CLAIM BIBLE IS NOT
 READ IN THE SCHOOLS Everyman's Bible Class Dis cusses Resolution Asking
 Investigation

Is the Bible being read in the pub.
 lie schools of New Britain? A res.. lution which was introduced at a
 meeting of the executive committed of Everymans Bible class last eve
 ming frankly questions thls and asks for an investigation.
 | According to the resolution, which
 was submitted by a father of children attending school. certain schools do not read the Bible at the opening ex- ercises
 A short time ago Dr. Richard F. Burton. professor of literature at the University of Minnesota, in an ad- dress at the First Congregational church to Esther Stanley chapter, c. | A. R.. made the statement that the l greater number Of schools today do not open their morning sessions with Bible reading. and that in many schools the Bihla had been kicked out entirely.
 When the resolution was introduced at the meeting of the Bible class committee last evening, 1t was an- nounced that the Herald had been quietly Investigating the question for several days and in view of this, 1t was voted to leave the resolution on the table for another month. The resolution reads as follows Whereas, This class Is an undenom- national body. organized for the pur- pose of Bible study and the promotion of Bible reading, and
 Whereas. in the public schools of our city, which are undenomination- al and attended by children of every creed and faith, the majority of which believe in Bible reading, the Bible is not read, there be It.
 Resolved. that this executive com mittee of Everyman's Bible class go on record as in favor of restoring the reading of the Bible in the public schools, and that the members use every means in their power to accom- plish this end, and be 1t further
 Resolved, that a copy of this reso lution be sent to the superintendent of public schools in New Britain, and to each member of the school board, and &hat the resolution be read 10 the Bible class, next Sunday morning.
 Two of the schools mentioned at the committee meeting were the Central Junior High school and the Smith school At the Central Junior High, Principal w. c. French, when inter- viewed early this week, stated that the Bible was being read in all the rooms in that school as we'll as at the gen. eral assemblies held several times each week.
 T don't think the day will ever come when the Bible will be kicked out of the schools of New Britain added Mir. French.

 College A aasslrtford Conn

Boston, Nov. 11. An intimation
 that today's Harvard Princeton foot l ball game might be the last, made by l Lothrop Wilmington at the night be- fore gathering of Princeton men, Princeton a plea for continuance of the classic and defense of the Har- vard- Yale Princeton football agree ment. MT. Wilmington Is member of the Harvard football committee and former Crimson football cap tain.
 In his talk to the Princeton men. Mir. Wilmington criticized the agree ment. charged that it was brought about by the domination of President Hibben, and said it would not permit practice before the opening of college.
 That means" he continued. that the schedule must be cut down to five games"
 He said that the western alumni of Harvard, because of their strong sup port of the recent endowment drive, were enUtled to have a game in their section. If such game should be added to the schedule, he said. it would mean elimination of the Prince ton game in order to have something left" for the Yale contest.
 President Hibben. in his reply, said that he held six meetings with Presi- dents Lowell of Harvard and Angell of Yale before "the big three" agree ment was drawn up.
 'I'd like to take exceptions" he said. "to MT. Withington's accusation that brought ready-made agree ment up here and said to Mr. Lowell. sign on the dotted line.' I'm not big enough to do that; Princeton isn't big enough to do it to Harvard.
 After rough draft of the agree ment had been drawn--and President Angel of Yale did the actual writing we appointed committee of nine, three from each college, and finally a completed agreement was drawn up.
 Tremendous pressure Is being brought to bear upon us in authority in these universities from the facul- ties of other colleges and from the general public to eliminate football entirely We're trying to save the sport We thought t better to force center of gravity over on the aca-l demic side rather than on the football side so we all signed the agreement"
 Cambridge, Nov 11.--Dvercast skies which the sun occasionally sent a few stray beams made the prospects, uncertain for the Princeton football game in the Stadium this afternoon. A light | hreeze out of the southwest seemed | to have been saved over from early |
