Early Day Preachers
 Fought Losing Battle
Registered Strong Protests Against Sunday Schools
 I6O,43O Protestant Units Now in Existence

White, who sold 1t to civic minded Philadelphians on an interdenom- national basis when his church kept delaying action. The first school was actually opend in l79l by the First Day or Sabbath Scnool Society" ..
 The Philadelphia school met for five hours each Sunday, before and after worship services in the churches, and taught lessons and reading from the Bible as well as the ordinary educational subjects of regular schools.
 Other cities rapidly followed Philadelphia in establishing the Sunday schools, although this was the period in which there was most opposition. Because of this church protest most of the early schools where found in other public or private buildings.
 Anti-SchOOI Pledge
 Tn one large Southern city the International Council found O. church had been erected with pledges taken on condition the building would never be used for Sunday schools.
 As the movement spread denom- national leaders saw the advantage of taking the schools into the church and from that time the churchmen have supported the Sum day school movement as their out standing means of religious educa- ton.
 The churches dropped the teach. ing of general educational subjects and soon supplanted the scripture memorization plan with lesson plans and discussion periods.
 As the attendance grew, more adequate facilities had to be pro- vided and the Sunday school move ment is credited with changing church architecture from the the ater plan to the school plan, which provides separate class rooms.
 The need for planning and leader ship led to the formation of many conventions and conferences. Sue. ceedig ones grew with authority and power until in 1922 the Inter national Council of Religious Edu- cation was reorganized to take in three separate organizations. Today this council operates exclusively in the field of religious education and represents 10 Protestant denomina- tions and serves over 90 per cert of all Professionalism in the United States and Canada.

Chicago, H., Oct. 2-Its be- lieye 1t or not item, but the strong est opponents of Sunday schools in the early days were-preachsrsl
 History shows that majority of churchmen opposed the first Sab bath schools in America, passing their opposition on the assertion that Sunday school made unholy use of church property and Of the sabbath. Then, too, 1t must be re- membered that the first Sunday schools weren't particularly for re- liCious education but were for gen. eral education of the poor children,
 The church opposition, however, failed to kill the movement, trans planted here from England, and to- day the Sunday schools furnish the largest field for Christian education that American churches support. Tn fact A national Religious Education Weew is being observed by the l6O,- 430 Protestant Sunday schools, sept 2S to Oct. 5,
 First School
 American Sunday school history starts with the founding of the first school in the l780's, the Interna- tional Council of Religious Educa- ton reports. Later, the movement was given impetus and the purpose changed more to religious instruc- ticn when the states began to ban religion from the schools and the churches were faced with the re- sponsibility of teaching Christianity to the children.
 Early American schools were pat termed after the achievements of Robert Raikes in Gloucester, Eng land. Raikes, generally credited with being the founder of the Sunday school movement, went to the aid of underpriviledged children with a school on Sundays to teach the usual three R's and fourth, religion.
 Although never linked with Raikes, William Elliott in l785 established a Sunday school in Accoma county, Virginia, for white boys and girls in his charge, with like provisions for his regro slaves. All were taught the rudiments of reading as well as the catechism. When q church was organized nearby, the school con- tinued under It's care and survives today.
 Tn i78a the Raikes movement was brought to the United States by a young minister, the Rev. William

The work Of two Catholic credit unions in Waterbury, those of St. Oecilla's church and of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, are cited in an article on "The Credit Unions Spread Among Connecticut Parishes" in the current issue of America, weekly periodical of news and opinion.
