NEW TRACK TO OPEN.
Owners are Anxious to Know if They
 Will be Welcomed.

New York, July 1s.-The Empire City Trotting association announced today that a running race meeting would be held on it's track near Yon- kers. August 5 to August 30, under the license recently granted the associa- tion by the state racing commission.
 What attitude the Jockey club, which controls the racing on the other metropolitan tracks, will assume to- wards the proposed meeting on the Empire City course, and the owners, trainers and jockeys and horses talk ing part in it, is in doubt. according 10 the Empire people who are seeking light on the matter.
 An official of that track said to- day that 1t might be necessary to postpone for few days the announce ment of the details of the proposed meeting owing to the failure of the Jockey club to answer the associa- tion's inquiry, but 1t was not believed an attempt would be made to boy colt It.

cording to advancement In scholarship and superintendents are selected with a view to their administrative abilities their education and their general fitness. Mod ern educational methods are introduced blacl1boards and charts are literally used to illustrate problems, libraries are filled with reference books and pupils are ex- pected to use them. From a meeting place for parrot-like repetition of psalms and texts, the Sunday school has grown into large school, filled with eager pupils who study the Bible with intelli- gence and become dependable factors in making the world better, more enlightened and more helpful.
 A great home work is done by the schools, to reach those who cannot come to the lessons. There Is also a cradle roll" on which is registered the name of each child born to parents who are members or are interested in the work. and this child Is kept under the eye of the school until large enough to enter and become a student. Attendance is encour- aged in every way, and leading schools devote one day each year to a canvass of their city or town to determine the Sun day school census, to see just who at tends and ascertain why others stay away. One memorable day in London the Sunday schools visited every person In that great city, thus proving the far reaching possibilities of the great organi- zation.

ing the present system of Bible study as exemplitied in the International Sunday School lessons He had been called into the special work of lesson making by the Chicago Sunday School union in 1865 His able assistance was B. F. Jacobs, who immediately put in plea for three things, that the same lesson be had each Sunday for the whole school that the same les son be used throughout the world on the same day, and that all newspapers and magazines that would, be persuaded to print explanatory notes on the lessons and so diffuse a wider knowledge of the work throughout the world. MT. Jacobs plea has become a real thing and the mill lions of schools of the world recite the same lessons each Sunday. A committee which chooses the lessons for the worlds use Is composed of picked men from the countries using the International lessons. Fifteen men on this side the Atlantic de- vote about a weeks session each year to the work. Twelve of these are from the United States and three from Canada The committee merely selects the text, then each denomination that uses it adds its own explanations and notes and has its textbooks printed In its own publishing houses.
 As a rule the lessons are divided be- tween the Old and the New Testament. At the top of each lesson the committee places the topic, it selects memory verse and golden text, and aims at a very comprehensive. yet simple course that will allow the Bible to be covered in six years course of study. The lessons as they appear in the Sunday schools are simplifed according to the ages of the children, the same text being used, as stated, but the interpretations being plac- ed within reach of each mind from the kindergarten tot to the seniors of the Bible class.
 Few institutions have shown such re- markable progress as the Sunday school. As an educative factor it has possibilities in this country beyond those of our com mon schools, for while the public school and the Sunday school go hand In hand In country districts, using the same build ings, having the same teachers, the en- rollment of Sunday school pupils exceeds that of the public school pupils of the same age. Sunday schools are graded in the larger cities, the teachers are trained for the work, promotions are made ac-

Sunday schools have greatly increased in popularity since the day eighty-seYen years ago, when an irate Connecticut min 1ster shook his cane a d pretty girl of his congregation and accused her of 'tdoine the devils work" because she had organ ized Sunday school Bishops. ministers and laymen are all working together now for the common good that can be done by this agency. In 1926 there were lSO 600 pupils in the Sunday schools o fthe United States. something like e-sixty-sixth of the present number. The second anniver- sary of the American Sunday School union was held that year As there were only 200 miles of railway in the country at that time. the attendance was necessarily small, the knowledge of tie work not very widely disseminated, and the con certed effort of all Protestant denomina- tions not yet secured. The early lessons were such as each school might choose for itself. Usually they were certain pass ages of the Bible with explanations by the pastor or the superintendent Long pass ages and whole chapters were memorized and repeated, and the faculty of reason was not developed in the child. In fact. a child was not supposed to be capable or reasoning.
 One day some one made the astounding discovery that child can think that it really has ideas of it's own. that 1t can really interpret passages of scripture and ask intelligent questions about them. Then the enlightened grown-ups set about pre- pairing a better order of lessons. In 1926 the American Sunday School union urged a scheme for the adoption of selected les sons. The next year this association in dorsed the plan of Rev. Albert Judson. who had planned a consecutive series of lessons to extend over five years prepar- ing textbooks for the use of the schools. In 1862 Orange Judd famous as tho adi+o. of an agricultural paper improved on the existing system and added historical data and analysis to the lessons.

The Movement Is Spreading Every Year and Is No Longer Confined to Poor Children as In the
 First Half Century.
BY FREDERIC j. HAsKIN.

"lt seems as if l had discovered new country where other adventurer chooses to follow Robert Rall1es wrote patnetioally in 11SS He had introduced into Gloucester, England, a novel school that was open only on Sundays. and in which children of the factories were gathered for simple instruction in the rudiments of education and religion. The school and Its founder were booted at and derided. The churches opposed the work S direct sacrilegel the state op. posed it on the groundsfthat the masses must be made to keep their places and given less education or England would have a horror equal to the French revo- lution. Yet Robert Raikes, newspaper man and philanthropist, went on with n.s work despite the fact that mo other adventurer" seemed V1ming his way. In proof of the good of his theory the ragamuffn school of twelve street urchlne has grown into a world wide organization over twenty-six millions s.rons. In the United States alone there are nearly 13,OO0,OOO pupils and teachers in the Sunday schools, enough to make
 
 great as the combined standing armies of the United States. Great Britain, Ger many, France, Russia, Austria Hungary and Italy.
 The Sunday school children of the United States, with the addition of 1OOO.- GOO of their teachers could easily re- place the population of Mexico, and yet they represent the growth of an idea hardly century old in this country The German sects of Pennsylvania are said to have had a Sunday school before the time of the one in Gloucester, and 1t is claimed that a Methodist woman, HannaL Ball, had Sunday school Tn successful operation fourteen years before Raikes founded his. Be that as it may it was from the seed that Rakes sowed and so faithfully tended that the pres ent system is generally conceded to have sprung. From all accounts this Robert Rake; was a sunny hearted fellow, who had learned much of the pathos of the world through his work as a newspaper man, and who was anxious to try some means of alleviating the sufferings of little children. He had seen the horrors of prison life and had tried to help there, but found that one must begia earlier on criminals and prevent the dis ease in the young rather than try to eff feet cure in the adult, especially when the sentiment of the times was against it. So on Sundays he gathered in from the street the waifs who worked week days 1T the factories, and with the help of woman to whom he paid shilling each Sunday he began to teach the first principles of morality and lay ground work for education.
