Ford, one of the worlds most ar

ty," looked into the future today
and asserted that the next decade
would bring more progress, socially,

many past generations. 1t would
bring also, he said, "a wider under
standing of the avarice and greed

cation of the benefits of education,

Six months ago the 76-year-old

he said there still is an "artificiality'
about the war that would lead "any

BIBLE COURSES
HELD VALUABLE
MINIS Superintendent Says
Special Study Exerts
Wholesome Effect
By THOMAS T. HAMILTON, JR.
Principal, New Hanover High School

The introduction of a course in
Bible at New Hanover High school
this year has met with enthusiastic
response, not only among those en-
rolled in the class but also from
those members of the student body
coming under the wholesome influ-
ence of its teachings.
Numerous voluntary expressions
have come from the students. In
every instance these expressions
have been in strong support of the
project. Young people in the Bible
classes testify that the study has
been of great value to them in the
development of Christian characters
These b VS. and girls tell us that
they have been taught to love GOO
more and to appreciate more than
ever the value of prayer.
They also claim to nave acquired
la greater appreciation for the stan
dard Of honesty as it should be ap.
piled in school and in their respec'
tive communities. Many tell US that
they have become more interested
and active in their respective
churches and have become more
conscious of the needs of their fel.
low students and more DESTROYS of
lending a helping hand. These Bible
students want the school to assist
in providing for the education of
children in due reverence for God
and faith in God.
The course in Bible study at New
Hanover High school has been en-
tirely optional. The teaching of the
course has been absolutely non-sec-
tartan. The textbook used has been

definite detectives in mind: the
