BUDGET S5,4O0 FOR
 CHURCH SCHOOLS
Weekday Program Will Average
 S6.56 Per Pupil for Year

The board of directors Of the United week day church schools outlined budget of $5,400 which is s6.56 per pupil for I'll pupils for the coming year and heard reports of the three supervisors in its meeting at the South Congrega- tional church last night.
 The First Church of Christ, the South Congregational, the Stanley Memorial and the Trinity Mctho- dist churches, who are cooperating in the United week day church schools, have written in their budgets for the year enough money to finance the schools.
 The supervisors of the schools report an enrolment of I'll pupils which is & net gain of 57 since the beginning of school. They report fl teachers employed, which is a gain of ten. The schools are scrv- ing 125 children who are not be- ing reached by the Sunday schools In these four churches. High edu- cational standards are set up for this work. The classes average 26 pupils per class and each class has q trained teacher. The small chill dren are transported either by troll ley or bus or taxi when they come from q distance and are provided with chaperons to safeguard their passage across busy streets.
 Frederick l.. Fay, supervisor for the fourth, fifth and sixth grades states that "The children are learn ing to formulate their own prayers in the week day classes. Some of the classes have worked out wor- ship programs as projects. Others have dramatized the Bible stories One of the most interesting of these dramatizations has been that of the visit of the prophet Amos to Bethel. Through this dramatiza- ton the children have really caught inc spirit Of that old Hebrew prophet. The purpose Of the course of study in grades four and five is to give pupils a conception of God which will be of help 10 them ir their daily life and which will not have 10 be changed later on. The purpose in grade six is 10 acquaint pupils with Palestine. its country people and customs"
 Miss Cora B. GraUlch, super. visor for grade three, reports that very good work is beirg done by the teachers in this grade in giving the children a religious intcrpreta. tion of the creation Of the world of themselves, the Thanksgiving season and the Christmas season This is accomplished througt stories, songs prayers and the giv' ing of baskets 10 shut-ins and th, trimming of Christmas trees fol the New Britain day nursery.
