Directors

Ohio, Directors, Bible

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Ohio, Directors, Bible (1): The constitution of the State of Ohio does not enjoin nor require religious instruction or the reading of religious books in the public schools. The board of directors of a district has charge of the instruction and books to be used therein, and their official discretion will not be interfered with. Therefore, they were authorized to have the Bible read at the opening of the school.623
