Excerpt from Bible in Schools Plans of Many Lands: Documents Gathered and Compiled for Council of Church Boards of Education, 1914 "The day will come when the Bible will be read in the public schools just as any other book. There is no good reason why the Bible should not have its rightful place in our school curriculum." The Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, Ph. D., Superintendent of the International Reform Bureau, spoke on the Australian Plan of Bible reading in schools, limited to selections previously Agreed upon, and presented a modification of this plan in chapel readings for each, week on one topic, and all from the Old Testament, but bearing on the New Testament international lesson used in the majority of Sunday schools. He expressed hope that as the Catholics and Jews were both issuing a new English translation of their Bibles, the printing of these selections in parallel columns from these two new translations, and the American standard revised, might create fresh interest in Bible studies among high school pupils and college students, and might help to put the unifying of these three groups of people in some plan of Bible reading. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved. That a special committee be appointed on the reading and study of the Bible in schools and colleges for the purpose of surveying the entire field of the relation of Bible instruction to*public education, with view to the presenting of a constructive report to this Council on available compilations of scripture for school readings and also on voluntary Bible courses such as those of the student departments of the Christian Associations. Resolved Further, That the Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts. Ph. D.. be requested to co-operate in this work. The President appointed the following committee: - Drs. J. W. Cochran, F. G. Gotwald, Thomas Nicholson, William E. Gardner, and Elias Thompson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
