PASS TESTS ON BIBLE
DAYTON, 0., Oct. I.—All can
didates for admission to the bar;
should be compelled to pass exami
nations on the Bible and the works of
Shakespeare, in the opinion of Dan
iel W. Iddings, former president of
the Ohio Bar Association. Mr. Id
dings has urged that all bar organiza
tions insist upon passage of such ex
aminations as prerequisite to the tak
ing of the bar examination proper
and recommends also that candidates
be quizzed on Blackstone’s Com
mentaries.
“The source of all law really is
in the Bible while Shakespeare point
edly brings out the foibles of law,”
declares Mr. Iddings. Blackstone’s
Commentaries, he says, should be |
read by every lawyer at some timei
during his career, for “it must ever,
remain the greatest exposition of j
what the Anglo-Saxon law really is.” i
“Such examination would compel;
the reading and study of these great I
literary masterpieces,” Mr. Iddings ;
continues, “and certainly no man can
read and understand the Bible with
out being benefited morally, and the
same is true, although to a lesser de
gree, of Shakespeare. The biggest
duty of Bar organizations is insist
ing upon early and universal action
on this important subject.”
