RELIGIOUS DAY SCHOOLS

It is generally known. perhaps. that the cost of maintaining the weekday religious schools is proving a difficult financial problem for some of the Protestant churches which joined in beginning them several years ago. Obviously. where there is determination to make these suc- cessful in every respect and there is a thorough appreciation of duty and the need for imparting religious teachings to mold the young, the financial difficulties will be sur mounted regardless of their size. This. we understand, will be the out come, W hich means there will be no retrogresson from the high attitude taken when the schools were started.
 Despite a desire to be as eco- nomicaI as possible in the adminis- tration of these schools. it appears impossible to carry them on without the expenditure of certain mini mum of money.
 There are two viewpoints: Though in some cases the money to operate these schools, even for the short period allotted to them weekly, totals an appreciable sum. the cause is one that most churchmen regard as worth the expenditure. Secondly, these are days when prosperity is not as widespread as it has been, and the finances naturally reflect the general commercial situation that has existed for the past year. It is said that churches. with their widely diverse membership. and being in- stitutions where rich and poor come together upon an equal footing, feel the pinch of a business showdown quicker than almost any other or ganization. When money is scarce a church which appeals largely to the great middle class knows all about it almost quicker than any other insti- tuition.
 | What has been said, of course, may not apply to every church in- terested in these week day school hours. Those that do not find it diff ficult to meet the necessary expense are simply more fortunate than the others.
 The membership of the churches who are confronted with the cost of running the schools will of course take courage when contem- plating the great good done. good that cannot be comprehended in l figures. The youth who attend these schools are given a touch of that which all moral, civilized and Christian people need most dearly in their lives; and the time to in- fluence minds most effectively is during adolescence. It would be a tragedy indeed If the good work so auspiciously started. and which from the standpoint of numbers has been so successful, should lag because of financial reasons This obviously cannot be permitted to occur. We feel confident that when the situa- ton is placed before the member ship of the churches in it's real colors, when the opportunity for service to youth is stressed in all it's engaging potentialities. that the gentlemen whose work it is to col lect the money will find their bur- dens appreciably frightened and con- sistent success turned into habit.

 One of the most striking examples of this movement is noted the recent that 100000 cot ton spindes will be installed by single manufacturing corporation in Alabama this Instead of placing all these spndles in one locality, they will be distributed among 10 small towns 10000 spindles going to each
 This is only one of many similar movements of indus trial establishments toward the smaller communities but it is the largest single movement of its kind far nounced It should give encouragement to any town, gardess of it's sze where favorable conditions exist for carrying manufacturing enterprise
