a practicing christian he pointed out that section 229 was to have been dropped during section 229 of the the latest amendments to education act quoted by hargrave which stipulates that teachers have a duty to inculcate respect for religion and the principles of judaeo- christian morality and such other things as loyalty sobriety in dustry purity and temperance education received number of protests william laird who seconded the original motion was anxious to make sure that principals and teachers are made aware of section 229 other trustees gave their views some supporting the motion n

ecumenical hargrave expressed himself as very some harsh words for cribars earlier suggestion if the schools dont know about this they should said hargrave i will personally make it my business to see that they know about it he also said that anyone who didnt want to take part in the prayer could leave during it and suggested that trustees should be allowed to abstain from leading the prayer if
