SUGGESTS Bible
STUDY in SCHOOLS

A plea for more religious instruc-
ton in the public schools was made
at the session yesterday afternoon OF
the Delaware State training confer
ence Of the Interchurch World Move
ment of North America, at Grace NJ. E.
Church.
Il was asserted that while the child
Of Jewish parents receives $50 hours
year Of religious instruction. AID the
child OF Roman Catholic parents re-
ceives 800 hours in that period the
child OF the evangelical church has in
the course Of year but 2i hours OF
study Of relig' ous subjects. Dr.. C. A.
Hauser, Of Philadelphia, spoke on ihi
subject.
Three general solutions will ap-
pear to the casual observer" he said
One is TO create evangelical paroch al
schools and place the children in
those, but that would destroy our
public school system The second
solution is to carry religious studies
into the school. which would be
aga nst the law Of the country. sinre
tn rd solution is the one which ha,
worked most satisfactory at Gary. Ind.
