A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court by Joseph Lewis, president of the Freethinkers of America, requesting that the Board of Education be restrained from allowing the reading of the Bible and the singing of hymns in public schools. Arthur Garfield Hays, Joseph Wheless and Stephen B. Vreeland are representing Mr. Lewis, and Clarence Darrow has also been retained as counsel.
