RELIGION STUDY
IN The SCHOOLS
Plan Under Consideration to Give
Religious instruction in the
Public School

One of the most widely discussed ed
ucational problems of.today, is that Of
week day religious education for the
children in come ction with The ~regu-
lar public school.c4rriculem r or some
time past, there has been agitation in
the. various churches Of our city con-
cerning such a system for Willmar.
The desire for the innovation seemed
to be common among all the cOngre-
cations. Nothing definite had been
done, however, toward the material
ization Of these desires. until the mem
bers of the Parents and Teachers As
sociation Of the city took the matter
under advisenent and called meet
ing of the ministers of the city and
representatives from all the churches
to meet and discuss the matter in full
This meeting was held on Monday of
this week in the Public Library build
ing. After discussing the various
phases of the subject the members Of
the Parents and Teachers Association
turned the matter into the hands Of
the clergy Of the city and requested
them to proceed with the formulation
of some definite plan for religious in
struction which should be presented
to the School Board for approval and
final adoption. It is understood, Of
course, that all is to be done with the
consent and cooperation of the school
board and superintendent.
t @
The plan will be explained in full
detail from the church pulpits next
Sunday, after which vote will be
taken on the matter to ascertain the
desire of the citizens concerning the
entire problem. In its simplest form
the PLAN consists of the following de-
tails: There will. be nothing compul-
sorry about the system. The children of
the grades will be dismissed one hour
per week for religious instruction in
the church of the parents choice. The
religious instruction will be in the
hands Of the pastors OF the churches,
so that there need be no denomina-
tional conflict. IL the parents do not
desire religious instruction for their
children, they may SO choose and
their children will be given work in
the public schools during the hours
when others are dismissed to the
churches. It should be clearly under
stood that the matter Of choosing the
church in which the child is to re-
ceive religious instruct ion will be left
to the parents Of each child. With
these provisions there would seem to
be no ground for opposing the plan.
This general plan is not new, but has
been in opera ton III many different
communities thruout the whole: Uni,
ted States. .5s
81 The matter, having been turned over
Thy the Parents and Teachers Associa.
ton to the clergy, will be given fur
|ther consideration at a meeting to be
held on: Monday, June 10. On that day.
Mrs. August Lundq list will serve din
liner to the ministers at her home, after
which the meeting for final formula
!, ton Of plans will be held. The plan
will then be presented to the Board
Of Education for final adoption and In
corporation into the system Of public
education

Mr.. Abrahamson, Of; Fairfax, field
agent for the Minnesota Russian Re.

Mr.. Hildar Hoaglund, president Of the
Willmar Commercial Club, about the

Solicitors are being appointed to
@canvess the city. An effort viii be
made to secure sufficient funds at
Willmar to buy carload of flour. Mr..
Abrahamson has succeeded in secur-
ing free transportation to the. sea:
board and half rates over the ocean
in this worthy cause. The following ap-
peal has been issued: Il
To the Citizens Of Willmar:
Thus far the City of .Willmar has
not responded as a community to the
cry for help from starving and desti-
tute millions in Russia. We feel that
we cannot longer as a city ignore this
call on our human sympathies. After
consultation with the field agent who
works under the authority of the com
mittee appointed by the State Auth
critics, we have concluded to ask the
people Of the city. at this time to don
ate a carload of -four Every dollar
contributed will be used to buy flour
at cost prices, and transportation will
be donated. A carload of ESQ barrels
will cost at special reduced prices
granted by the millers, $3.50. Ten bar
rels $35, one barrel $3.50. We urge our
people to do their very best in order
that this help may go out as speedily
as possible. All money will be .ac-
counted for by the Kandiyohi County
Committee appointed by Governor
Preus, and the foodstuffs purchased
are distributed in Russia by the Qua.
ker's organization. ~

Every locality should do something.
The Russian famine is the most terri
BILE one that has ever visited Europe.
The periodic drought which unually
strikes Southern Russia about once
in every fifteen years is aggravated by
the devastation following thes World
War. Stark famine afflicts over 15,-
100000 people and thousands are dy.
ing every day. There is lack of draft
animals and seed to enable new crops
to be grown.
Kandiyohi County has always res
ponded to appeals of this kind in the
past, and no doubt our people will do
the best they can in this case.

During the last two weeks q the 'ls City
Council of Willnlar has been m SWrestiing
WITH the problem onnected ~ with the
paving Of how tosre-a arrange thesWhite
Way poles, and what Z g TO. sdosWMith g the
overhead wires, espec where the
corner posts Will stlc IS out on the cor
ners. The original plansswass 70 Z leave

later and only m pro wide sfor. .condutts lgl un-
der the rossings. the u remand IS Ter to
be provided later under the ssidewalks.
Such a plan would require the tearing
up Of sidewalks later when Is might
be determined to do away with the
unsightly overhead poles and wires.
The situation on 9 number OF promin-
ent corners is such, however. that
poles serving lines in both directions
will stand out in the pavement on the
corner, an impediment to traffic and
their unsightliness emphasized by the
improved appearance Of the paved
streets. To setsthese poles back from
the corner would mean two poles In
stead Of one, one higher than the 9th,
er, and make the pole and wire nuis-
ance greater instead OF less and an
added expense for . temporary expe-
dient. Had Willmar5 been laid out with.
alleys it might have been pogeiblesto
get along by running the wires thru
them.
On the question Of the White Way
no member of the Council realized. the
magnitude Of the Job Of re5arranging
these poles and lights, until the ques-.
tion was reached: IT. Is SO closely tied
up with the paving that It would be
impossible to separate the two with
any kind Of satisfactory result lt. To re-
place the old poles only as tar 80 they
go will in itself involve q large ex-
pense. The type OF pole nov suaed,
