River since Tuesday morning of this
week. Stanton Grimes, 16-year-old
son of Oscar F. Grimes. a farmer.
was found this morning. working with
a gang of laborers on a State road
in the lower county.
The lad disappeared apparently
without cause. His father immedi-
ately instituted an investigation, even
to advertising his disappearance
through the press OF Baltimore, as
1t was thought that he would make
his way to that city, although so far
as known, he was without funds. II
was learned in the meantime, that
the boy spent Tuesday night in a
shack not far from the home of his
father and Wednesday he was seer
on the South river road coming In
the direction of Annapolis. He is said
to have told friend that he intend
ed going to Baltimore, hence the ap-
rehension of his father and his turn
to extraordinary measures in an en-
deavor to catch UP with him. With
the finding of the boy this morning
there followed a happy reunion

NEW SERVICE IS
CONDUCIVE To
CHURCH GOING
Plan Has Been Worked Out In
Chicago Church BY Which
Children And Parents Unite In
Morning Worship-Trial Has
Convinced.
TRADITIONAL FAMILY
PEW IS RESTORED


CHICAGO, Apr How the family
automobile may become to the city
church goer what the family farm
wagon has always been to the rural
worshipper, is being worked out at st
Marks Church, a downtown Episco-
palian Parish in Minneapolis, the Rev
Phillips E. Osgood, rector of the
parish, told the church club of Chic
ago in an address here today.
The Sunday School as separate in
stitution has been abolished in his
church. DR.. Osgood said, and the par
ents and children are brought to-
gether for morning worship. Five
months trial has convinced him that
the plan is a success.
5-Minute Sermon To Children
When parents and children as
semble at IL o'clock in the church. the
regular service of morning prayer is
conducted with some slight modifica-
tion to suit the changed program A
five-minute sermon for the children is
then delivered, followed by the Offer
tory, and then while hymn is being
sung the children retire to the parish
house where they have 80 minutes OF
class instruction. Meanwhile, the
regular sermon is preached for the
edification of their elders.
When the regular service is ended
the children are waiting for their par
ents, the family automobile is loaded
or the family group proceeds to street
cars, and all return home ready for
Sunday dinner
Tradition OF Family Pew
"The chief object of this plan is to
restore the family pew to it's tradi-
tional position" continued Mr.. Os-
good. "We found that because of our
situation on the edge of the down
town district, many of our parish chill
dren were not attending our school
But the difficulty was not so much
that the children were going else
where for instruction, as that the
family unity in worship was sundered.
or that ultimately we lost the entire
family because parents so naturally
follow their children.
"The great fault of the traditional
Sunday School was that 1t did not
train children in church going. 1t
could no more do this than black
board diagram could teach a person
to swim. The only way to teach church
going is going to church. The only
way to learn how to swim is to get
into the water and SWIM
Attendance Shows Increase
Mr.. Osgood said the attendance of
the children had been increased 80
per cent. in the FIVE months and that
the regular attendance of parents at
services had been well ahead of the
same period for preceding years.
"The presence of the children has
vitalized the service" he added For
| merly we were a rather staid- down
town congregation, but that condition
has changed
The plan has been supplemented by
| activities for the children starting at
10 a. mr., so that parents who desire
may attend adult bible classes as
sembling at that hour.
While the bible classes are in ses-
sion, children who care to do so may
occupy themselves in modelling, map
making. extemporaneous dramatiza-
ton of Biblical stories. and similar
activities under the supervision of an
instructor.

Much Research Work

Research on the problems of educa-
ton for citizenship has been carried
On by educators for several years
and at the forthcoming World Con-
terence on Education, to he held in
san Francisco next June, when dele.
gates from all parts of the world will
meet, this subject will be discussed
it was said
There is. however" declares the
associations statement, "a larger
movement going forward than mere
ly the teaching of citizenship. This
is character education" which has
rs its fundamental purpose the culti-
vation of the disposition and purpose
to act right as citizens, and not mere
ly or chiefly knowledge of the con-
stitution and the principles of gov
ernment. Statistics show that half
IF the notorious criminals and citi-
zonship perverts of the nation are
well informed regarding the United
states constitution and the laws of
The states. These people take adj
vantage of their legal knowledge to
contrive ways and means of breaking
the laws of the land without subject
Ing themselves to the danger of suf-
fering the, penalties Of their crimes.
Character Forming Paramount
THE educators of America realize
that character forming should be one
OF the principal aims of our schools
lnculcate in the child the will to do
right and act right, and he will grow
up to he worthy citizen. Ignore
the moral side and there is always
the possibility that the more knowl-
edge a person receives, whether il
be in citizenship or anything else
the greater criminal will he turn out
to be eventually. Many defaultine
bank president would be only "sec-
ond-story worker but for an educa-
ton that has neglected the moral ele-
ment"
The Character Education Associa-
tion was organized to give impetus
to the movement for character train
ing. 1t is under the control of a
board of trustees, all federal educa.
tors, and the state commissioners and
superintendent of education, is non
