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

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.'

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

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.
