deavoring tQ measure up to their task

against many handicaps . These schools

ar c open for instruction approximately

f i ft y hours during the e n t i f ( ~ y ea r, and

u.ttendance is v ol un ta ry . T he p ub li c

schools ar c open about 9i 5 hours pe r

year, with attendance compulsory. The

ratio is twenty to one, witll relig:ious in·

struetion on the sllOrt end. Therefore,

t he Sunday Schools should be aided in

their most important task by some

means of instruct ion that will ad d to the

time spent each year on th e study of

religion.

Narberth experimentcd last year with

a Daily Vaca tion Bibl e School, con·

duc te d by the Philadelphia Association

which promoted ·such work i n t hi s dis

During the four weeks in .July our at

d re d mar k, hu t t he e xt reme ly l ow at ·

tendance of the closing two wceks in

August brought avernge for tllO whole

six weeks> down t o f if ty boy s a nt ! girls.

The B ib le s to ri es , memory wor k an d

singing were taught in a fairly suc

cessful manner, while the handwork

pe riod was found to he too lengthy and

tiresome.

Exper ie nc e g ai ne d hy t he above cx

periment woul d l ea d u s to think thnt

two .mnin faults could be remedied if' n

school of like nature \I-cre conducted

this coming summer. First, to conduct

n four instead of s ix-weeks' session,

stnrting .July it h nnd ending Angust1 st . S econ d, decrense the time allowed

for hnn'dwork considerably an d in its

place substitute g-nmcs, exercises, dra ·

matics, etc., all be ing express ional of

t he B ih le truths taught in th(' Bttl(ly

periods.

The sho rt en ed t erm \Yonld decrease

the budget o f th e sehool from the * ~ : l jof Inst year to not more than *1,,0,

whit'll amount would certainly he n low
