Efficacy OF the BibIc.
Several prominent residents, includ-
ing the clergymen of the district, made
remarks on the efficacy of the bible in
the public schools. Secretary Steven
son arose to explain his position. He
said he had always respected Professor
Hanyon as a man and a Christian
gentleman, and believed him to be a
discreet and very efficiency teacher;
that his only difference with him was a
matter of opinion regarding the reading
of the bible in school, and that his only
difference with the majority of the
school board was a simple point of law;
and that, in asking the court to decide
that point, he was obliged to attack
the course taken by Professor Hanyon.
A vote. consisting only of taxpayers
and voters, was then taken on the reso-
luton offered. resulting unanimously
in its favor, fifty-one voting for, and
none against it. Then the audience
gave unanimous rising vote in favor

land, and his family was desperately
poor as he expresses it. THE ends would
not meet, no matter how hard we pulled
upon them" he says.
From boyhood Beardsley had a taste for
drawing, but was more ambitious to make
a name for himself in literature. At the
age of 8 he went into an architects Office
and devoted his salary of five shillings a
week to the support of the family. The
gargoyles and fantastic forms met with in
architecture fascinated him, but the rou
tine work before him was not at all to his
taste. The architect compelled him to earn
his salary, however, and Beardsley left his
office careful, correct and conscientious
craftsman.
He soon received an advance in wages Of
shillings, which he spent for art training,
and one evening he made an eccentric
black and white sketch with few strokes
of his pen. 1t pleased him very much and
the idea came to him that pictures of the
kind would create sensation if properly
placed before the public. He showed sew
eral drawings to Oscar Wilde, who was so
we'll pleased with them that he commits
stoned Beardsley to illustrate his play Sa-
lone" This brought Beardsley considera
BILE notoriety, which became OF worldwide
PROPORTIONS when he and a few other &c
centric young men issued the famous Vel
low Book, illustrated by Beardsley, and
sent copies of it TO all the great newspapers
on both sides Of the Atlantic. About every
paper gave the book notice Of some kind
and many OF them reproduced Beardsley 5
pictures. The result was that orders for
pictures came in every mail and he now
has more work than he can do. Covers for
books, theatrical posters and illustrations
for novels are turned out by the industri-
GUS young artist In great numbers, and the
Beardsley family no longer is desperately
poor"
Beardsiey is a very clever talker and has
wide knowledge of literature. He speaks
several languages, is well versed in art and
eontemplates lecturing in America. He
has also written a number Of novels-sev-
eral of which have been consigned TO the
fames-but he still has hope of doing some
thing notable in literature as well as art.
