LESSONS TO REMEMBER
Familiarity With the Bible at
the Present Day.

Il1C I CSCllI lay
A very instructive and interesting
paper under the above heading was
read at the State Teachers Associa-
ton ia this city, by Miss l.. e.
Appleton of Cheney.
To get an idea of the knowledge
of students in our state schools,
this lady prepared set of ten
questions upon the Bible and sent
them to five state schools, viz the
three Normal Schools, the Agricul-
tural college and the State Univer-
sity.
From three of these schools she
received 81 papers
The questions were given to all
at once and answers were written
on the spot. Out of 4438 answers
which might have been given, 1901
or something more than one third
we're correct. Twenty seven pupils
failed to give one correct answer.
Thirty answered only one question,
and fourteen answered only two.
Only three persons out of 81
answered every question correctly
and eight answered all but two.
The first question was, What is
the Pentateuch?" Seventy five an
swered correctly. Here are some
Of the answers:-
ut is the last four books OF the
Bible. 1t is the fifth book of the
Bible. 1t is the Old Testament.
1t is the five Gospels. 1t is the
books of the Bible that are left out.
1t is the Feast of the Passover. 1t
is the day Christ arose from the
dead. 1t is the ten diciples of
Christ. 1t is the Greed of Maham-
med"
The second question was, "name
three Of the Patriarchs of the Old
Testament" Sixty-six answered
correctly. The list of answers in
cludes, Moses, Daniel, Solomon,
Joshua, Samuel, Elijah, Joseph, St
John, Paul, Mark, Luke, Pontius
PLATE Nicademus, Mebuchaduezzar
and several others.
The third question was, "name
one of the judges of the Old Testa-
ment. Fifty-two answered correct
ly. In the list of answers are,
David, Mark, Pharaoh, Solomon,
Abraham, Saul, Absalom, Peter,
PLATE, Job, Herod, Christ, Isaiah,
and Exodus.
The fourth question called for
names Of two Kings of Israel.
Among those named were, Moses,
Abraham, Judah, Joseph, Jacob,
Aaron, Plate, Isaac, Belshazzer,
Benjamin, Ahayer and King Philip.
The fifth question was. name
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1901-01-11


This received no correct answers.
Among those named were, Mark,
Luke, Ishmael, Shem, Ham and
Jdpeth. Pontius, PLATE, Esau, Eliza
Isaac, Jacob, Solomon, and John
the Baptist.
The sixth question called for one
of the Beatlitudes, and the same
knowledge displays itself. Thou
shalt not steal. Thou sha 1t not kill.
Honor thy father and mother. Ruth
is beatlitude, Look not upon the
wine when it is red. A beatlitude
is belief that the Messiah would
come"
The seventh question called for a
verse from the Bible and tell from
what book taken and this one re-
ceived 1873 correct answers, the
largest number of all the questions.
"Who was the despised Gallile-
an" received 176 correct answers.
Some said, Jacob, Gideon, Titus
Herod, Saul, John the Baptist,
God and Judas Isacariot.
Some Of the Biblical illusions
used by Tennyson in his works
were to be explained.
CD "Bricks without straw" was
explained by 50 persons, but many
were at sea
1t means nothing to hold you to-
gether. 1t means a solid founda-
ton. 1t means life without work,
1t means they have no foundation.
1t means the pure without any
mixture of the impure

lead me all my journey through y
was said to mean, "The north STAR"
"The star of Bethlehem" "The
cloud on which Jesus assembled to
Heaven" cit preceded Lot and
his family out of Sodom and Com
orrah."
90 "Like Jacobs Ladder up to
Heaven" was correctly answered by
131 persons. 1t was construed to
mean "Christ's ascension or Elijah
carried in chariot" "In order to
get up you take step at time"
cit was the ladder Jacob built to
Mt. Sinai"
(4) ga heart as rough as Esau's
hands" was explained ty 67 per-
sons. But some said, cit refers to
Isaiah's hands for they were very
coarse and beastly." cit refers to
Esau's crime of killing his brother
Abel" "Esau put wool on his
hands to make out he was his
brother" and SO on.
(5) GAS Mamma on my wilder
ness" was explained by "a persons.
Both Old and New Testaments and
all epochs of Jewish History were
drawn upon to furnish answers to

UPSET BY HIGH COURT
RENDERS A TRIO OF IMPOR-
TANT DECISIONS
CHICAGO WILL LOSE 100000
In Second Opinion Civil Service
Examinations for Inspectors Get
Black Eye--Horseshoers' Lii
cense Act Illegal.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. 1S.In a de-
cision handed down by the supreme court
this morning in the case OF John Nc
<ecnney and John McKechnay Jr., sur
viving members of the firm of Weir, Nc
kechney & Co, the city of Chicago is out
about $7OO,C0O. The decision today aftirms
the decision of the appellate court.
Suit was filed in Cook county against
the city for work done on the North
western land tunnel, which is used for
the purpose of conducting water to the
northwestern part of Chicago. The con-
tract was let on Aug. /, 1895, and was
executed in October of the same year.
a dispute arose over part of the contract
and suit followed. Judgment in favor of
Weir, McKechGey & Co. for $555590 was
secured.
BY a decision of the supreme court the
civil service examinations for Chicago
police inspectors was declared TO have
been held Illegally, thus sustaining Judge
Tuley's opinion that they must be promo
tive. Under it Inspectors Heidelmeier,
Harnett and Kales and Assistant Chief
Ptacek lose all claim to their positions
as regards the civil service certitication.
AS a result of the decision the police de-
partment probably will be reorganized in
so far as the commanding officers are
concerned.
The ''horseshoers act passed by the
illinois general assembly of 1897, was de-
cIared unconstitutional in an opinion on
the case OF Besset against the people.
The act provides that all horseshoers
shall, after working four years at the
trade, be examined and pay license to
follow the trade. Besset is q resident
of Aurora, and was fined $25 and costs for
violation of the act. He appealed his
case to the supreme court to test the
validity of the act.

make a strong presidential candidate III
1904, and the Probabilities favor a boom
for him in the East. with a strong T3l-
lowing both in the South and the West.
Mr.. Croker did not express tais op,n-
ion as personal preference, but went on
to give reasons why sSchley would be an
ideal candidate. He said there is a gen
eral belief that the. admiral is being per-
secuted by clique in the navy depart
ment and that the sympathy OF the
American peoples always with such a
man when the persecution is the result
of jealousy and is aimedsat merit. He
