TEEN TIME CHILI FEED High school stu
dents work hard at a game of "blow ball"
at the Teen Time Chili feed at the First Bap
tist church last Friday evening after the
football same. Approximately 60 students
attended the "feed," first in a series, last
week.
Tonight three Walt Disney cartoons will
be shown during the Teen Time period after
the game. The cartoons will be based on the
sports theme since the socials are designed
to provide activity for students following the
games each week. This week an extra ping
pong table has been obtained as well as an ice
cream fountain which will provide inexpen
sive ice cream dishes and malted milks for
those attending. Teen Time is open to any
high school student in Medford and to the
players and students of the visiting school.
Sponsors this week for the chili feed are
Mrs. James Beams, Mrs. Robert Darnell, Mrs.
Helen Hinseth, and Mrs. William Uhrine.
Cool Air Moves

I ern plains and upper Mississippi
valley into the central plains
and lower lakes region today,
causing temperature drops of
over 20 degrees in some areas.
Scattered showers and thun
derstorms accompanied the push

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"

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

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.
