Latest Decision Cited.
The issue of church-state Sep

concerning religion in the public

high courts. One of the latest
decisions to be handed down was
in New Jersey. where the Supreme
Court upheld a State law requir-
ing the daily reading of the Bible
and permitting the recitation of
the Lords Prayer in public
schools.
The court declared that, while
it is necessary that there be a sep
