Religious Education
Makes Local Beginning
School Board N252. Committee of Conference
With Local Clergy—Board Seems To Feel
Norw elk Children Don’t Get. Enough
Church Influence.
Upon recommendation of Dr. William J. Tracey, a special
committee was appointed at last night's meeting of the Board
of Education to confer with the local clergyman in regards to
religious education in connection with the present school pro-
gram. Dr. Tracey first mentioned the matter, which was heart-
ily approved by the other members of the board.
Committee of Four
Dr. George Fewcett. chairmen of
the board. appointed a committee of
Dr. Tracey. Att‘orney Jesse T. Dun-
bar. Ellsworth Lockwood , and Sa-
perintendent of Schools John Lund.
In introducing the subject. Dr.
Tracey said. "Many children do not
receive a sufficient amount of re-
ligious training. They need the in-
struction now more than ever. It
has been worked out in some towns
very satisfactorily. The pupils spend
one hour e week in their respective
churches for instruction. It has
worked out well in Bridgeport.
White Plains and other piece. I be-
lieve that we should take up the
matter with the clergyman end get
their opinions. Out in lndlane the
average religious instruction is but
if hours a year for each person.
Dr. Tracey put his suggestion in the
form of a motion. which was second-
ed by Mr. Dunbar. Mr. Dunbar said.
"Justice Cropsiey of New York City
said that 06 per cent of the crimi-
nals have had no religious contact."
Superintendent Lundseid that the
success depends upon the co-opere-
tion of tho clergymen. it was point-
ed out that if the children and pe-
rents object to religious training. the
pupils will remain in school for class
work during that period of one
hour instead of bcing allowed to go
to their own place of worship. The
members agreed that the time is
now "ripe for the movement" and
the motion was passed. Dr. Faw-
ceit then appointed the committee
to act upon this matter.
