FOUNDING OF FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL
 CELEBRATED BY RELIGIOUS GROUPS
Associated Press Photo

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Founding of the worlds first Sunday School, among the dirty, rowdy ragamuf- fins of an English factory town by Robert Raikes, British editor, in 1780. is being celebrated this year by religious organizations every where.
 In 150 years the Sunday School idea has grown from the handful of rebelious street gamins gathered in a kitchen in Sooty Alley, Glou- cester, England, until it embraces world enrolment of 37,083,662.
 The United States alone has 2l,- 038 ,526 people in its Sunday Schools of whom 2,167 ,848 are teachers and officers. Nearly half the Ameri- can population under 19 years ot age, or Al percent, attends Sun- day School. Kansas leads with 66.4 percent, while Arizona and Montana are tied for last place with 22.3.
 Sunday Schools have improved in technique as they have grown ir size
 Children now learn the Bible ano it's lessons through plays which they act themselves, stories, hano wopk, drawing, matchmaking anc costuming, explains Dr. Harrison s Elliot, head of the department o1 religious education at Union Teo- logical Seminary.
 The modern Sunday School recog- nizes its responsibility to the pu- pils everyday experience, he points out.
 It deals with such matters as choosing a life work, questions oi conduct and character that crop ur in the child's everyday life.
 Raikes founded his first Sunday School for the children of the pool land criminal classes because he has 1 found it difficult to reform adult criminals.
 1 At first his experiment was op- posed both by the Church of Eng Hand and the government.
 A bill for the suppression Of his school was introduced in Parlia- ment.
 1 Through his newspaper, the Glou- cester Journal, Raikes eventually won support for it.

SANTO DOMINGO. Sept. GA squadron of six Cuban airplanes bearing doctors and medical SUD- plies has landed here.
 United States Marine Corps planes flew here from Port au Prince yesterday and estimated deaths at 4OOO,s 5000 injured and 30,0O0 homeless in the hurricane struck area.
 One Marine Corps officer said it looked as if a giant had smeared the entire country then stirred it up with a stick.p
 The officers of the flying corps said the water works have been demolished and there is no water fit to drink.
 The rivers are seas of mud.
 The dead are unaccountable.
 Floods have washed out the newly buried in cemeteries and cof- fins are floating around like corks.
 The dead are being collected in r:unds and heaps, then burned.
 Wagons were seen with bodies loaded on like cordwood and there is more dead and still more dead everywhere.

SEWARD, Alaska, Sept. 6. - A plan whereby Congress would grant to the Alaska Railroad tracts of coal, mineral timber and agrlcul- tural lands, is under consideration by the Senate Committee which has investigated the railroad. The committee is now enroute to Seat tie on two destroyerS.
 The plan, which was proposed at the final hearing of the committee in Seward, was submitted by former Mayor L. " hay and would pro- vide clear title to the Alaska Rall- road so it could sell, lease or. use in anyway to aid in the upkeep Of the railroad.
 Senators Howell, Kendrick and Thomas were so impressed with the plan that they invited Ray to work out a detailed plan and take 1t to Washington, D. c.
 Indications are that three men, with no real duties, will be dropped from the payroll of the Alaska Railroad and this will save s30,- 900 annually. The committee will also propose, it is said, that the promotion of tourist travel be held to a cost within $3.000 annually and taken from tourist fares re- ceived
