BY RELIGIOUS
NEWS SERVICE

Sunday school enrolment is
booming to new highs and
churches can hardly keep up
with the demand.
This was reported by religious
education leaders at the 23d In
ternational Sunday School Con-
vention in Cleveland.
They predicted that during the
next 10 years churches may face
an acute problem in obtaining
the classrooms and teachers
needed to cope with the rapidly
expanding Sunday school at
tendance.
Present enrolment in Protes-
tant Sunday schools in the
United States and Canada is
around 80 million. DR.. c. Harry
Atkinson of New York. church
building expert for the National
Council of Churches. predicted
that by the end of this year It
would reach 81 million. He said
the pace Of Sunday school en-
rollment Is three times greater
than the birth rate.
Billion In New Plants
DR.. Atkinson said that dur
ing the next decade 12,500 build
ings will be erected for religious
education purposes at a cost Of
more than a billion dollars. He
added that they viii be light,
airy plants Of modern design,

rooms for handicraft. sound

fractions" Cramped, dingy
church schools are on the way
out, he said.
Another expert said Sunday
schools will have to recruit a.
900 new teachers and add 400
600 classes every week just to
keep pace with the population
growth in the two countries.
DR.. Alcwyn L. Roberts Of Chi
cago, general director Of Chris
tian education for the National
Council Of Churches. made this
forecast.
He said Sunday school enroll
ment is up 122 per cent since
1906, but only 81 per cent Of
the children. "a per cent Of the
youth and IA per cent Of the
adults are being reached.

ton, and the speakers who adj
dressed them. were far from

Maryland, one of IL States
which still executes by hanging,

That was one of 1853 acts of
the 1855 Legislature signed into
law last night by Gov. McKeldin.
He still has 70 bills to act on
before the May 7 deadline. He
has signed TIP so far.
Another important measure
signed was one requiring the use
of voting machines throughout
the State by the 1856 election.
About a third of Maryland's %
counties will have to obtain the
machines by next year under the
act. which the Governor called:
"A truly important advance in
the march of popular sovereignty
in Maryland"
Effective IN 1896.
The bill substituting the gas
chamber for hanging as the
legal means for executing con-
demned criminals in Maryland
will not become effective until
June l. 1856, to give penal Off
Gals time to acquire and install
a chamber at an estimated cost
of $4,000. However, all GRIM

capital crimes committed after

ecuted by the new method, said
to be more humane.
