The high enrollment will come in 1956 when an expected 173 will enrolL By 1959 the number of children in the first six grades of the school system will total 966. It will be shown that the present number In these tlx grades ia less than 700. Furthermore, the estimated totals of those children who will enter between 1960 and 1963 will increase the 966 total to 991. It is obvious that Decatur schools are to be faced with the problem of providing for many more elementary pupils In the future as compered to thpee enrolled in the past. Higher Level .According to the survey there is apt to be only a slight increase in the number of transfer students from outside the corporation. It was also pointed out that the holding power of the high school is good Mince 75 percent of those who enter high school remain until graduation. Taking these factors into consideration, an estimate of enrollment at the junior and senior high school level was made possible. -*| Also estimated was future kindergarten enrollment. This was done through the census and on the basis that Almost 90 percent of those eligible to attend are entered. Estimated Increase Thia year Decatur schools show an enrollment of 183 In kindergarten, 856 in grades one to eight and 294 In grades nine to 12 for a total of 1333 pupils. The estimated enrollments for 1963-64 are 197 in kindergarten, 1262 in grades one to eight and 500 in grades nine to 12 for a .total of 1959 pupils. These Increases by percentages are eight percent in kindergarten, 47 percent in grades one to eight and 70 percent in grades nine to 12 for a total Increase of 47 percent between 1953 and 1963. How these increases will determine future needs will be described in the next article of this series.

Ir.tomational Undo** School Lmknw EiluatHiuiiiifrtf ii wiM Sariptarei 1 Kings 13:16-33; M:l-M D*v»U«aal R«*4lbc: Psalm Leader Who Felled Leeson tar May t, 1954 IT IS said that at the time of the French Revolution there was one day a tremendous uproar in the streets, of Paris, and an elderly gentleman who had not kept up with the news, inquired what it was. "It sounds like a revolt" said he. "Not a revolt Sire.” was the reply, "—a revolution." A revolt is a revolution that doesn't "click"; a revolution is a revolt

that succeeds. Yet I the success of a I revolution is not | to be measured by | what it accom-1 plishes there and I then. Only as the | years go on can | any man assess a j new movement. I political or any ■

other sort. What Dr. Foreman happened to Jeroboam's revolution, the one the prophet Ahijah had approved and authorized? • • • Success in Hie First Chapter If Jeroboam had had any ghost writers and if they had written up the story of his political coup, they could have made it sound like a tremendous success. Jeroboam himself was young, able, and with immense political sagacity. He was a good organizer, and he was a popular man. As a labor leader under King Solomon he knew how to deal with people and as a political exile in Egypt for many years what he had not learned about the ins and outs of international politics was probably not worth learning. He had succeeded in drawing out of the original united Kingdom of Solomon ten out of the twelve tribes that composed it Population, wealth, opportunity — everything was in his favor, plus the basic fact that a prophet of God was behind the movement to begin with. With God and the people on his side, how could Jeroboam lose? • • o Failure in the Last Chapter When Jeroboam was some years older, a son of his lay very sick, and the king thought again of the prophet AM ah who nad once been his friend. Ahijah could surely tell him whether the child would live. But Jeroboam’s 'queen, at Ahijah's door, met with no welcome. Quite the contrary: the old prophet cursed King Jeroboam and all his house. The revolution which had begun with the blessing of God upon it, ended by incurving the anger of God. x Th« king who had begun with such overwhelming success ended as a failure. If the secession of the ten tribes had proved to be a failure, it was not that there was anything sinful in the idea itself,'but that the revolution had been in Jeroboam’s hands not a means of helping the people but of doing them harm. *... Who Made Israel to Sin." More than one writer in, later times used the same standard formula for this Jeroboam. He is 1 called "Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.” That is a terrible tag to hang on a man; that he is the cause of a nation’s sin. But it was true of this man. What in particular had Jeroboam done, as King of Israel, to "make Israel to sin”? His great sins were two. but they were part of the same policy. It will be remembered that this was shortly after the time of Solomon, and the great temple which Solomon built was still the center of the religious life of all the twelve tribes. When Jerb- < boam engineered his revolution, he ' felt it to be a dangerous thing for I the temple to be in the hands of 1 the Kingdom of Judah up there in Jerusalem. So he organized two other religious centers, at convenient locations. Bethel in the south, Dan in the north; and in these newly appointed "shrine ' cities” he set up gold-plated calves and other animals as the gods of his people. In two ways among others, this was ruinous to right religion, and led to the decay of the nation. • • • Sod Is Not Mocked First this involved the sin of making religion a department of the government. As King, Jeroboam attempted to dictate (and only too successfully) where and how his people should worship. The priests in his shrine cities were political appointees. Religion was 1 subsidized by the state. But worse than that: Jeroboam tied the people down to a crude and cheap kind of religion. For the great invisible God of heaven and earth (see Solomon’s prayer in I Kings 8) Jeroboam substituted gold-plat-ed statues of bulls and he-goats. Debasing religion, he debased his people. Cheap and bad religion will ruin a nation faster than fire ° ar famine. .a. r We learn liberality by crucifying selfishness.

Count Your Blessings By Mrs. James R. Meadows One of the duties of all of us is to recognize our blessings from Almighty God. We have them, and many of them each day. In fact, we have become so accustomed to them that we take them as a matter of course, and grumble if we are deprived of them. It is very easy to feel that we have a right to them, instead of recognizing that they ate the gift of our heavenly Father’s love to undeserving children, and that therefore we ought to be very grateful for them, and do what we can to show dur gratitude. Thankfulness is a duty as well as a blessing, and he who refuses to asknowledge his obligations to his heavenly Father for the blessings of life is undeserving of the. Let us thank Him every day. How thankful we should be that we have the freedom of worship in America today and let us show our appreciation 'Ey - being in the church of our choice next Sunday.
