In addition a new voice was heard when Wilbur Ulenn Voliva. overseer of Zion City, and a champion of the theory that the world is flat, came forward with a statement tliat "evo lution is one of the most dangerous theories ever propounded." As preparations went forward for th trial, with both sides lining up their forces, word came from Hunt ington, Tenn., that the board of edu cation of Curoll county bad announced its purpose to employ no teachers who believed in evolution. The board also condemned Ilenrik Van Loon's "The Story of Mankind," sent to the schools by the circulation department of the state library. John T. Scopes, who as defrndant sprang into wide notice in his first year ns a science instructor, explained his views in a statement at Lexington, Ky., during a visit to the University of Ken tucky, his alma ninter. "I believe that man and all ani mals ascended from the lower or ders, but I have never seen or read nny scinetific statement that man de-trond'-d from a monkey and I do not ! believe that," he said. "No person could teach even the most element ary course in biology without recog nition of the evidences of man's evo- ! lution." ! William Jennings Ifrynn, who will appear on the side of the prosecution, had this to say ; 'I would suggest that the real isue of the Scopes case Is not the teaching of evolution, but who shall control our schools and determine what shall be taught. Some legislatures and some courts have excluded the Rihle from the schools. If a legislature can prohibit the reading of the Bible, can Shoot Is Thirteenth.
