KING JAMES VERSION
OF BIBLE ORDERED
FOR SCHOOL READING
Hear Petitions Being Cir
culated to Excuse
Children.

That an organized protest against
the reading of the Bible in the pubic
schools is under way is Indicated ny
the reports that the patrons of num-
Der of public schools situated IN the
Mexican districts are circulating petit
lions asking that their children be .ex-
cuSed from the daily reading OF the
Bible. The Bible in the public
school, resolution which becomes Ell
tective the first Monday IN April, II
self provides that parents or guardians

having their children listen 10 the
daily reading of passages from the
Scriptures. may have them excused
from that period.
The petitions. it is reported, Will De
presented TO the principals OF the
schools before the resolution goes into
effect. In several of the schools. the
Mexican attendance ranges from 80 10
30 per cent of the total enrolment.
There is considerable speculation as TO
the effect the circulation of the pet!-
tions will have on the attendance dur
ing the periods when passages from
the Scriptures will be read.
An order for 1000 Bibles. chenply
but substantially bound, the King
James version, and similar 10 the edl-
ton placed in hotels by the Gideons,
will be placed by the school board bus
mess manager who has called for bids.
The resolution introduced by her
bert PEARS and calling for the read
ing of the Bible as n part of the daily
opening exercises. was adopted, at 4
recent meeting OF the school board.
The resolution provides that the pas

EXPECT LIGHT VOTE
IN PRIM ARIES IN
MICHIGAN TUESDAY
No Interest in Elections as
Spirited Campaigns
Lacking.

Detroit, Mich, April Not in
several years has there been pri-
mary election in Michigan in which
interest has been as languid as in to-
days balloting to determine Michi-
gans presidential prefermcnt in the
two major parties. With no spirited
campaign to spur voters enthusiasm,
political leaders predict an extremely
light vote. except in those few cities
where local issues have Iiyened the
interest.
United States Senator Hiram W.
johnson of California, is the only can
didate who has campaigned in the
state. His two tours included adj
dresses at half dozen Lower Mich
igan cities. including Detroit. The
candidacy of President Calvin Cool
ldge, which has been in the hands of
Governor Alexander ]. Groesbeck. has
not been active. and William G..
simpson, Detroit civil engineer. the
third candidate on the Republican
ticket. has made no campaign.
Henry Ford and Senator Wood.
bridge y. Ferris. are the Democratic
candidates. Senator Ferris consented
to the use of his name at the request
of organization Democrats, but has
made no personal bid for the prefer
ment. Mr.. Ford's name was certified
to, the ballot before his endorsement
of President Coolidge aligned him
with the Republicans. and he made
no effort to withdraw il.
One Republican and two Democratic
national committeeman also are to be
elected today.
