Wisdom of Solomon 3 Needed in Text Ruling in Oklahoma
Oklahoma City July 2 The secretary of the state board of education Norman Duncan says the idom of Solomon must administer the terms of the state free text book law if the repeal referendum passes and the law stays in force for another year. petitions with over 27 000 signatures are being checked to decide if a statewide vote will be held. An informal opinion says about 26 500 signatures are enough based on the votes for presidential electors. If the measure is voted upon the text book law remains until voters decide. The 10th legislature repealed the law and blocked future funding, sending surplus books back to publishers and distributing used books to districts. The materials left will be insufficient and the appropriation was reduced from a larger sum to 360 500 in a deficit.
