secretary of the Delaware Sunday
School Association, Governor John G.

clamation designating Sunday, No

the day states that, "With all our
so-called drives and days set apart
or special calls to duty. it is certainly
fitting that our Sunday schools have
a day, too. Lest we forget, in our
enthusiasm for these obligations to
our everyday life in State and nation.
l am asking that Sunday, November
25, be designated as Go to Sunady
School Day, not in a formal procla-
nation. but as one interested and be-
lieving thoroughly in the good there
accomplished. The church and COM
munity can we'll be judged by the
spirit and success of the Sun1ay
school. The cheer. the hope of youth
found there, relieves greatly the bur-
dens of older folk and we serve we'll
by holding true our youth to those
ideals and principles fustered in the
