Education Day in Washington

By W. E. H.

THE following reports have been handed in by persons who were present at the services.

At the Takoma Park Church

Education Day was observed at the Takoma Park church with appropriate services. Brother E. R. Palmer, manager of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, presided, and offered fervent prayer for the blessing of heaven to rest upon our children and young people, and upon our educational work. The first readings were presented by Prof. J. L. Shaw, General Conference Educational Secretary. Prof. C. C. Lewis, principal of the Fireside Correspondence School, followed with the remaining readings. These readings made a strong presentation of what our church schools are doing, what is being done for them, and what remains to be done. Marked attention was given to the readings, and a deep impression was made.

At the Memorial Church

At the Sabbath morning service in Memorial Church, the program outlined in the magazine Christian Education was carried out. The readings were listened to with close attention as the cause of our children's education was earnestly pleaded by the readers. The church elder, Prof. M. E. Olsen, gave a stirring talk on what it means to conduct a successful church school, and urged the holding of parents' meetings once a month, and the frequent visiting of our church school in Takoma Park, where a number of children from Memorial Church attend. It is hoped that by another year this church may have a school of its own.
