Sunday Schools to Have Preliminary
Contest With Mamma Schools

Tentative arrangements have been
made whereby the month OF October
shall be given over to a measuring
OF forces between the Sunday schools
OF Nampa and Caldwell. At present
the Nampa schols enroll about 200
moremore scholars than the Caldweli
schools and this months preliminary
contest seeks to bring the Caldwell
Sunday schools more nearly to the
basis of the Nampa schools in at
tendance.
At the close of the preliminary con
test this month the leaders can the
more equitably determine just the
points that the contest shall consider
and whether it shall be a contest for
percentage of respective increase or
stralghtout attendance one with
other matters of importance such as
offerings, new scholars, on time at
tendance etc.
Practically all OF the Caldwell
schools have classes for all ages,
though the Adult class at St. David )
Episcopal church meets Thursday
evenings. Caldwell especial weak
ness is the Adult Department. There
fore let the parents and grown-ups
take to themselves this motto: Train
up a child in the way he should go
and go that way yourself"
