Bible in Iowa Schools Urged By Morals Rally
Dr. W. S. Fleming of Chicago urged that public morals require daily Bible instruction in Iowa public schools. He argued home and church alone are insufficient and called for a state mandate to include Bible teaching, citing historical use from 1636 to 1870 and current opposition from secularists. He urged legislators to amend to restore Bible presence in all Iowa schools.
