Tallahassee, April 12-Separation
Of state and church became the issue
In the discussion of Mr.. Bryan's bill
providing that it shall not be unlaw-
full to read the Bible and hold short
devotional exercises in public schools.
The innocent looking bill became a
fre-brand in the House and was fn-
ally amended by cutting out the pro-
vision for holding short devotional
exercise and makingt he reading OF
the Bible not unlawful. A discussion
developed and 1t was made an ap-
parent fact that the sentiment Of the
House is overwhelmingly against any
even remote linking together of
church and State. Shorn OF the de-
votional exrcise feature the bill
passed by vote OF 50 to 10. The
bill was introduced In the House by
Marshall OF Dade.
