Say the Statements Were False

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Articles have appeared in nearly
all the daily papers purporting to set forth
the state of affairs relating to the use of
the Bible In the public schools in Waverly
borough. The real facts of the case will
appear at the time of hearing I'm court on
Saturday morning, but we desire to state
that the statements there made are false
in nearly every particular. We do not
know the sources of information, but so
far as can be asecrtained, the reporters
who visited Waverly on Tuesday con-
ferred only with Mr. Stevenson and Mr..
Vail on the subject. There is no antagon-
ism between the teacher, Mr.. Hanyen,
and the school board of Waverly borough.
Mr.. Hanyen Is carrying out the instruc-
tions of the board as per resolutions of the
board passed by vote of four to two, au-
thorzing him to use his own discretion IN
the matter.

have read with a great deal of interest
The Tribune's articles descriptive Of the
Young Mems Christian association work.
and your appeals for subscriptions in aid
o: the Finishing and Furnishing Fund.
The articles mentioned were very forcible
and the appeals were very strong, but
they do not begin to compare with the
force of an appeal which 4 recent visit
to the building made upon me.
l am convinced that If our citizens who
cast careful glance over The Tribune
appeals while sitting at their breakfast
tables should follow it up by an evening
visit at the building and permit one of the
courteous secretaries or committeeman to
pilot them through the institution, begin
ming at the gymnasium with its fifty or
sixty vigorous young men actively cn-
gaged in increasing their store of vigOr
and coming up to the reading and social
rooms. where they find fully as many more
engaged in reading or In social converse,
and will then take Il glance at the educa-
tonal class rooms and watch for few
minutes group of similar proportions en-
gagged in earnest study. they Will according
to their ability, send you u subscription as
do herewith. Very sincerely yours
