VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
INCREASES ENROLMENT
Started Wednesday at the Methodist
Church With 60, Today
Had 90.

The Vocation Bible school opened
Wednesday morning In the parlors OF
the Methodist church vita upwards
of 60 children attending. The mum.
Der present this morning was even
more encouraging. Probably 80 boys
and girls were on hand TO learn the
advantage OF doing something both
interesting and educational during
some OF tleir spare summer hours.
The school viii be in session each
weekday. except Saturday, from
$3.50 until 1880 o'clock. Although
there are no special or strict rules
about either enrolling or leaving the
classes. there is good reason TO be.
lieve that those who attend few
times will follow the course OF their
own free will to the end. The work
pursued and the methods followed by
the several ladies OF the different
churches, who act as instructors
make the little tasks to be done seem
so much like one fine game that nc
human boy or girl can fail to enjoy
themselves.
Each morning a regular and ap
proved program is followed The
four classes come together for open
ing devotional exercises after which
come the singing OF children's songs
and ballads and the telling OF Bible
story The remainder of the morn
ing is devoted to handwork OF dlf
ferent kinds such as cutting ANNA
shapes from wood, making miniature
furniture, sewing for the girls ant
scissor work for the beginners ant
primary tots.
The classes are graded into fouI
groups, beginners, primary Junior,
ana intermediates. Each group hal
! own teachers and line of study an,
employment. Miss Florence A. Wal
bridge and Miss jeanette Perkin
have charge OF the first two depart
ments with Miss Helen Thomas n
helper, Mrs. f. l.. Nichols and Mis-
Orissa Parker supervise the olde
children and Miss Thelma Joliyett
and Miss Harley Armstrong act n
helpers. Miss Parker also nm
charge of the singing. There Is nee

certain days in the week to this hell
full work.
! 1Iese schools have been tried 4
many places with great success an
with the enthusiastic support wbic
Bennington churches and parents ar
giving the local classes there Is ever
reason to believe that many benefit
Will be derived bota by children an

From which Supplies May Be Borrow.
ed For Service


The three Bennington villages have
united in establishing a Red Cross
Loan Closet" in Bennington office
from which supplies may be borrowed
by Red Cross workers in other towns
of the county in times OF necessity

have not the facilities or the finely
centralized office OF the local conse-
quently when emergencies arise II is
not always possible for them to be
prepared. In making the arrangement
it Is understood that the borrowers
agree to replace articles within a
month.
Various Red Cross workers through
out the county have been informed of
the new provision and the following

Harriet X. Flower of West Rupert:
Your Loan Closet plan is unique.
Bennington shows great interest and
has been OF much service in Red
