Under Three Churches
The instruction on the Bible at the
present time is conducted under the
direction of the Methodist, Presbyter-
ian and Church of Christ churches,
The school board grants the right to
dismiss each period to go to the
respective churches for Bible class
study.
AT the opening of each school year
each student is given a card to sign
and attend the church of their
choice. All classes are held in the
churches with teachers from the
school.
However, such pupils are under the
supervision of the board of educa-
tion and all laws pertaining to the
public school, the pupils receiving
full credit for the work done in these
classes.
The grades taking this work con-
sist of the third and fourth as one
class; the fifth and sixth as one class
and the seventh and eighth as one
class. The Gary Leaflets are used.
This course covers the entire Bible
and when handled as it is handled at
Greenfield the children receive a
thorough knowledge of the entire BIZ
bic The average grade of the stu
dent body taking this course. is from
IS per cent to 80 per cent for the
year. Some fall below this and some
obtain higher grades, but taking it
all in all they have been given prin-
ciples that will make of them better
men and women for our future gen.
Grafton.
Students Interested
1t can be safely said that each stu
dent taking the Bible instruction is
taking it because of his or her own
interest, as we'll as the interest of
the parents who are more than glad
to have the Bible taught to their
children in the public school. They
realize that the Great Teacher is the
best teachers of all, but no pupil is
compelled to take the course who does
not wish to do so. The teaching
force gives its service to this work

CONGRESS TO keep
HANDS OFF "BRIBES"
Names of Two Accused Members
OF House Are Anxiously
Awaited

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March s.
Congress will keep "hands off" the
investigation of charges that two
members of the house of representa-
tives accepted brides to secure exc
cutive ciemency for prisoners, and
leave their prosecution entirely in
the hands of the department of jus
tice. This decision was reached to-
day by the house rules committee.
which had an investigation under
consideration.
Everyone is now anxiously await
ing to find out who the two members
are. One congressman says it isn't
fair for the entire house membership
to rest under a cloud or a suspicion
when only two men are charged as
being guilty. So every fellow is try
ing his best to find out who the. two
men are and it is bound to come out
in short time.
A grand jury probe will start at
once, under President Coolidge's or
ders. 1t was announced at the White
House today that in addition to the
charges that two congressman &C
cepted money improperly, the grand
jury would be asked to investi-
gate charges that certain govern
ment officials used official informa-
ton for stock market speculations,
that money was collected for obtain
ing liquor permits and that persons
not connected with the government
had possession of confidential de-
partmental files.
President Coolidge is determined
that the housec leaning going on in
Washington shall, not be half done.
Hence he Is asking for investigation
and punishment all along the lines II
