SAYS BIBLE IS OBSOLETE
Students in Schools Amazingly Deficient in
knowledge of Old Testament
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]


Worcester. Mass, Jan 21.-Befors the Weeks In-
stitute, IN Clinton, Saturay night President G.
Stanley Hall Of Clark University said the Bible
was becoming obsolete. He gave out the following
statement:
There have been within the last few years q.
number Of questions printed and sent broadcast to
high schools and Sunday schools to test the knowl
edge OF the Bible of high school and Sunday school
students. All the questions have shown the stu
dents 70 be amazingly defective in their knowledge
of the Bible. especially the Old Testament The
reason has been discussed great deal. and seems.
TO be that the Sunday school and home influence Is
diminishing.
The Bible is less read in the homo than II was q
few years ago. and the number Of children who,
have a fair knowledge of it Is growing less and
less. This shows the Bible is becoming obsolete.
Professors of literature, in colleges have
complained that students who have Tnatriculated
show an amazing lack Of knowledge OF the Bible.
The Bible is becoming obsolete, and this fact has
been exploited many times in the last ten years
In my opinion, knowledge OF the Bible should be-
made a requirement in English in all coileses-
II is requirement IN some colleges. When the
Bible was translated English was vfrfIs ana vixor-
GUS; II was short and terse- To my mind this
Bible a standard Of English Is good as IL NOT
better than those now commonly accepted.

FEAR CASES DISMISSAL.
Mr. Hapgoods Counsel Annious to
Put I'm Defence.

The defence in the trial Of Norman Hapgood. Edi-
tor Of Golfers Weekly who was indicted on
charge OF criminal libel at the instance OF Justice
Deuel. Of the Court of Special Sessions, is confident
that IL will be able TO uphold the contention that
the statements which contributed the alleged
libel were justified Indeed. sure are they
that they have made strong case that the
only thing they fear is that District Attor-
ney Jerome may move for dismissal OF the
CASE Il he should do SO. OF course the counsel
for Mr.. Hapsood could not object. but at the sans
time they are anxious to put in their defence and
get acquittaI from the jury. The defence has
more than q dozen witnesses. several Of them for
employees Of Town Topics" and some Of them
now connected with the publication, through whom
they wish 10 set before the public some Of the
methods Of that publication as conducted by Colo
mel Mann They would much prefer that these
witnesses should be called by the prosecution In
that James w Osborne, Of counsel for the de-
fence, would be able in cross-exam1nation to sub
tect them little different line OF questions than
II he called them as his witnesses It seems
evident, however that District Attorney Jerome
viii not call them for prosecution. and. indeed, IL is
believed that Colonel Mann. whose cross exaIntna-
ton by Mr.. Osborne will end in about ten minutes
after the opening OF court this morning. Will be the
last witness for Justice Deusls side.
