The dates' set for the;Vacation
Bible School are July 4. 15 incl
usive..::Perhaps it may :seern
stery:.early to' begin planning ,at
this „date. but many matters are-
. involved. for such . a venture. There
are many decisions to be made,
many • people to be approached;
and .possibilities to be explored
in order to. make this a success.
• The Vacation Bible School
be open •for children from 4 tO 14:.
years of age, divided.into four
age groups. Each age -group will
follow its: own program, consisting
Of .Bible stories, reading and mem
orizing of scripture texts, hymn'
and song time, and'craftwork...

/a, tri.. five days each: week. On
the last day a. final program will
be given for 'the parents and all
who.are:interested in order to
.present, some of the work to the

for teachers. To• do this work sat-
isfactorily at least;one teacher
in, each class will be needed and
at least one helper for every five
students.. A second meeting is
scheduled for the early part of

• next few weeks parents shall re-
' ceive forms which they may .
complete in order that the officials
can estimate the number of books,

order. ' It is hopedthat they may
have some figures before they .
have their next meeting.
