Vacation Bible Schools

Marc N Goodnow in the July Mother s
 Magazine.
 Sc far as many keen observers of child life are concerned, the vacation problem of profitably employing the child's idle hours has been solved by the Vacation Bible schools. Wordy arguments are of little ava:l-see the thin- in actual operation and ask the kids themselves what they think about it, for that is the only way to learn the real worth of any movement for children. As an eyewitness you'll not be surprised to hear some of them ask: why don't they hate it all the year?" One could hardly find a stronger argument for the new move ment, unless it is the touching incident of the poor mother who was so well pleased with the effect the school had upon her little daughter that she sent one of her hard earned dollar bills to the principal to help pay expenses.
 Hundreds of churches and schools in threescore of the country's congested quarters were thrown open last sum- mer for the instruction and recreation of children. The work was under the auspices of the Daily Vacation Bible schools, the primary object of which is to keep children under the working age of the street during the summer va cation. The first step necessary to the mpassing of this object was to inter- est the children and to this end the daily programme was designed to be as different as possible from that of the ordinary school. The day was divided into three distinct periods for physical. mental and manual training, but at no time was the fundamental purpose of the movement-the insulting of Chris tian ethics and the right principles of living-ever lost sight of. Yet this was never permitted to obtrude itself.
