Khan Plan to Dope
Youngsters with Bible
Fails Passage in Ohio
BY GEORGE PAPeuM.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, March 1,--EnpvtS
Of the khan to introduce compulsory
bible reading in the public schools Of
Ohio met with defeat IN the house Of
representatives of the Ohio Iagisia-
ture, now In session, when an amend
ment to the original bin was tabled,
which under the rules, tabled the or.
iginal bill as well
The khan element in the Legislature
is up in arms at this defeat OF one q
their pet measures for keeping the
children of the workers under the lu-
fiuence of religious bigotry. The b.
ble-reading bill provided for the read
ing Of at least ten verses of the bible
every day, and the memorixing OF the
ten commandments by pupils above
the fourth grade.
In the mining sections OF Eastern
Ohio, many teachers are acting as re.
cruiting agents for the Sunday
schools. insisting that their pupils At.
tend them.
With the intensihcation of the class
struggle, comes an intensification OF
the weapon OF religion az we'll as OF
all other weapons, as q means OF
keeping the workers in subsection.
They should fight these efforts all the
more because Of the especially strong
influence welded by religious super.
stition and tradition.
The khan without doubt will strain
every nerve to pass the bibie-reading
bill by some means or other. and all
workers should protest as individuals
and thru their organizations against
the passage OF any measure TO intro.
duce religious propaganda In any
form whatsoever into the public
schools.
