Bible School


A daily vacation bible school has
been held at the Fromberg Methodist
church for the past three weeks. The
school met each morning from Mon
day to Friday at o'clock and continu-
ed until HAS. There were 66 enroll
ed and the pupils were placed in three
divisions according to age and grade.
Rev. Charles Rhodes, who directed
the school, had charge of the upper
division and was assisted by the
Misses Louise and Lucille Nelson, and
Miss Virginia Buzzetti. The middle
fdivision was under the leadership of
Mrs. Charles Rhodes, and Miss
Theresa Arlington, and the lower di-
vision was in charge of Miss Mary
Rhodes and Miss Martha Reed. The
various periods in the three depart
ments were made up of habit talks,
music, bible drill, bible memory work.
bible story period and bible express
sional work in sand table cut-outs,
Fdramatization, etc.
Each morning there was also a
handwork period, the little folks be-
ing busy with scissors and crayons,
and the older scholars with needle
and thread, coping saw work, etc. The
larger boys made camp stools.
Last Friday the school had picnic
at the ranch of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Nelson, lunch being served under
the shade of the trees and the after
noon being spent in games and con-
tests.
On Sunday evening, the closing
exercises took place at the church,
when for two hours the pupils, inter
ested parents and friends heard the
exercises they had learned in the
school. Interesting features were the
songs, bible drills, the scholars find
ing passages of scripture almost as
quickly as they were named, and the
telling of bible stories. A number of
bible stories were dramatized. Certifi-
Gates were given to all the scholars
who had completed the course, and at
the close the handwork of the pupils
was exhibited on three tables in the
social rooms of the church. Many of
the parents expressed their gratifica-
ton at the quantity and also the
quality of the work done in the daily
vacation bible school, which will
/ doubtless become an annual institu-
ton in Fromberg.
