LETTERS TO THE PRESS from Christian Science Committees on Publication

Northern California Democrat, Woodland

In a recent issue of your paper, a report was given of remarks made by an assemblyman to the Yolo County teachers' association regarding Assembly Bill 687.

This bill would provide in effect that pupils may be excused from instruction in such subjects as anatomy, physiology, and the symptoms, cause, and cure of disease, when such instruction is in conflict with the religion of the pupils' parents. As Christian Science is "the particular denomination" to which the assemblyman referred as sponsoring this bill, I should appreciate your giving space for this letter in order that points raised may be clarified.
