Bible Reading in the Schools

Editor NeCS and Citizen -
Believing that wrong impression was
given at the union service Sunday even
ing in regard to Bible reading in the
schools Of the town, ] wish 70 make a
statement OF the actual facts In the
First Primary room Bible stories are
told, and a child's prayer is repeated by
the children at the morning exercises In
the Second Primary room Bible stories
arc told, the Lords Prayer and the
Twenty Third Psalm repeated by the
puptls The FIRST and Second Intermedi-
ate rooms meet together for morning eX.
lrcises, where selection from the scrip
lures, especially adapted Tor public
schools, are read and Lords Prayer re,
peated In the B. Grammar room the
Bible is read and the Lords PRAYER re-
peated In the A Grammar room the
Lords Prayer is repeated. At the Acad-
emy the Bible is read and the Lords
Prayer repeated, with the assistance of
the local pastors regularly each week.
Standard religious hymns are sung in the
upper grades and High School. Out of
the twelve rural schools in session during
the winter term, the Bible was read and
the Lords prayer repeated in eleven of
them at the morning exercises. There
fore, it is seen that Bible reading is the
practice, and not the exception, in the
schools of the town.

OTTOMAN EMPIRE
SITUATION SERIOUS
lBy Gable TO The Tribune ]

Petrograd. Nov 16.-The situation
in Constantinople and other large cen
tres of the Ottoman Empire Is report
ed TO be serious. The Turks were as
sured that Warsaw had been taken
and that Russian Caucasus would be
captured in the first days OF the war
by surprise attack, all the troops
having been withdrawn to meet the
German hosts. and the natives of eau
casus were waiting TO welcome the IN
vaders and join IN the wholesale
slaughter Of Armenians.
From the outset of the war Germanlc
news factories have insisted that Rus
sian Caucasus was IN revolt. News OF
Russian victories on the Nistula have
not reached Constantlnople. Inc IN
habitants are reported 10 be preparing
to throw of the yoke OF Young Turks
and their German masters. The wound
ed on the Russian side considering
the magnitude of the operations are
comparatively small in numbers, and
thew recover rapidly. This IS due to
the facts that Russians from the outset
of the war always have been well Jed,
and secondly, to the entire absence of
alcohol. The Emperor on his journey
inst concluded must have received
roval reward for the personal interest
which ne to1k in abolishing the drink
