"A SCHOOL YOU WILL

the Daily Vacation Bible
Schools. and one with which
Washington children seem to
agree. This year more than
10000 attended the approx
mately 200 schools held IN
this area.
For the grOWnup who is
not familiar with these
schools. they are sponsored
by Protestant churches and
were developed by church
leaders who felt that the
summer vacation period could
be a great opportunity for
constructive Christian teach
ing through purposeful ac-
tivitieS work, study, worship
and play. Children of all de-
nominations and nOnchurCh
members are welcome. Meet
ing each day from 9 to noon
for a period Of from 4 week
to a month. the pupils are
graded according to their
ages. and classes may range
from nursery to junior high
school age.
Regardless Of which de-
nomination promotes them
