The Daily Vacation Bible School movement w-hlch has come to be so Important an educational factor, was Btarted In Xew- York City in 1901 by Robert G. Boville. of the Xew York Baptist Missionary Socieiy, whose attention w-as drawn to the need of bringing together idle chil¬ dren, idle churches, Idle students and instructors for the welfare of the children of the East Side. .\s an ex¬ periment, to see what could he ac¬ complished by combining these for¬ ces for good, five church buildings opened their doors for Daily Vaca¬ tion Bible Schools, In which manual work, organized play and Bible study Went hand in hand.
These schools w-ere an Immediate luccess and have been repeated and niultiplied every year since the be¬ ginning. In in07 there were nine¬ teen schools In existence with 5000 pupils enrolled.—in 1H21 twenty-flve hundred schools wtth 270,000 pupils enrolled. In Xorthampton county fcurteen schools have now- been pro¬ jected for this summer.
In view of the succesa of these schools elsewhere, the various churches of Xazareth conceived the Idea of organizing a conimunity vaca¬ tion Bible school. Enthusiastic men and women were named on a general committee and through their efforts Volunteer teachers were procured.
It was decided to run the school this year from July 10 to July 21, Omitting sessions on Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 11.,10 a. m. Th« school will meet in the chapel of St. John's Reformed church and Is open to all children whether they tire nfflllated i^^^ With any church or not. I
The originators  ^)f thta  movement i believed  that   the  proi^rain   of     thisj Whool   should   he   broad   enough   to appeal to every Interest of the child, ''or that  reason  tho study    of    the Elhle Is supplemented hy  lessons i-i  ed handwork,   music,    organized *nd health.
