The interest in daily vacation
Bible schools, which has developed
very materially the pas year, is
due in no small measure to the Port
land council of churches, which
through its department of religious
education of which A. F. Bittner
is chairman, has conducted train
ing institutes for Bible school
workers for the past two years. The
school this year was held May 22
and. 23 In the church house of the
Centenary Wilbur Methodist church
with an attendance- of approxi
mately 100. This proved espeoially
helpful to those churches holding
vacation schools for the first time,
of which there is a large number
this year.
In some sections of the city the
churches are uniting and will use
the school buildings as Arleta, Fail
ing, Shattuck and Buckman schools,
representing the Mt Scott, south;
Portland, central west side and cen
tral east side districts, respectively.
In other Instances individual
churches will assume the whole
responsibility of the school, as is
the case with the Montavilla, Lents,
Highland, University Park, Glencoe
and East Side Baptist which latter
will conduct a school at the Tab
ernacle mission. . The Rose City
Park and Montavilla Methodist
churches will conduct their own
schools, while several others of the
Methodist churches will Join in the
union schools as will also at number
of the Presbyterian churches, except
the Hope, Unity and Westminster
churches, which have planned in
dividual schools.
Some of these schools will begin
on Monday the 19th, while others
will wait until after the Rose Fes
tival and begin on the 26th. Most
of the schools will hold sessions
each morning except Saturday and
Sunday for three weeks and it Is
anticipated that the enrollment will
greatly exceed that of last summer. ,
Preparations have been made to ac
commodate all those who attend and
volunteer workers have been .en-,
listed who will have charge of the
different departments from the kin
dergarten to the eighth grade. It
Is hoped that the parents will ap
preciate this opportunity and have
their children present on the open
ing day.

"a collection of dogmas." is the ideal
seen by the convention leaders. They
urge Christian leadership in Dopular
music and restoration of the drama

session are to be devoted to consid
eration of the report of the com
mittee on religious education.

port expected to be present are

tor of the school of religious educa
tion of Boston university; Professor
Luther A. Weigle, chair of educa
tion, Yale . university; Dr. W. E.

tist board of publication (north);
