WANT BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
Executive Council of State Teachers
Association to Recommend Study.

Des Moines, Oct. 1S.-The educational
council of the Iowa State Teachers
Association will recommend to the con-
vention to be held here during the first
week in November. a course in bible
study for the high schools of Iowa, ac-
cording to an announcement made here
today. This study course will be incor-
porated in the report of special COM
rnittee which has been investigating
similar courses for Indiana, North Da-
kota and Colorado.
The proposed course, it was said, will
follow closely the North Dakota plan
which lent itself readily to use in In
diana. and has several years of his
tory to recommend 1t, having been used
since 1912. The course, according to
the committee, is divided into four
equal parts. two in the new testament
and two in the old testament, each part
being complete in itself. Each Of the
four provides material for about fifty
lessons so that the work of any two
parts taken together would be equive-
lent to a half years work in any high
school subject. The plan provides that
If the work is done satisfactorily the
pupil shall receive the same credit as
in any other subjects that is taken for
one school semester.
The purpose of the course is to give
the boys and girls Of Iowa high schools
an opportunity to familiarize them
selves with the literature of the bible
as a part Of their general education and
and culture. The only requirement Is
that the candidate for credit shall show
70 tho hiph school principal sufficient
evidence of satisfactory knowledge OF
the course. To obtain this the plan pro-
vides for a uniform examination on the
course turnout the state at least once
a year.
AS the adoption Of the course in any
community is depending on the sane
ton of the school board. it Is proposed
that the course of study be submitted
to each school board Tor apDroTa! and
to the state department OF education.

That was the kind of goblins that
TweedIedum and Tweedledee were.

Wake up, Tweedledee. The sun Is
