one afternoon of the week. To give up two half days for this work in order to bring up his work to thu standard set by the larger churches puts hlm and his church in de- cided disadvantage. It ought to be borne in mind that the smaller churches arc after all still with us and as bodies even in a majority. and still think they have a mission and a right to exist and to be heard. Il also ought to be borne in, mind that their members and their pas tors are as loyal as those churches which have the personnel and the material means to give two or more afternoons to this work.
 IL has been suggested to divide the city into zones to overcome this difficulty. The zone system which after all in small city like New Britain is not absolutely necessary except perhaps in certain sections of the city--deprives religious instEuc- ton of one essential element viz the pastors opportunity to come into personal contact with the chil' dren of his people. Religious In struction is after all more than i'm parting knowledge, it is also i'm parting life through personality And no pastor will give up thi' privilege if he is a pastor at all ant not merely an instructor. We wan
 the personal contact also. ..
 The writer would respectful,
 suggest that one whole afternoon il
 the wcek--7not two as planned--i
 set aside for religious instruction
 This would be fair to the smalle
 churches, 10 their pastors and |
 their children and would not bur
 den them with too heavy task. Respectfully, .--.- q. II. sCHNECK. ' Pastor of the German Bapti' Church, New Britain.

Religious Education in Schools

Religious Education in Schools
 To his deep regret the writer was unable last Thursday evening to De present on time at Walnut Hill school at the joint meeting which discussed the inauguration or week day instruction for the public schooi children of our city. He is heartily in favor of the movement and appre- lciates as deeply as any pastor ana priest in this city the fine spirit or our school board in this matter. Thirty years ago, new conner ln this country and young man or limited experience, he made in fa culty meeting of well known seminary the motion to take up re- ligious education into the curricu- mm and to give courses in it. With a benign dubious smile the whole matter was laid on the table and rested there. Today this very same seminary has one of the outstanding men in religious education on its faculty. Thus matters have changed. IThose of us who have experienced reyercnt and wise religious instruc- tion in the school years of their own youth and have given it for many years probably appreciate the coming of this movement more than those to whom it is comparatively new.
 The writer is particularly glad that a fine Christian gentleman ana experienced pastor as Rev M. Gau- dian has been selected as a mem. bcr of the joint committee. Of all the Protestant churches the Luther. an church has stressed religious in struction the most and has accom- plished no mean results.
 The writer notices by the repor' of the meeting on February 1s al given in the New Britain Daily Herald" of February 20 that Rev F. w. Schaefer, pastor Of th' :. Reformation Lutheran church, sug eested in the meeting that all. chil
 dren be dismissed on the same aft :, ernoon as this might help his churcl
 and other small churches in the Cit
 which might not be able to carr
 on the work for two days.
 The writer heartily agrees wit
 Rev. Schaefer. The larger churches
 both of Protestant and Cathoh
 faith. have assistant pastors an
 priests, directors of religious edu
 cation and other paid experts wh
 will be glad to spend two and mor " afternoons for this work. The
 have been engaged for this yer '' purpose. It is rumored that {" more of the larger Protestai
 churches are planning to have wit
 them next fall directors for religion Y, instruction to meet the situatle ,g properly.
 '9 We all are aware of the fact tn
 children of different ages can not taught successfully in one grou 'd Any sensible pastor will adhere M the grade arrangement in his cour
 of religious instruction. The que
 ton however Is if pastor of sms -. church-and 1t is he who has to "' this work which in larger church # done by the pastors assistant-c'
