the board Of education discontinued the
reading of the Bible in the public
schools OF Chicago. Up to 1874 it was
regularly prescr ibed duty of the
teacher to read portion of the sacred
volume to their scholars every day. BY
some this exercise was relished and ap-
proved, but to others it became in
creasingly distasteful. The opposition
to it grew and after long and stub

Swing, that committee consisting OF
members of the Protestant, Catholic,
Jewish and other denominations, com.
pile book for the use of the school
children, made up of selections from
the bible. At the beginning it was de.
cided that the version recognized in
courts by English law, when appeals to
the bible are made, should be the one
from which the selections are taken, as
the school is established pre- eminently
for the state.
For the convenience of the children,
and to better facilitate the work, the
book is graded in its arrangements.
Those selections appearing first on its
pages are adapted to the needs and in
tellectual standards of the lower grades
of the grammar school, the latter part
of the book being better suited for more
mature minds.
Quotations are also given in the book
to show that men differing widely in
religious belief, ranging from Professor
Huxley to the popes, have endorsed Just
such scheme as this that has Just been
carried out.

Washington Officials skeptical About
the Archangel News.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Reported con-
firmation from Archangel of the report
Of the return of Nansen, the seeker
after the north pole, does not really
amount to q confirmation, in the opinion
of General Greeley and Of Lieutenant
Scheutze. The latter is, with the pos
sible exception of Commodore Melville,
who is temporarily absent from Wash
ington, better posted than any other
official in Washington upon the char
acteristics of the North Siberian coast,
which he has visited on q governmental
mission, being charged with the distri.
button Of rewards to the natives who
aided the survivors of the unfortunate
Jeanette expedition. Said he:
The Places Very Remote.
"This confirmation of the Irkutsk
story from Archangel, is as if we had q
telegram from Portland. Me-, confirm
ing a story from Sandy Hook
General Greeley took a similar view
and held that it was lnconceivable that
the same story should emanate from
two places so remote from each other
as are Irkutsk and Archangel. He
knew of no way in which news of
Nansen's approach to the mouth of the
Lena delta should also reach Archangel.
