BIBLE STUDY SUCCESS IN
HEREFORD PUBLIC SCHOOL

Hereford, Texas.-Bible study i'm
proves discipline in the public
schools, declares the superintendent,
after trying IL for three years here
| He further states that he would never
mperintend school again where he
could not get bible into it.
Banker Begins Work.
c. A. +. Parker, president of the
1 Western National Bank Of Hereford,
a ranch town of 1000, succeeded in
getting Bible course started in 1917
and paid the salary of n teacher
from the Moody Bible Institute in
Chicago. After he had supported
the work for year, the churches
saw il was a go" and asked tina.
they be permitted to take care Of the
expenses, which they are doing now.
Course Provided in Grammar School.
In the high school the Bible study
is elective, but in the grammar school
all students are required 20 take il.
There are two forty-fve minutes
periods a week for Bible study, in
the high school and Of a total at
tendance of about $50, 65 have en-
rolled in these classes. The pupils
are given examinations on the Bible
every two months, as they are exam
med in other subjects.
Two Glasses Weekly.
In the grammar school there are
two twenty minute Bible classes a
week The classes are made just rs
interesting as possible, everything be-
ing told in story form. The children
are taught the books Of the Bible by
divisions, memorize four or five
Psalms in a year, and a great many
verses, with their locations. They are
given an outline on the way Of sal
vation, memorizing the verses that
90 with each step. They are en-
couraged TO study az home, and those
who cannot read are told 20 ask their
parents TO read 20 them and 20 To-
cate memory verses--a method Of
getting the parents interested also
in reading the Bible. The children
often say, Il wish we had a Bible
study every day"
Sunday School Teachers Have To
Prepare.
This Bible work is highly recon-
mended by the parents, and Sunday
school teachers say they have TO give
more time 20 preparation 20 be able
20 teach the children, who already
know SO much of the Bible. The
teachers are hardly able 20 ask
question that the pupils cannot an
swer.
