BACK THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ALFRED P. HAAKE
"Readin', writin' and 'rithme
tic" are still the bases of educa
tion. And we go to school to
learn them. Many parents could
equip their children with the es
sentials of education, but the
job would not be so well done,
and in many instances would not
be done at all. Education is so
important to living that we even
have laws requiring children to
go to school until they have cam
pleted the rudiments of educa
tion contained in the eight
grades.
No less important than the
training of the intellect in the
day school is the inculcation of
sound moral principles and de
veloped capacity for spiritual
life in the Sunday School. Reli
gion is the most -basic of all in
gredients in building character,
and character is the keystodne of
civilization.
That is why bo many thought
ful parents send their children
to Sunday school. It is lust as
important to train children in the
basic concepts of religion and
morals as it is to teach them to
feed and clothe themselves. And
the Sunday School is the best and
most effective place to give them
that training.
A nation whose children are
well-schooled in the great reli
gious principles that underlie
right living is far more likely to
endure through the ceaseless cor
rosions of self-indulgence, igno
ranee and careless living. The
Ten Commandments and the two
gTeat Commandments of the
Great Teacher, in whatever langu
age or place they may be taught
and implemented, are the surest
antidote to the great tide of ma
terialistic atheism sweeping over
the world today.
We pay tribute to the Lay
man's National Committee for
its year after year emphasis up
on the importance of the Sun
day School in our national life.
New Hampshire we offer con
gratulations and thanks fo car
rying the responsibility of Chair
man of National Non-Sectarian
Sunday School Week, April 9 to
April 15. For him and his com
mittee throughout the nation we
urge the coperation of lay and
religious leaders everywhere.
In these days of easy morals
and complacent neglect of prin
ciple for the less exacting pur
suit of expedients, the Sunday
School is more important than
ever. It is true that some teach
ers are not as well -equipped and
trained as they should be, but

the great band of earnest souls
who love truth and their fellow
men enough to sacrifice their
time and energy on what must
often seem a thankless task fully
deserve the appreciation and
loyalty of the millions of fath
eiis and mothers whose children
have the precious privilege of at
tending Sunday School.
To those parents whose boys
and girls attend Sunday School
irregularly or not at all, we urge
a renewal of interest in this vi
tal adjunct to your home training.
Let's send them all or take
them all to Sunday School this
week and througt the weeks that
follow. Let's give the Sunday
School a real opportunity. Dis
cuss with your children what they
have learned, and even learn
those lessons yourself. Adult
classes in the Sunday School are
excellent training opportunities
for lay leadership nn the church
world.
Let's lay another foundation
stone for the future moral
strength of our nation by send
ing Johnny and Molly to Sun
day School this week. And may
the swelling lists of boys and
girls registered in Sunday Schools
all over the land, in all denomi
nations, creeds and faiths, build
a monument to the awakening
interest and appreciation of Am
erica for the timeless importance
of helping our youth to become
aware of God.

The school board of District 35
accepted the resignations of Alan
Robertson and Mrs. Mclntyre
with regret, at a special meeting
April 2. Both teachers have had
fine relations with the school and
community but desire to go else
where for reasons beyond the
control of the local board.
Mr. Robertson will devote his
full time to instrumental music
in a larger school. Mrs. Mclntyre
has personal reasons for other
plans. The board and administra
tion thank them for their services
and coperation in the past and
wish them well elsewhere.

Wranglers Spend
"Fool's" Day on
First Spring Ride
It may have been April Fool's
day to some but to the Wrang
lers, Morrow county riding club,
it was an auspicious opening of
the 1951 riding season.
About 30 riders saddled up and
rode up Balm Fork, turning off
into Soukup canyon to a very
suitable picnic site on the Ralph
Beamer land where he had pre
pared a convenient fireplace. Cof
fee was quickly served. A num
ber of cars brought the rest of
the Wranglers to join the horse
hair fanning section for lunch.
The rideis again took to the
hills where buttercups and yel
lowbells were still shining along
the hillsides, although snow was
still in evidence here and there
in the gullies. Single file was
the procedure down the steep
ranch. A clear stream of rushing
water made a picturesque scene
between the two high bunch
grass hills, which in places were
quite marshy. Crossing the bridge
at the Ferguson place the cara
van headed down Willow creek
road, which was much easier tra
veling, and on into the home
corrals.
The youngest riders making
the 15 mile trip and keeping up
with the seasoned veterans were
Kit and David George, riding
their own mounts and in David's
case using his arms as often as
the pony did its legs.
All thoroughly enjoyed the
ride and those not joining in
missed something only a spring
ride off the beaten trails can of-
