Snayely. city superintendent OF
schols had instructed one Of The
teachers Of the local schools not 10
read the Bible In the school. Pr0fes-
sor Snayely said, last night. wh.n \
asked concerning "a statement made
by me before the teachers OF the /
school has been misunderstood ! 1
positively did not say any such thing !
as reported and here is copy OF the /
statement as made:
I'm order that there may be no mis- |

instruction in the schools. the views 7
expressed by me are hereby summar- /
ized and made available 10 all or YOU. /
Under our government, religious lib /
criy is dscrced; and our schools are /
agents of The government. There |
fore. no direct religious instruction
should hc given In The schools, and
nom has been given here so FAR as ]
know Al the same time. law and
custom demand that the Bible be read
i'm the schools. It's literary value,
apart from 10, purely spiritual value,
glon would make IT'S use desirable.
