Ice cream was first made in the
City of Baltimore, Md, by a milk
merchant in the year 1852. Some
claim that ice cream was served in
the White House during James Mad
isons administration by his wife,
Dolly Madison, in 1909. But for COM
mercial purposes, Baltimore has the
honor of first place in manufacturing
a refreshment that is second to none
in our great country. In 1926 the
people of the United States cOnsum-
ed 4,50O,O0O,O00 lbs. and year after
year the demand is growing for this
wholesome food.

Sunday School and Public School
! The first Sunday school was start
ed by Robert Raikes of Gloucester,
England, in the year of 1880. Boys
congregating on street corners,
swearing and indulging in rough
games and idleing the Sabbath Day
away prompted Robert Raikes to in
vite the boys in a small building that
he might teach them the word of
God as it is found in the Bible. The
work grew until today its member
ship can be counted by the millions
in every country of the world. The
progress of the work is wonderful.
Many thousands of Sunday schools
throughout the United States are
fully organized with departmental
divisions, with teachers that have
passed State examinations and re-
ceived their diplomas that qualities

Baltimore School is giving to stud
ents, knowledge that will meet their
requirements as they advance to
higher studies and cause them to be
our. best citizens Of tomorrow
Are we as much interested in the
boys and girls that attend our
church schools? Do you believe that
a teacher should be qualified to teach
your boy or girl Christian principles
that will lay the foundation of char
acter and Cody living? Let us help
to raise the standards of our Sun
day schools in organization, in tea
ching and equipment, so that we may
keep pace wit hthe public school.
