Of citizens organizations and to those
who had petitions to place their matters
before the board. DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts
superintendent Of the International Re
form Bureau. petitioned the board for
permission to place upon the wall of
each' schoolroom a chart showing tho
Holy Commandments, as they appear In
the King James version of the Bible
Exodus, 20. He said this version has the
Endorsement Of twenty-sIx different re-
hgtous sects and denominations, and has
been in use in mixed schools for more
than twenty-five years. The Command
ments are not arranged according to
numbers, but according to context.
DR.. Crafts made his plea, he said. in
the interests Of public welfare. He
showed statistics to the effect that twen-
ty million children in the United States
do not attend church or Sunday school
and have no opportunity for religious
training. Fifteen million, he stated, be-
tween the ages OF and 20. have never
been TO Sunday school at all. He said
That the Commandments are placed on
the walls Of Canadian schools.
In addition to the movement to placs
the charts on the schoolroorn walls Or
Crafts intends putting in the hands of
every teacher and each school principal
the book Of selections from the Scrip
lures, made by the Union Bible Commit
tee. Fifteen thousand dollars has been
raised to put the books In the schools,
Already they are used in many States.
having the Endorsement Of all denomina-
uons OF Christians, and of Jews as we'll.
My books said DR.. Crafts. have
selected passages for reading on hol-
days stormy days, sunshiny days and
even Tor football season.. will place
them IN the hands OF the teachers in
dependent Of any action the board might
take Then they can use them at their
discretion" DR.. Crafts says that It Is
the policy Of his association to place
the books in all schools where reading
OF the scriptures is compulsory. He
read letter from Cardinal Gibbons in
dorsing his plan.
Secretary Harry o. Elne, of the board
read letter giving a plan for the con-
servauon Of paper. The proposal is to
have the city divided into six districts,
In each Of which the schools WILL not
only save their own waste paper but
also provide receptacles for such paper
as the children can collect in their
neighborhOods.
This supply will then be sold to
Lewis Hopfenmaier, contractor for the
collection of waste paper, at the rate
OF AZ IL cents per hundred pounds. This
II Is believed, will help solve the paper
problem. The board accepted the pro
posal and will act upon it. The money
obtained through the sale of paper will
be used for the school Fairgrounds
