_ Vacation Bible Schools Planned to Keep ‘ Busy and to Teach Them Some of

“The Little Trades” to Aid War.

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER The Times Church Editor ‘

While Indianapolis mothers and fathers of more than|:

8000 grade school children are at work at their jobs in war industries, vacation Bible schools offer occupation and whole-

some fun to the children.

The abrupt transition from regular, daily attendance at the public schools to no attendance at school at all, is bewildering to the child. With mother away, nowhere to

go and nothing very pressing to do, he finds himself at a loss. : It is this empty-handed feeling combined with a quite idle mind that offers opportunity for the juvenile delinquency causing such consternation at this time. That is why the churches of Indianapolis have been busy for months preparing for the vacation schools and have urged that many more churches tham usual open their ‘doors on week days this summer.

‘Novel School Plan

. ‘One of the most novel vacation schools in the city is to be con- - ducted in the Trinity Methodist church by the Rev, E. P. White, pastor. It was the Rev. Mr. White who conferred recently with city officials and outlined his original idea for an employment bureau for children. The idea, which has been widely publicized in recent days, has been in operation for a month or two at Trinity church, ? Children will be trained in the Trinity vacation school to perform the kind of jobs the church agency can secure for them. For example, this ‘week, the children canvassed the neighborhood and brought in 25 lawn mowers to be sharpened. . But sharpening and cleaning lawn mowers are a small part of the “little trades” they will be taught. They will make and paint simple furniture and offer their services to the neighborhood to run errands, dust, wash dishes and mind the baby for a short while.

“Stagger” Dates

i “Staggering” the dates of the vacaton schools in a community is 2 new plan being tried this summer. To illustrate: the Rev. Mr. White will open his vacation school and continue it for £ month or six weeks ‘when the school in the nearby Ray Street Church of the Nazarene closes July 2. The latter is to begin today. : . As their name implies, the vacation Bible schools will be “Biblecentered.” Colorful stories from the Bible will be told, illustrated with paints and crayon and with dramatics.’ Verses will be committed to memory and the. old hymns of the © church, sung. There will be much handicraft, sewing, clay modeling and the like, worship, games and athletics, ~s The school day is short—from 9:30 to 11 a. m. :

Face Difficulty

- The churches knew they were going to have difficulty in securing leaders for the schools and so they helped recruit. enrollees for the training classes for teachers held throughout the spring. The classes were sponsored by the Marion County Council of Christian education. Miss Nellie C. Young, children’s minister and youth adviser of the Central Christian church, is chairman of vacation schools for the city. On the North side, the Univer-

sity Park Christian church willl"

_ combine with the Capitol Avenue Methodist church and the Grace Church. of the Brethren for a school opening today at University Park and continuing until July 2. . The Tabernacle and Fairview Presbyterian and North Methodist schools wil ‘be in session through July 2 and the Broadway Methodist through July 9.
