Joe Rogers, a minister who has re Protestants Ponder Shared School Time By LOUIS Of United Presi International Protestants are moving, slowly but perceptibly, toward a trial of the ''shared time" plan for church-state cooperation In the education of America's children. The plan would allow a child to share his time between a pub lic school and a church school, taking aome courses in each. Its advocates believe that it of the bitterly divisive controversy over federal aid to parochial schools. They also see it as an answer to the shocking religious illiteracy of millions of children who attend public schools. Although shared time was first proposed by Protestant lead, ers two years ago, it thus far has received a warmer response from Catholics than from Protestants. One experiment in shared launched in the Pittsburgh area, high school are spending part of each day talking technical courses at a nearby public high school. Msgr. John B. McDowell, su perintendent of Catholic schools for the Pittsburgh Diocese, says the arrangement is "working out beautifully." Plans were 'announced last month for a similar experiment Chicago. A new Catholic high school and a new public high school will be built about a block apart It is anticipated that the 1,700 students of the Catholic school will take many 1 of their non-religious courses such as math, science and for eign languages in the public school. Until recently, Protestants seemed content to let Catholics do all of the experimenting with shared time. But at a meet ing in St. Louis last month, the Christian Education Division of the National Council of Churches voted to set up a new department of "Church and Pubhc School Relations. One of its jobs will be to encourage Protestant experiments in shared time education. It is too early to predict what shape these experiments may take. One possibility is that sev eral Protestant churches in a community might pool their re sources to set up a school that could offer courses not only in religion but also in English, his tory, social sciences or other subjects which are deeply in volved with religious values. Providing the physical facili ties for such a school would pre sent no great difficulty. Most Protestant churches already have extensive educational plants for their Sunday Schools, which stand idle during the week. But staffing a weekday church school with professional teachers would take more money than Protestants have been wont to invest in their children's training.

Va. tfl Ships coming out of Newport News, from Polaris submarines to Japanese merchantmen, are linked by at least one thing in common. Each leaves this port city with copies of the Gideon Bible. It began a few years ago when the States Steamship Lines spec ified that the captains' quarters of four passenger-cargo vessels under construction here be sup plied with Bibles. "Knowing I was a Gideon, one of the company officials re ferred the States Lines' request to me," said R. R. Stall, super visor in the hull design training department of the Newport News Ship Building and Dry dock Co. Deluxe editions were provided for the captains' quarters and hotel copies were put in the 13 passenger staterooms of each ship. Stall said that States Lines now advertises, "Gideon Bible in each stateroom." Since that time Bibles have been put on every ship coming out of the yard here, from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise to the latest Polaris submarine. v Another member of the Gid eons here, Lloyd Weaver, has taken it on himself to see that bilingual Testaments are put aboard Japanese merchant ships wnen tney visit the port, said Stall. - Last year 370 bilingual Japan ese Testaments were given away by the local Gideons to Japanese ships.
