PLAN C|TY-W|DE
SPIRITUAL SCHOOLS
Children Will Be Taught Ideals
Of Citizenship In Great Re-
ligious Campaign
IS INTERDENOMINATIONAL

To educate the young people of the
city to the spiritual content Of citizen
ship, just as the public school system
fits them mentally, is the object of a
city wide campaign about to be under
taken by the Philadelphia Sunday
School Association to give weekday re-
ligious instruction to all. children Of
public school age.
This will not interfere with the work
Of the Sunday schools.
The present move, which wiIf, in all
likelihood, call for the eventual Co
operation Of every church of every faith
in the city, is characterized by Samuel
B. Fares, general secretary OF the
Sunday School Association, "the great
est and most revolutionary move any :
where and at any time in the history OF
educatiop.'
The need of spiritual training Of the
young along lines beyond the scope OF
the public school system has long been
felt by all thinking citizens, according
to Mr.. Fares. and the plan now about
to be launched will fit the children OF
all parts and classes of the city with a
of ideals, ambitions and rules
of conduct that he believes will be OF
inestimable value to the type Of citizen
ship they will produce and which they
could receive in no other way. 80
1.-THE Sunday schools have not been
giving this sort of guidance to enough
children to accomplish this great need, v
said Mr.. Fales. "It remains for some
new and widespread agency such as we
are irving 10 crpnte TO raise the spirit
ual level Of our future citizenship in a
way that is far more intimately con-
nected with the everyday life of the
children than the Sunday school.
"There are ia Protestant churches
In the city through which the associa- :
tion can begin to work out its plan. We
hope to start series Of experimental
schools for spiritual instruc-
ton in which we will learn the best
hours and locations for the great num-
ber of schools to follow. as well as the
and methods of teaching"
A meeting Of the Council of Religious
iucation OF the association will be
held next Monday in the Fletcher NJ. Il.
Fifty fourth and Master
streets. at which time plans for the
starting of the experimental schools
will be decided upon.
