BACK TO SCHOOL" CAMPAIGN
BACKED BY LABOR DEPARTMENT

ruled that no child under fourteen
years Of age shall be employed on
work done under government con-
tract. The fact that the government
is now the largest employer of labor
makes this ruling affect a large num-
Der of children. The United States
employment service has recently
directed its branch offices throughout
the country to discourage the employ
ment Of children under sixteen.
The children's bureau recognizes
that in many cases actual need to
supplement the family income will
, prove to be the deciding factor in the
child's staying out of school. If the
family earnings have been reduced
by the fact that the father or older
brother is serving in the Army, the
Red Cross will help the child to stay
in school. Many children will not be
affected by this provision. however.
and for such children the bureau
urges that local committees secure
scholarships. If each committee will
provide a scholarship to keep one
child in school this year it will mean
that 281, 900 children will be kept
from premature entry into industry.
The cost of one such scholarship is
usually about $3.50 a year.

In order to drive home the idea that
the training possible for children to
secure now will fit them for after-the-
war tasks and is real patriotic service.

Growth of Church Rapid.

The first Lutheran pastor came to
New York in 1857. and in the same
century the denomination appeared in
Pennsylvania. At the time of the
revolution there were 100000 mem
hers scattered from one end of the
colonies to the other, all generally
thoroughly in sympathy with the re-
volt. They moved forward with the
conquest of the west. added to by
the constant stream of immigration
By 1850 there were 1900 congrega-
tions with 100000 members. By 1870
the membership had nearly doubled.
By the end of the century it was the
fastest growing church in America.
This extraordinary growth placed a
great burden on the church organiza-
ton to provide pastors for the incom-
ing immigration. to erect churches
and to take part in Americanizing the
new citizens of the United States. The
result was that there was little chance
for the inner development and organic
growth of the Lutheran Church. Many
parts of the country with separate or
EXAMINATIONS and separate administra-
ton thinking solely of taking care Of
their ever-increasing home mission
burdens. At one time there were four
teen distinct Lutheran synods.
In the last decade the great Ameri-
canization task of the Lutheran
Church has been pretty well COM
pleted. immigration was no more from
Lutheran countries and the Lutheran
people here were more and more
adapting themselves to their new sur
