Sunday schools has been started in con-
nection with the Woodland Park Baptist
church in the hill district Beside the
regular Sunday school work a manual
training department has been introduced
within the last month, and is proving a.
great success. How much children love
to make things" or learn to do some
thing is shown by the eagerness with
which the little ones, whether belonging
to this church or not, crowd into these
manual classes.
Though the work has only just begun,
every Wednesday afternoon sixty or

simple handicraft that most pleases
them or that is best adapted to their
ability.
The room in which most of the class
es meet, is a long, bright, well lighted
room, with high ceiling, and carpeted
with a soft, thick tan and brown carpet
furnished with a piano, and numerous
: long wooden tables and benches for the
work. All this gives an attractive ap-
pearance, certain home-lil1e look to the
room. This is the principal room where
most of the classes work, but to the
left is another, a smaller one, where the

their tables, and the latter have a table

Through it all there runs a subdued
hum of conversation, but with so many
children in the rooms it is wonderful that
there is not more noise. The fact that
they are all interested and busy, how
ever, probably accounts for it,
The Sunday school itself, pure and sim
pie, has been in existence for somethfag
over year, and began struggling ex-
lstence with a handful of pupils in the
parlors of Mrs. George Griggs' residence.
Soon the classes so increased in size as
to be too crowded in a private house, and
then the Sunday school was opened in
this building. Always eager in Sunday
school work, and interested in children.
Mrs Griggs, who is assisted by her
daughter, Miss Helen Griggs, several
weeks ago decided to try putting in this
manual training department in connection
with the regular Sunday school work,
and it has proved a most extraordinary
