in BIBLE IS
DUTY OF HOME
Religious instruction Not Sue
cessful in Public Schools,
Governor Says
RAPS BIBLE CRITICS
Declares Against Textbooks
In Schools Which ScOff
At Religion
RAPS BIBLE CRITICS

St. Paul. Mimi, June 12.- Relig-
ious instruction cannot be satisfac-
torily carried on in the public
schools, but ought to be made u part
Of the life in every family, Govern
or X. A. Nestos said last night to
members of the missionary society
Of the Lutheran church in annual
convention here.
The Governor declared that it was
conceded that there ought to be re-
lIglous instruction for the young.
Where denominations are So
many, it is practically out of the
question to have religious instruc-
ton as part of the public school
curriculum, he said in answer to
the question as to how best may it
be impaired "lt would be unwise
and unsatisfactory to attempt to do
so," he continued. even Bible
reading in the public schools
which in itself would be of slight
value unless sympathetically ex-
planned to the pupils-raised the
question as to the version to be
used and the teachers attitude and
selection of passages. If religious
teaching with such safeguards as
would make it unobjectionable to all
denominations were to be tried, it
would, in my opinion, prove of lit
tie or no value. The very safe
guards employed would tend to de-
vitalize the instruction and destroy
its effectiveness.
Should BE In Home
"This religious training should be
taken care of in the family through
the 'denominational channels in order
to give us the kind and amount of
religious instruction required to be
Of any value i'm molding the charac-
ter and ennobling the life of our cit.
izenship.
"The main part of this religious
training should be given to the chill
dren between the ages Of five and
eighteen" the Governor continued.
"Altogether too frequently our peo-
pie act on the assumption that just
as soon as the boy or girl has been
confirmed that there is no further
need of religious instruction and of
continuing them lin the nurture and
admonition of the Lord during this
impressionable age"
The Governor expressed belief
that provision by law should be
made for the use of about three
hours per week of the time in the
public schols "for such supplement-
al religious training as could be
arranged for through the various
denominations and groups of denom-
nations. and wherever possible this
should be Increased by provision for
Saturday school Of religious train
ing"
Raps Textbook Selections
The Governor took rap at some
textbooks which he declared sought
to ridicule teachings of the Bible.
"Great care is exercised in select.
ing text books which. from psyche
logical and pedagogical standpoint
are adapted to the age and progress
of the students. but no such care is
being exercised to see that in these
textbooks the Christian religion
which is not permitted to be taught

Put at 643,OO0 Acres in
Durum and 144,OOO in
Other Spring Varieties
OATS ACREAGE is UP
Increase of 5 Per Cent Seen
Barley Increase Also Es-
timated High

A reduction of $4,000 acres in
durum whcats and of 144,OUU acres in
other spring varieties including mar
quis, is indicated by the June crop
report of the u. S. Bureau of Agri.
cultural Economics, which estimates
the durum whest area for North
Dakota this year at 3,O54,0O0 acres
and other varieties at 4,S99,0OO acres
the total spring wheat acreage being
placed at 7,953.OOO acres or 8 per cent
less than the 1922 final estimate of
8,740,O00 acres. The report was is
sued today from the Bureau office
in Grand Forks.
Oats acreage increased 5 per cent
to 2,5O7,OOO acres and barley shows
a 35 per cent increase to 1851 900
acres according to the report, which
forecasts for the state on the basis
of June 1 condition as follows:
Spring wheat 82,1O7,0OO bushels COM
pared with 123,234,O00 bushels final
out-turn for 1922; oats, 59,566.OOO
bushels compared with 7s,804.OO0
for 1922 and barley. 25,722.OO0 COM
pared with 25,7O4,0O0 bushels in
1922. The interpreted yields per
acre for these crons based on June
condition according to the report
are Ss follows: Wheat. condition 68
per cent and yield per acre 1913; oats
80 per cent with yield of 23.6; bar
ley 80 per cent with yield of 1913.
While final yields may be larger or
smaller according as conditions de-
veloping during the remainder of
the season prove more or less fav-
orable to the crop than the average,
the past ten years the report points
out that final yields in the case of
of wheat were times below June
forecasts and 3 times above; for
oats times below and 2 times above
and for barley 6 times below and 4
times above.
The June 1 prospect for winter
rye shows further deterioration,
according to the report which gives
the crop a condition on the first OF
the month of 78 per cent of normal
indicating production of 13,764,O00
bushels compared with 14,543,OO0
bushels on May last and the 1922
final estimate of 24,506,00O bushels
The report also forecasts a total OF
3.S14,O00 tons Of hay this year COM
pared with 3,96a,OOO tons estimated
for 1922. Increases in, clover and al
falfa are indicated.

This threatens TO bring up again the
problem of gold initiation which was
so keenly debated six months ago. IL
was feared then that the enormous I'M
used supply of gold in the reserve
bank would be a temptation TO specn.
lation and oyer-expansion. But anxiety
was relieved when the federal reserve
board issued its warning and made it
very plain that if trade and security
markets kept on as they were then
going, it would lead to drastic mea
sures in the shape Of increases in the
official discount rates. The ANNOUNCE.
ment of this policy should do away
with any revival of uneasiness over
the political danger involved in thi.
country having too much gold.

Swing Sharply Upward During Week. Bond Outlook Favorable

point is the competition between the
radio and the cable companies.
More important still is the comReti-
ton between the trolley car and the
gasoline driven private automobile and
jitney bus. This is wei illustrated
by the strike of the employees of the
Public Service Corporation of New
Jersey now in progress nearly two
weeks. During all this time the COM
pany has made no effort to run its
cars and more remarkable yet, the
public seems to have suffered a min
imum of inconvenience. For the
buses have filled the gap, partially
at least. Undoubtedly some sort Of
an agreement will be reached so that
trolley service win /. be resumed.
Meanwhile, it is matter upon
which holders of bonds secured upon
trolley roads will do we'll to ponder.
The railroads have suffered from auto
mobile competition as far as passenger
service is concerned and in some cases
many local trains have been discon-
tinued. In the moving of long dis
lance freight they will have the monop-
oily. With the electric street railroads
the situation is more serious than
with the steam railroads.
