Contact Adjustment Easier For Children South Bern!, Ind.-WPU-Chil-dren seem to take to contact lens wearing with more en thusiasm than grownups, Dr. John K. Cassaday, of South Bend, reports in Pediatric Herald, a publication for doctors. "Not only are youngsters comparatively easy to fit," he said, "but they adapt quickly to the lenses and wear them without discomfort." Most children will wear the lenses 10 to 12 hours a day by the end of the third week, the doc tor has found.

THURSDAY, JULY 5. 1962 PAGES 1 to 16 Religion In America 'Shared Time7 Gains Support Of Protestant Church Leaders By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent By ruling prayer out of public schools, the Supreme Court last week spurred Protestants to take a fresh in terest in the "shared time" approach to education. The "shared time" idea was put forward by Dr. Harry L. Stearns, superintendent of public schools at Englcwood, N. J. He proposed that chil dren be allowed to take some courses in public schools and others in the church-related schools. The plan has been widely discussed during the past year by religious leaders. Until now, however, pri mary emphasis has been placed on what "shared time" would mean to Catholics. It has been pointed out that pa rochial school students could attend public schools for in struction in such "neutral" subjects as math, foreign lan guages, home economics, shop and physical education. This would relieve the financial pressure on parochial schools, and give tax-paying Catholic parents the satisfaction of get ting some use out of the pub lic schools they help to sup port. Interests Some Some Protestant leaders have found "shared time'' at tractive as a way of heading off Catholic demands for di rect public aid to parochial schools, which they regard as unconstitutional. But there has been relative ly little discussion of the op portunities which "shared time" would open for Prot estant parents who want their children to receive an adequate religious education. Dr. Stearns had hoped, when he first advanced his idea, that many Protestants would welcome the chance to put their children into rcli gious schools for several hours each day, without going all the way into a system of Prot estant parochial schools. If Protestants haven't shown much interest in this possibility in the past, one reason is that many of them have been clinging to the be lief that children could be given at least a measure of religious orientation In pub lic schools. . Belief Dies The Supreme Court blasted that belief when it ruled, 6-1 that it is unconstiutional for any state to prescribe religi ous exercises in its public schools. The elimination of these widely prevalent "opening ex ercises" may not be any great loss to religious education. It is hard to believe that a child learns much about God from the rote recital of a required prayer or from hearing a fel low student mumble through Agency Established To Survey Hospitals Chicago - (UPD - The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals is an agency established by four organiza tions the American College of Physicians, American Col lege of Surgeons, American Hospital association and the American Medical association.

But prayer and Bible read ing in public schools have had a tremendous symbolic value for many Protestant parents. They have made it possible for parents to per suade themselves that the modest amount of religious training which their children received at home and at Sun day School was somehow be ing "reinforced" by the pub lic school program. Must Face Reality The Supreme Court ruling means that Protestant parents must now face up to reality. And the reality is that the average Protestant child is not receiving much religious education. Even if he attends Sunday School faithfully he gets only about 25 hours of solid instruction a year. Some Protestants have re acted to the ruling by de nouncing the Supreme Court and talking about a Consti tutional amendment to permit public school religious exer cises which parents have found so comforting. Others, however, are al ready looking beyond this kind of emotional response to see what constructive steps the Protestant churches can take to provide children with the kind of religiously orien ted educational experience which is now quite obviously ruled out of the public schools. Two Solutions One solution is to start building a lot of full-time Protestant parochial schools. There was a strong trend in this direction even before the court's ruling and it will doubtless be accelerated now. Another solution is "shared lime." Since most Protestant cnurcnes already nave exten sive classroom facilities which are idle six days a week, they would need only to hire a staff of professional teachers. A curriculum might include English, history and other courses with a high "value" i content, as well as explicitly religious courses, such as Bi ble study. ! Will Protestants adopt this option on a large scale? Prot estant leaders to whom this question was put said they can't tell yet what -the ulti mate answer will be. But there was general agreement that Protestants now have a new and compelling motive for examining the pros and cons of "shared time.''
