Mr. Reynolds Of Cambridge Thought
If the state of Vermont could coun-
tenance the open saloon six days

stand tho reading of the Bible ten
minutes in each school DAY.
Mr.. Black Of Burlington thought all
would agree in what had been said In
praise of the Bible. lie thought every
child should be familiar with the Bi-
BILE hut he believed compulsory read
| ing In tho schools was the wrong
method. He believed tho desired re-
suit could be accomplished in another
manner He thought the passage OF
such bill was unnecessary. that
there was no popular demand for such
! legislation, that such demand as therc
was had been created. He feared tn"
measure would arouse slumhering 2"
sentiments and that tho had rosu'..
would outweigh the good results
, Mr.. Graham of Rockingham believe.
| that the amendments adopted which
he proposed, made the bill a fair one.
| He thought il it could not be attacked
as matter of principle. it could not
! be attacked as matter of expediency.
| Mr. Hapgood OF Peru believed that
| the province of the Legislature and
he opposed it, The demand of MIR.
/ liutchns of Stannard for tho yeas and
| nays was sustained. and the vote re-
suited, yeas. 9e; nays. lO4. and the
