City to Again Have
D. Y. B. School
FOUR CHURCHES TO UNITE IN
HOLDING FIVE WEEKS
SCHOOL.

Redwood Falls will again have a
Daily Vacation Bible School Similar
to the school which has been SO sue
cessfully conducted in the Presbyterian
Church by DIR. A. w. Ross, for the
past three summers. However this
year the school will be a community
school and will be- directed by repre-
sentatives of the Presbyterian, Metho-
dist, Episcopal and Christian Church
es. David MeNaughton is in charge
of the committee of nine which con-
sists of Mrs. w. H. Ball, Mrs Fred
Orth, Mrs. Ahbie Robbins, Mrs. Ress
NJ Wilson, C. A. Luscher, DR.. GA.
Alexander, John Colrilie, and j. w,
Woodworth.
It is planned to have the sci1ooI con-
Quoted very similarly to the schools
OF previous seasons and any child of
the city from the first to the sixth
grades inclusive is eligible for regis
tration. The Board of Education has
consented to the use of the high school
building for the holding of the school
and the committee on general arrange
ments, under the chairmanship of
Mrs. Ball, will arrange for the teach
ers, etc. The general plan is to have
Music and Bible taught during the
first part of the morning session and
the last part of it devoted to manual
training, basketry and crafts. There
will also be a. kindergarten depart
ment where these same subjects, sim
plified, will be taken. up by the little
children. The sessions will last from
nine to eleven-thirty and it is planned
to have the school continue for five
weeks during the early summer, to be
closed about the middle of July. The
usual weeks vacation for Chautauqua
will be taken, DR.. Ross finding that
such vacation interferes very little
with the regular procedure of the
school.
The school will be financed by volun-
tary contributions, none of the expense
OF conducting it to be added to the
budgets of the churches. Donations
will be asked from the parents of the
children attending and also from oths
ers interested. While the expense
will not be extremely heavy, since the
whole community is to be served, it
naturally follows that there will be
some increase over the expense of last
year. The finance committee, under
the leadership of Mr.. Colville, will
make its solicitation soon.
