HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT.
FOR BIBLE STUDY

One of the interesting matters that
came up this morning during the bust
ness session Of the State Education
association was the report Of the sub
committee on Accredited Bible study
which devised a plan by which stu
dents in the public schools may get
credit for work done in Sunday schools.
This report was as follows:
We your Committee appointed to
co operate with similar committee
from the West Virginia Sunday School
association on proposing some method
by which High school credit may be
secured for approved Bible study, beg
leave to report;
The Sunday School association ap-
pointed DR.. D. B. Purinton, Prof. L. L.
Friend and Dr.. Walter A. Snow to rep
resent their association. The joint
committee was organized by the cleo
ton of M. P. Shawkey as chairman and
Walter A. Snow as secretary, and
named itself "The Joint Committee
on Accredited Bible Study"
Several state plans have been ex7
amined and the members of the COM
mittee have received copies Of the
syllabi Of the North DakSta plan, the
Indiana plan, Necelabana plan and the
Virginia plan as well as copies OF
Judge Clarence A. Woods book,
school and College Credit for Out
side Bible Study" and Dr.. Atheran's
brochure. 1.-THE Correlation Of Church
and Public Schools"
The committee of the Sunday School
association made its report to the Elk
ecutive committee of that organization
on November rs, and their report was
unanimously adopted. InaSmuch as
their report Is entirely satisfactory to
US, we herewith present 1t verbatim as
our report, as this will facilitate put
ting the plan In speedy operation:
We therefore recommend that the
West Virginia Education association
authorize its sub committee on Ac-
credited Bible Study to report to the
Joint committee that the West Vir-
ginia Education association recon-
fmends:
/. That tho Indiana Plan be adopt
ed as the approved plan for West Viz
ginia with such adaptations as are
necessary.
2. That the Indiana Syllabus be
adopted as the approved guide and
text book for the West Virginia Plan,
now being inapgurated.
8. That tAe amount Of credit be the
same as in the Indiana Plan, viz one
High school credit for any two Of the
four parts of the syllabus
4. That the basis for the Plan be
as follows:
a Teachers Of Classes-The teacher

shall meet the academic and profess
sional requirements of teachers In the
High school In which credit Is sought
b Equipment = Each class must
have a separate room for iG meetings
which shall be equipped with tables,
maps, charts, blackboards, cases foF
books and reference library Of at least
six 60 volumes one Of which must
be good Bible dictionary and another

c Recitation Pertod-The recitation
period shall bs minimum Of rs min
utes. It is expected that at least
as much time will be spentin lesson
preparation as In recitation.
5. That we recommend as perma-
nent organization to have charge OF
