drift of his conversation one
would be led to believe that he
would take measures to have the
law on this matter enforced. He
said that he did not think it was
fair to the children of the Luther.
an, Catholic or Jewish faith to
force them to listen to the cere.
monies of the Evangelical faith.
This he said caused them to disre,
spect this religion and in time they
would have the same feeling for
their own faith. If all the children
could not be taught their own faith
separately Mr. Regan said he would
heartily indorse the practice.
1t is proposed by the school au-
thorities to have the Bible reading
resumed with the opening of the
high school Monday morning.
A well-known attorney stated to-
day that there were two ways in
which a person could proceed to
test the law in the premises. One
was by Injunction proceedings and
and another was by moving to
have discharged the teacher who
reads the Bible in the school.
