Weekday Religious Education Classes To Attract 3 Million Br LOUIS CASSELS United Prss Correspondent Washington U.R) Church officials reported today that more than 3 million public school students will be enrolled this fall for weekday religious education courses. The courses are being offered in 3.000 communities in 45 states on a "released time" basis which the Supreme Court has found consistent with the constitution al requirement for separation of church and state. They are designed to supple ment the one hour a week of re ligious instruction which the average child receives in Sun day school. In addition, the weekday classes reach many thousands of children who have never attended Sunday school. Enrollment At New High Although this fall's enrollment is the largest in the history of the 42-year-old "released time" UNITY TRUTH CENTER Sunday Devotional Service and Sunday School for Children 1 1 a.m. Pequlaf Center Activities: Thursday Midweek Service 7:30 p.m., Friday morning Study Class 11am. All classes, activities and Sunday Services now held at the HOLLY BUILDING Kathenne Bosworth, Leader program, church leaders point out that it represents only about one-tenth of the nation's total public school population of 32, 653.000. "Large communities still are I not exercising their right to con I duct religious training during j school time," said Dr. Erwin L. I Shaver, director of weekday re ligious education for the Nation al Council of Churches. "There is steady but moderate growth in the movement across the coun try. Much more ought to be done." Briefly, this is how a typical weekday religious education pro gram works: A church, or a group of churches, provides classrooms (which must be off public school property) and a staff of paid or volunteer teachers. All expenses, including transportation of the children, must be borne by the sponsoring religious organiza tion so that no public tax funds are involved. Public schools then may co operate, under terms of a 1952 Supreme Court decision, by re leasing students from their regu lar class work for an hour or MISSIONARY TO SPEAK Wayne Tumbull. missionary from the Dominican Republic, will speak at the midweek serv ice at the Bethel Assembly of God church, 1729 North River side, Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 7:30 p.m. more each week to attend the re ligious classes. Parents must sign a card re questing that their children be released. Children without such authorization from their parents remain in public school class rooms to take elective courses or do review work. Church Schools Needed Why are such school needed? Church leaders cite several rea sons including these: 1. The short instruction ses sion of the average Sunday school does not allow nearly enough time for a child to learn the fundamentals of religion. And home training, which ideal ly supplements the Sunday school, is not always very effec tive, especially if the parents themselves are unfamiliar with the subject matter. 2. Religion must be identified in the child's mind with the weekday as well as Sunday. Pro viding religious instruction dur ing "school time" counters the idea which many children get that religion must not be very important since it is the one sub ject that is never taught and rarely mentioned in public school. 3. Weekday church schools have proved they can attract large numbers of children who are not reached by any other agency of religious education. Many of these children and their parents have been brought into active church life through par ticipation in weekday courses. .4 Friday.
