One father, while discussing the work of the school, said, "I conâ€" sider the type of ‘instruction and work done in the past five weeks equivalent to one whole year of Sunâ€" day school work." A mother asked if it would be at all possible for the church to conduct a kindergarten throughout the year with similar inâ€" struction to that in the Vacation school. â€" Another mother said she laughed at the first announcement which she received and put it aside. Later she picked it up and as she read it, she became impressed . with the idea and felt it very worthwhile. Later: she said, "I~ am ‘thrilled to know that Sonny can have this sort of experience." Several parents .exâ€" pressed regret that they had not known‘ about the school sooner. As for the children, practically "all of them expressed themselves, "I. have had such a good time andâ€"I arm comâ€" ing again next year."
