Nome School Fall Registration And Schedules

Pre- Registration: Will be held in the Multi Purpose Room Aug. 23 and 24, from 9 to 12 and to 4 each day. Parents will please register all children, including high school students, who are en- tering the school in September during the two-day period.
 First Grade Readiness Tests: All incoming First Grade pupils will be given Metropolitan Readiness Tests for placement purposes dur ing the registration period. Pre- registration can be taken care of at the same time. All parents are urged to have their children there for the tests.
 Fall Daily Schedule: School will open on Tuesday, Sept. 5. Grades 1 through will be on shift, one from a. m. to 12:30 p. m., and the others from 1 D. m. to 5:30 D. m. The Junior and Senior High School will not be on shift in the fall. The high school hours will be from a. m. to 12, and 1 to 3 D. m.
 Due to the many requests al ready received and those anti cipated later, it has become ob- vious that the school will be un- able to grant special parental re- quests for particular shift, morning or afternoon. The compli- cations are so great that it would be impossible to work out a pro- gram to everyone's satisfaction.
 The Nugget will publish the names of the children on shift on Friday, Sept. lst indicating the particular shift a child will attend. It will help all concerned if the children could be sent to school according to the proper schedule. It is also anticipated that the city fire alarm will be sounded at 7:30 a. m. each school day to help the younger children get to school on time.
 It is also urged that the par ents of children who might still be staying at summer camps make arrangements to register the chil- dren either on the 23rd or 24th of August, and to have them at school on opening day. It will be of great benefit to the children concerned.
 Please remember! School will open Sept. 5.

Archaic Versus
U. 5. Contemporary

Of course XIV is not always
easy to understand. It is
archaic now; it was archaic
when it appeared in 1911. But
1t has become to such an
extent the shaper of contem-
porary style, that its archaisms
are only theoretical, it no
longer sounds archaic in the
cultivated ear. Furthermore
how fatuous it is to think that
one can extract the meaning
of the Bible from the coat Of
many colors of its language,
and by presenting it in the
prose of journalism make it
available to anybody with five
minutes to spare to it! The
meaning and the language are
inseparable, and the Bible is a
difficult book. But if nobody
has ever been able to pluck
out the heart of its mystery,
few have thought the effort to
do so not worthwhile. Lei

and puts the Bible in the

More than a million copies

The need for a new au-
thorized translation was first
pointed to in the days before
World War II by various
churchmen in England. A
Joint Committee of church.
men was formed in 1947 to
start work on it. The group
met for the first time on
December 18, 1913. The
panel met, in all, 81 times
for an average Of three days
each time. The last meeting
was on December 18. 1858.
Each member Of the panel
was invited to prepare a
draft translation of a book
or group of books, and the
draft was circulated in type
script among the members.
1t was discussed verse by
verse and sentence by SEN
tence until a wording was
agreed upon.

as it is by so many needless
churches. will be no less q

is not sacrosanct and never
should become so, but it Is
good, and it is a heritage we
should not deny our children
who in later years. when they
have experience and individual
opinion, can choose for them
selves. 81.
We are today in a period Of
extraordinarily fruitful Biblical
scholarship. TIL usa IDS of
sources of the Bible are known
now which were not available
to scholars and translators 80
years ago. And yet E. v. Rieu,
one of the leading Biblical
authorities of today. says that
while there are mistakes In
XIV, they amount in all to
very little" Woul1 it not be
wiser for the churches who are
attempting to supplant XIV
in pew, pulpit and home with
one or another translation de-
signed to appeal to the most
casual and unqrlestioning
reader or listener, to sponsor
instead a new XIV supplied
with footnoteS on the hard
words? Then. at least the
churches could take pride in
following divine precept-

The Greet Passages
How They Fare

Let us see how fare several
of the great passages of XIV.
And why take ye thought
for raiment? Consider the ILL
les of the field, how they grow;
they toll not, neither do they
spin; and yet I say unto you,
that even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one
of these. Wherefore, If God so
clothed the grass Of the field,
which today is, and tomorrow
is cast into the oven, shall he
not much more clothe, you, o
ye of little faith? Take
therefore no thought for the
morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things OF
itself. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof. Matt. 6,
% #. XIV.
Here is the NEB version:
And why be anxious about
clothes? Consider how the IL
lies grow in the fields: they do
not work, they do not spin,
and yet I tell you, even Sol
omon in all his splendour was
not attired like one of these.
But If that is how God clothes
the grass in the fields, which
is there today and tomorrow
is thrown on the stove, will he
not all the more clothe you?
How little faith you have! d.
So do not be anxious about
tomorrow; tomorrow will look
after itself. Each day has
troubles enough of its own"
How. mean, how querulous
this is! Anxious" isn't the
word; If you want to be COL
loquial, say Forget about to-
morrow" And notice how the
sympathetic understanding of
20 ye of little faith" is COM
pletely dissipated in the irri-
tated How little faith you
have" And then the final line:
Each day has troubles enough
Of its own"
Compare these two passages

from XIV:

New Translation
From the OriqinuI

The New English Bible, OF
which only the New Testament is
published at this time, will even-
tually include the Old Testa-
ment and the Apocrypha of the
Old Testament. It is not stated
whether it will include the
New Testament Apocrypha. It's
unique feature among author
lied versions since 1911 is that
1t is not q revision of XIV
but a completely new transla-
tion by a group Of distin-
guished scholars, working from
early or original sources. Fol-
lowing contemporary usage. it
does not break the text up into
the traditional chapters and
verses - a confusing practice
that dates from the middle Of
the 10th century - but prints
it as solid prose, with marginal
references to the standard YER
sification. Physically. the book
is handsomely designed and
printed. {
The reader must not expect
anything extraordinarily ICON
oclastic in it. I have lived with
the book for six weeks and have
noticed nothing in it baSically
different from XIV that is
not also in other present day
translations. (Six weeks Is too
short a time to know q work
like this. There may be points

name of Barabbas, intensifying

Matt. IL, 28, NEB. Come to me,
all who labor and are heavy
laden, and ! will give you rest. "
RSV. Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest" XIV.
In the first place, no one
who cannot understand XIV,
can make anything of NEB Or
RSV. See how the slow, weary
sense of the line is lost in the
later versions.
For verify I say unto you
:" Matt. S, 18, and paSsim.
XIV, comes out Il tell you
this" NEB. and surely the
English cannot know how
comic this is to the American
ear. 1t is the very phrase Of
Eisenhower.
You are salt to the world.
And If salt becomes tasteless.
how is its saltness to be re-
stored?" Matt. S, 13 NEB. "Ye
are the salt Of the earth: but
if the salt have lost his SAVIOR,
wherewith shall it be salted?"
XIV. Come now, gentlemen, do
you maintain that salt Of the
earth" is not good contem-
porary English, and that salt
ness" is?
why do you look at the
speck of sawdust in your
brothers eye. with never a
thought for the great plank
in your own?" Matt. 7, 3. NEB.
And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brothers
eye, but considerest not the
beam that is in thine own
eye?" XIV. The point is that
perhaps, If one did not have
the XIV phrase already a part
of his consciousness, NEB
would sound just as good. But
such is not the case, and NEB
seems merely unpardonably
perverse.
OF what advantage is it to
change in Matt. 13. "a fl, the
