Committee Urges Bible Instruction in Public Schools
A Frederick County committee representing church leaders and citizens urged the Board of Education to allow Bible instruction in public schools. They proposed two plans: use of school buildings after hours with trained teachers or after period instruction in church-adjacent buildings, coordinated with pastors and parents, to ensure regular study without disrupting schooling. The group stressed the Bible as essential and called for cooperation with the board within Maryland law.
