Religious Education Week

The churches of Fairfield arc to
unite in offering a week of intensive
instruction to all workers in the
church schools, or in any way inter-
ested in religious education.
The pastors have already taken up
the matter with interested leaders in
the churches and have been able to
enlist an exceptionally strong group
of instructors, leaving final arrange
ments for organization and enrolment
to a joint meeting of clergy and laity
which will be held in the yestry Of the
Methodist church Friday evening of
this week.
The date set is the first week in No
vember, each evening from Monday to
Friday. No person enrolling will be
able to take more than one course. for
both teaching periods of each evening
will be devoted to the same study so
that those who finish the course will
have had 10 consecutive periods in that
course. This is true whichever of the
three courses may be taken.

vocational advantage of this plan and
the united support of the Fairfield

ADIES!
Chamberlain's Tablet,

preceding evening. The audience
was, if anything, larger than that of
the first appearance of the artists.
The concert was conducted in
surprisingly orderly manner and the
hundreds of youngsters filed to and
from the auditorium without the
semblance of an accident or confu-
sion.s Many Of the teachers in the
schools accompanied the children and
their presence did much to make the
affair success. The police also did
their part in escorting the audience.
The pieces which We're sung and
played for the children had been
chosen especially for them and from
the ovatfons accorded the artists it
could easily be seen that their selec-
tlonS were admirable. Miss Cyr
made her place in the hearts of Wat
erville people secure. Her songs ap-
pealed strongly to the youthful minds
and she delivered them perfectly.
Mr.. Kravit with his beautiful bass
solos and Mr.. Justin with two suites
of piano solos, both suited to the oc-
casion, rounded out a program which
will not soon be forgotten by the
children who heard it.
