WASHINGTON, July 4, 1854.

COPY af a9hs san nat az in tollsxs
| TO inform the B-ard of Trustees of the Publ,
Schools that copy Of the Holy Bible has beer
provided by this Society for each Of the Teach
ers of the Public Schools Of this city, properly
labelled, DC, and asking that the same NAV
! be accepted, placed, and read in the several
schools j.!
These copies of the Bible were thus " pro-
vided and labelled with the official designa
ton Of each school on the motion seyera
months since, Of a gentleman who, in intro
| ducng and advocating it, took occasion t.
| state the beneficial effects he had found dur
| ing m experience Of some seventeen years
| in conducting large classical school in thi
| city, to flow from reading portion of the Sd
| ing exercises Of each day.
Also, that as a Trustee Of the Public Schools
| his advice to the Teachers, in the absence O.
any statute law on the subject, had been tt
pursue a similar course which he was happ,
| TO say was uniform throughout the district o.
| which he had immediate supervision. lie hal
also found that the same course had been pur.
sued to some extent under the old orpaniza
| ton Of the Public Schools, and that, in add
ton to its intrinsic excellence, it had received
| the sanction Of names long distinguished for
| learning and piety in this community
In consequence of an apparent misappre
hension on the part Of portion Of our fellow
citizens, 1 deem it proper to state that the
present is the FIRST time this subject has been
brought officially or otherwise, to the notice OF
| the Board Of Trustees by the Bible Society
| and that therefore all representations of hos
! tile word or act on the part Of your body OF
any municipal officer are without foundation
| in fact
1t may not be inappropriate to the occasion
| to state that the Bibles thus presented are pre-
else duplicates of that of which the American
Congf ess, on the llth Of September, I777, or
dered the purchase and importation of 20 900
copies, and OF that, preserved as precious
relic at Mount Vernon, marked with his own
proper autograph, from which the Father of
his Country imbibed those noble principles
of civil and religious liberty which he 80 glo-
riously illustrated in his life, and of which VIC
this day commemorate the declaration and es-
tablishment.
These Bibles are now in the Depository of
the Society at the store Of Messrs. Gray &
Ballantyne, 9TH street, subject to the order of
the Board of Trustees
In behalf Of the Bible Society.
