new RECORD IN JUNE BRIDES
Kansas Even Surpassed War Mar
riages of 1917 This Year.

Kansas broke a record this year in
the number of June brides who walked
5Iushingly to the altar. Even the war
record of 1917 was beaten as love
dreams were realized in matrimony
last month. A total of 2,527 weddings
occurred in the state last month as
against a former high record of 2,S2S
for June. 1917.
In 1917 sentiment and romance and
patriotism combined to establish
new high record for matrimonial ven
lures. Even when the boys marched
away to war or the training camps,
the tendency to build a happy home
for two wasn't so great as in the
month just ended. The high cost of
living apparently does not frighten the
lovers one bit. For the first six
months of the year there were II, 109
weddings in Kansas as compared with
8,457 for the same period last year,
s,752 for 1918 and 1853 for 1917.

A WELCOME MOVE
DETROIT PROTESTANTS' PLAN OF
TEACHING CHILDREN RELIGION
-REcoGNlZE NEED OF MORAL
TRAINING.
(By n. G. w. G.. News Service.)

(By N. G. w. C. News Service.)
Daily religious instruction for the
pupils of the public schools during
hours specially set apart for that pur-
pose is contemplated in plans which
six Protestant churches of Detroit are
about to carry into effect for the moral
benefit of the children of their congre-
gallons. The pupils in the apublic
schools will be expected under this
arrangement to attend classes con-
Quoted by teachers of their respective
religious faiths.
Until that part of the plan which
would provide for the instruction of
pupils of the public schools can be
legalized, the churches intend operat-
ing a school of the community type in
which the elements of Protestant
Christianity will be taught. This
school, it is expected, will be opened
about February /.
In statement, Reverend Edward R.
Bartlett, superintendent of education
of the Wayne County Sunday School
Association, described the present and
ultimate scope of the plans which the
several churches have adopted.
ut is generally understood that this
experimental school is organized sim
ply for the purpose of demonstrating
the type of religious instruction
which may be given as supplement.
airy to our Sunday School work. DR..
Bartlett said.
1T is a part of the program that
eventually there will be a certain por-
ton of public school time made avail
able to the different churches, wherein
children may be given religious in
struction, outside the public school
buildings, at some hour or hours, dur
ing the week. The children will be
expected to attend the schools of their
| parents choice, and it will be an ar
rangement in which Protestant, Cath.
Ollie and Jew may well have part
The aim is not the development of
any special church program, but sim
ply to lay more securely the founda-
ton of religious instruction now so
sorely needed by the children of our
nation"
