PEOPLE REACTlNG
TO PILGRIM rule
First Settlers Took Life Too
Seriously, Marsh Says

The Pilgrim Fathers took their
religion too seriously and it Is be-
cause Of that fact that the pendu-
lum is swinging the other way to-
day, according to Oscar A. Marsh.
Mr.. Marsh. who is chairman OF the
board of directors of the United
Week Day church school and chair
man OF the vacation church school
committee Of the New Britain
Coincil Of Religious education,
spoke on Religious Education" at
the luncheon of the Lions club at
noon today.
He said religious education is one
OF the outstanding subjects OF dis
cussion by the public today. One Of
the reasons for this Is that empha-
sis on religious education is being
placed on the shoulders OF the
young people.
ITO properly educate child re-
ligiously it Is necessary to start with
the grandparents" sair Mr.. Marsh.
He said the biggest problem in
training children in religious knowl-
edge Is the fact that they do not
find at home in many cases the
background which Is consistent
with what the parents expect the
school to teach them.
He said from 60 to 70 per cent
of the children who find their way
into juvenile court have little or
no religious training. More relig-
ious education Is one OF the an
swers to today's crime conditions
he added.
The religious schools and the
church vacation school. he explain
Cd. teach only the fundamentals of
religion acceptable to all faiths. He
told OF the program of the vacation
school, with its first hour OF religi-
Gus training and the second hour
of manual instruction.
He spoke Of one OF the features
of the church vacation school that
of promoting world friendship and
referred to the shirload of dolls sent
from the American church vacation
schools to Japanese girls last year.
What was not generally known he
said. was the fact that large doll.
purchased by boys Of the local
school and dressed by girls of the
school, was the first one to be taken
on board the ship.
Teaching religion is an elusive
proposition" he added. at means
more than simply imparting knowl-
edge. Criminals have been able to
quote whole passages from the scrip
lures and even to write some beau
1iful Bible poetry. but to teach re-
ligion properly we must get to the
foundations of character.
Our method is to teach children
in groups SO that they will react in
groups in way that they will not
do as individuals.
1--WE cannot teach boys and girls
to be anything their parents do not
want to be. We can't teach boys
and girls to be honest and upright
unless their parents are willing to
be the same way
Because of the fact that most of
the officers We're at a convention at

Fast News Service


A continuous telephone COM
munication between Berlin and the
London Bureau Of the Associated
Press, gave American newspapers
today an almost instantaneous ac-
count OF the sighting and maneuv-
ering Of the transatlantic mono
plane Columbia before her landing
on Tempelhofer field, the air port Of
the German capital.
This account. forwarded by cable
to New York in the form Of sharp
flashes, told Of the Columbia's cir
cling over the airfeld, the cheering
OF the crowd. the raising of the
American flag and later Of Cham
berlin's graceful gesture in flying
over central Berlin so that whole
population might see the plane.
The normal time difference be-
tween Berlin and New York IS six
hours. but this Is reduced to Ave by
the fact that New York now Is on
daylight saving schedule. Thus the
flash telling Of the landing Of the
Columbia at SSH .. m. Berlin time
and received in New York at 1853
p. m. was bare two minutes be-
hind the actual event.

POWER PLAN STUDY
VOTEDBY CITIZENS
KaIorama Association Asks
Committee Report on
Falls Project.

Thorough study of the Great Falls
power project was voted last night by
the Kalorama Citizens Association,
when, after discussion. the issue was
referred to a committee for report at
the next meeting. which is to be given
over to this matter.
The meeting was the frst of the
season for the association, and was
held in st. Margaret's Hall.
Henry C. Morris, president, was in
Sd: Col. Charles A. Keller and other
engineers, architects and planners,
both favoring and opposing the de-
velopment of Great Falls for power
purposes, to address the November
meeting.
Score Industrialsm.
Mr.. Morris and George A. Kicker
said that the public affairs committee
of the Washington Society of Engi-
neers, of which they are members, OPP
posed the project because, with its de-
velopment, Washington probably
would become an industrial center as
there is not enough need here for the
amount of energy possible of produc-
ton at Great Falls. 1t was pointed
out that no barriers should be placed
in the way of those now applying
for permits to make a new survey to
determine possibilities of a power pro-
duction plant at the Falls, Mr.. Morris
declared that with no need for the
surplus power here it is possible for
the beauty Of the Falls to be marred
in order to supply electrical energy to
Richmond, Baltimore and other near
by cities, should Great Falls be DAM
med up.
Attention of the Traffic Bureau will
be called to a traffic hazard on the
short block of California street be-
tween Columbia road and Connecti-
cut avenue, where busses park to
load and unload passengers and OBJ.
Struct the view of motorists. Trees,
high bushes and walls at other inter-
sections in the community will be rec
commended to the Traffic Bureau for
trimming and leveling in order to pro-
vide clear vision for traffic.
To List Officers.
Mr.. Kicker resigned as delegate to
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions. President Morris appointed Mr..
Kicker, chairman, and Miss Eleanor
Hough and George F. Mitchell as
nominating committee to select a
roster of officers to be elected at the
meeting next month.
Senator Borah, who was to have ad-
dressed the meeting, found it impossi-
BILE to he present, but sent word that
he would welcome any suggestions or
recommendations the association
might wish to make. New members
were A. C. Miller, Robert c. F. Goetz,
