First Place Rating

First Place Rating
Our school paper, The Acorn,
won a first place rating at Colum-
bia Scholastic Press Association
in New York City, where it was
judged along with 1,400 other
school papers from schools all over
the United States. This means that
the Acorn has received at least
$50 points out of a possible 1000.
The highest rating is the Medal
list Award, which is given to only
10 percent of the schools entered
and is taken from the first place
awards. This award is given only
for some distinctive outstanding
qualities.
Each paper is judged on its own
present merits and each paper is
compared with the others in its
own particular classification and
is rated according to its relative
standing with reference to other
entries in its class.
In order to receive the first
place award a paper must have
$50 to 1000 points. A second place
paper must have from $50 to 849
points. A third place paper must
have from $50 to 749 points. A
fourth place paper has below GAS
points.
Papers are judged on makeup
writing technique, content, and
general considerations.
The Acorn staff has set their
goal for the Medalist Award for
next year.

Hoover On The
Sunday School

"Our world is in crisis, writes
John Edgar Hoover, director OF
the Federal Bureau of lnvestiga-
ton. Around the world the forces
of materialism wage an unrelenting
assault upon the things of the
spirit. At home one need only to
look at recent statistics to realize
that we are, in fact, sitting on a
seething volcano of crime" In the
first six months of 1856, 1921 ,120
major crimes were committed which
is a 14.4 percent increase over the
same period in 1855. In over one
thousand cities arrests of those un-
der Is years of age increased 11.4
per cent in 1855.
These warnings and figures are
taken from an article entitled THE
Role of the Sunday School," which
Mr.. Hoover has just written exclu-
sively for The Sunday School Times
(Philadelphia) He speaks of the
Importance of the Ten Command
ments, the teachings of Christ, the
utter futility of atheism, 'The grow
ing scourge of Juvenile delinquen-
cy," and concludes: There is i'm
mense and vital power in the Word
of God 1t is the role of the
Sunday School to disseminate
knowledge of the basic truths upon
which our civilization rests; and
heartily commends the work of the
Sunday School.
Mr.. Hoover's article. with re-
cent picture of the author. will be
published in The Sunday School
Times February %, What he has
to say about the Sunday School
will bring encouragement to all
superintendents and teachers,
