Milford May Drop
Religious Classes
School Board Will Discuss Plan
Al Meeting Tonight

The question of whether or not
to drop Milford's three-months-Old
released time" religious instruc-
ton program will be discussed bv
the Milford Board of Education AT
its meeting this evening.
The prOgram-saidt to be the only
such religious education plan in
effect in Delaware-is questioned
because of the u. S. Supreme Court
decision that public school sys-
TENS may not be used to aid re-
ligiOus groups in giving instruc-
tiOn in their beliefs.
The Milford plan differs from the
one at Champaign, Ill, success
fully challenged by Mrs. Vashti Nc
COllum in the Supreme Court case.
but the courts decision seems to
cover the Milford plan, observers
said.
Pupils Taken to Churches
Since January 5, Milford stu
dents whose parents want them to
take part in the weekday religious
instruction program, have been re-
leased from public school classes
at 2:15 p. m. each Wednesday.
These students are taken, in buses,
to churches of their choice, where
religious classes are held.
