Concerning the vacation Bible school plan a local worker has written as fol- lows: "The idea of the Daily Vacation Church or Bible school is not a new one. Therefore, it may be of interest to parents, especially to those propos- ing to send their children to the Vaca- tion school at Christ church this sum- mer, to learn of the origin and growth of this movement. "In 1901 the Rev. Robert G. Boville, of New York City, whose attention was drawn to the 'need of bringing to- gether idle children, idle churches, and idle students for community welfare on the East Side' organized a Daily Va- cation Bible school. The children met every day for a part of their vacation period, the Bible was taught and hymns learned, games played out of doors, and articles made by hand. "The schools grew in number until in 1907 the National Vacation Bible School committee was formed, and four years later it was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York as the 'daily Vacation Bible School as- sociation." In 1916, it was reorganized as the 'International Association of Daily Vacation Bible Schools.' Made Notable Strides "The following are some of the actual achievments of the world association : Fifteen provinces in China have strong D. V. B. S. organizations. 3,000 schools to be opened in 1925. D. V. B. S. has been organized in Corea during the past two years and 100 schools conducted in 1924 with 800 students and 12,000 chil- dren enrolled. Work in Japan founded and or- ganized. Work in Mexico on a scale developed: Work in France founded and suit- able literature provided. Work in Bulgaria at Phillipop- olis started and a Slavic teacher's manual prepared. national "There are over 500,000 children at- tending Vacation Bible schools in this country and the schools have proved successful in all sorts of communities and among all kinds of children. Their universality is great proof of their suc- cess in the future. "In near-by' Evanston there will be at least six Daily Vacation Church Schools in session this summer. "So the children of the community who attend the Vacation School at Christ Church this July can feel that children all over the world are inter- esting themselves in activities similar to their own." Playfield Golfers May Now Secure Their Tags Tags have been secured by Sanborn Haic. creasurer of the Winnetka Park board for distribution among members of the Playfield Golf association which utilizes the Playfield course in the Skokie, supervised by the Park board. Mr.. Hale is anticipating a lively bus- iness in the disposal of the tags within the next few days since the course is in tip-top shape and prospective Play- field "bugs" are going out in numbers to try their skill at the ancient and hon- orable pastime It is essential that Playfield players have tags, which, at a nominal fee, afford the privileges of the course and all its facilities. The tags may be ob- tained at Mr. Hale's offices in the Win- netka State Bank. Chicago Bar Association Elects William C. Boyden While he was in the East attending the Harvard commencement William C. Boyden, 725 Pine street, was elected first vice president of the Chicago Bar association at the annual election of officers of that famous organization this week. Russel Whitman of Evans- ton was elected president. Mr. Boy- den ran far ahead of his ticket, in spite of the fact that he was not there and had been away for several days before the election. Contrary to custom, there was a "bolshevik" ticket in the field this year, but it was beaten by the "conservative" party. Mr. Boyden was second vice president of the organization last year.
