system OF religious census work
through the public schools OF the
city. His idea. as stated Friday, Is
TO have the school authorities card
index every pupil. obtaining from the
pupil information as TO his or her
same about other members OF the pu-
Pills family. and whether those listed
are in Sunday school work
Mr.. Mccall said he proposed some
time in the near future to place this
proposal before the board OF school
trustees.
There could be no objection TO the
plan on the ground that II would be
sectariau," said Mr.. Mccall. It would
not be sectarian. Ny idea would be
for the data collected TO be at the
disposal Of all ministers and churches
n the city-Protestant Catholic and
Jew. alike"
The Central Baptist pastor con-
tended that the plan Of working
through the schools, regularly, would
be far superior to that Of an coca
sional religious census, such as Just
had in FL PaSO. II would involve less
work and would keep the religious
statistics more up TO date, he pointed
out, saying that whatever expense the
system might necessitate he was sure
the various churches would meet.
