if . BALLOONS AWAY Mora than 125 soaring helium-filled balloons released by the Sunday School children at Klamath Lutheran Church climaxed the annual Rally Day observance last Sunday, Each balloon was tagged with a return postcard giving the child's name and a blank for the finder to state where the balloon was found. On Oct. 13, prizes will be awarded to the Sunday School children whose balloons sailed the greatest distance. To date, several cards returned to the church show that some of the soaring objects made their way to the Mills Addition. Sunday School Classes For Adequate Religious By LOUIS CASSELS ' United Press International .-You can't expect a child to: learn much about the Chris tian faith in a class which meets for half an hour a week. This hard truth is slowly Im pressing itself on the millions of families who rely on Sunday school to provide all or most of Die religious training winch Men- children receive. The traditional Sunday school session is one hour long. But at least half of the 'time is taken up with a worship assembly, shuffl ing through hallways to class rooms, taking the roll, making .announcements and other things ;that have little to do with ays- . tematic Instruction. -: What this means is stated suc cinctly by the Rev. Robert F. Parker of Philadelphia, a Chris tian education specialist of the Lutheran Church in America. "A young person spends more time in one year studying arith metic than he spends in five years o Sunday school classes," says the Rev. Mr. Parker. Not Important Enough Under these circumstances he finds it hardly surprising that ''Christian traunng and experi ence gradually retire to a dusty corner of the childs thinking.' . A variety of efforts are under LENORE D. HANKS Public Talk Set Tuesday "Who are you?" is the question to be explored in a public talk by Lenore D. Hanks, a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, on Tuesday, Sopt. 17, Sponsored by the local First Church of Christ, Scientist, Mrs Hanks will speak at 8 p.m. in . (he (Fremont School Auditorium, 715 Iliph. Her theme will be man's discovery of his spiritual identity tinder God, with the lecture entitled, "Do You Know Who You Really Are?" Mrs. Hanks is a native of Port land and was graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in sociology. Her father helped (o establish Portland's . First Church of Christ, Scientist, which she has attended since childhood. Appointed to Ute Christian Sci ence Board of Lectureship in June, Mrs. Hanks has been an authorized teacher and practition er of Christian Science for the past several years.

TU 1-4404 way in major Protestant denomi nations to provide more time for religious education. One possibility is to lengthen the Sunday morning session. The Episcopal Church has recom mended a minimum of 90 min utes, and the United Presbyterian Church is urging all of its con grcgations to allocate at Jcast 75 minutes for Sunday school. But religious educators see lit tle hope for a major break through in this direction. Pastors. find it difficult to lit a long Sun day school session into a morn ing schedule which is already complicated, in many cases, byl the necessity of holding two adult worship services. And parents especially those who regard Sun day school as an intrusion on their "morning to sleep are often unenthusiastic about longer sessions. More Promising Trend A more promising trend, which has been developing in recent years, is to supplement Sunday school with one or two hours of church school" on a weekday. Sometimes this is done through Presbyterial Plans Made The First iPrcsbytcrian Church will host the fall meeting of the Southwest Presbyterial on Wed nesday, Sept. 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Churches in Tulclake, Merrill, Alalin, Lakevicw, and Klamath Falls will be represent ed at the meeting. According to Mi s. Frances Mil ler, district president, the guest .speaker at the afternoon session will be Mrs. Andrew Collier of Klamath Falls. Recently returned irom a tour of Ethiopia and other African points, Mrs. Collier will present a program of slides and discuss the Presbyterian missions tlicro. The Presbyterial meeting, which will emphasize fellowship, will in clude class periods when the new material for next year's pro gram will be distributed. Reservations for the noon lunch eon should be made no later than Monday, Sept. 16, by contacting the church office, TU 4-7781.

TO 1-0174, 1-4S7 You Are Cordially Invited To Worship With Ut Too Brief Education schools whereby children are re leased early at their parents' re quest. This is called "released time" and the Supreme Court has ruled that there is nothing unconstitutional about public schools cooperating with churches in this way. No one has any reliable statis tics on the number of chil dren now attending weekday re ligious classes. The National Council of Churches guesses that of the 30 million school age chil dren enrolled in Protestant Sun day schools, -perhaps 4 million re ceive some weekday religious in struction. The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, which pro vides religious classes for Catho lic children attending public schools, estimates that about 3.5 million are under instruction in its classes, which usually meet either on a weekday or on Satur day morning. Additional Summer Training Still another way to supple ment the inadequate time span of Sunday school Is to provide in tensive religious educational ex periences during the summer I This year more than 100,000 Prot eslant churches conducted "vaca Ition church schools" or "vacation Bible schools." - These summer schools usually are in session for three hours a day, five days a week, for two to four weeks, They provide more time for sys tematic religious training than is available during a whole year of Sunday school classes. The Con fraternity of Christian Doctrine also conducts "summer schools! of religion" for Catholic children. The consensus of Protestant and Catholic officials who are working with the problem is that adequate time for religious edu cation of public school children can be found if their parents really want it enough to give it at least as high a priority as mu sic and dancing lessons, den tal appointments and their own Saturday morning golf games.
