CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM

”One of the most characteristic features of American Protestantism is the Sunday School*

Vistors to our country are

struck by the universality of this institution and the emphasis placed upon it*

For many years it has enjoyed a steady and at

times a spectacular growth* In recent years, however, the Sunday School has entered upon evil times*

When Walter S* Athearn made the Indiana Survey

of Religious Education in 1920 he found that approximately 90 per cent of the children were lost to the Sunday School during the 11teen” age*

He says:2

In the Indiana Sunday schools, by the fourteenth year, 25 per cent of the boys are eliminated 5 by the eight­ eenth year, fully 75 per cent; and by the twenty-second year 92 per cent* With the girls it is probably that only 12 to 15 per cent are eliminated-at the age of llj 61 per cent at the age of 18; and 88 per cent when the age of 22 is reached• In other words, out of every twelve boys in the Sunday school at eleven years of age, at least 3 have dropped out by the age of fourteen, 9 by the age of eighteen, end 11 by the age of twenty-two* In the case of the girls, out of every eight girls at twelve years of age, 1 has dropped out by the age of fourteen, 5 by the age of eighteen, and 7 out of 8 by the age of twenty-two •

^•Revin C* Earner, Factors Related to Sunday School Growth and Decline in the Eastern Synod of the Reformed Church in the United States; p. 1 ^Walter &* Athearn, The .Indiana Survey of Religious Education, p* 295

2 These figures are conservative rather than the contrary since even they would be justified "only in a community with a stationary popu­ lation*

In a growing community there is a constant recruiting of

pupils at the different ages, which tends to conceal the dropping out of pupils; while in a community which is decreasing in population the Sunday school appears to have an abnormal loss of pupils*" This was verified by Walter Albion Squires who concludes that We must not congratulate ourselves too highly on the fact that more than sixty per cent of all additions to the Church are brought in by means of the Sunday school • Our exultation in this matter might prove to be a good deal like the exultation of a schoolboy over the fact that he received a mark-of forty per cent in an examination in which another schoolboy received twenty per cent.^ He illustrates what he means by this statement by referring to a study in which Of the children three years of age, fifteen per cent were enrolled in the Sunday school, or other religious educa­ tional agencies* Thirty-three per cent of the children four years of age were enrolled in some religious educa­ tional organization* It will be noted that in this par­ ticular town the churches were not succeeding in getting in one half of the children until the age of ten. From ten to twelve they were holding one half of them, or a little more; but beyond twelve they were holding less than half. The Sunday schools and other educational agencies of the city were reaching something like forty per cent of the children and youth of the community. Studies in other places would seem to indicate that this would be a generous estimate for the country as a whole. Some have estimated that in New York City not more than twenty-five per cent of the children and youth are receiving any religious•instruction

^ Loo* pit* “ 4 Walter A. Squires, The Week Day Church School, p. 69 5 Ibid., p. 60

Much the same condition was found to exist in Los Angeles County when a survey was made by. Claude W. Young

in 1928*

His

findings were as follows: The maximum age of enrollment and attendance in the Sunday schools was found to be at 10 years of age* We find that more boys than girls are enrolled between the ages of 6 to 1$ years, the maximum number being at the age of 10 years* Beyond the age of 10 years, the girls outnumber the boys in enrollment, the maximum being at the age of 13 years* It is further noticed that by the 12th year 27*7 per cent .are eliminated; by the 15th year 40*1 per cent are eliminated; and by the 19th year 77*2 per cent are eliminated. Less than one-fourth are retained in the Sunday schools of Los Angeles County during the “teen” age* Other figures of interest (whether valid or not) are found constantly in the various religious periodicals*

Dr* A. S* London

says,7 In six years there were 500,000 Sunday school pupils lost to the rolls, and fewer pupils are now in the Sunday schools of our country than there were twenty years ago* From 75 per cent to 90 per cent of the population of our towns and cities are unchurched* 30.000 church doors have been closed in the past 12 months. 1.000 rural churches are now being closed every year. The above figures would indicate that not only is there a

loss of interest with respect to the individual (who consequently drops out of Sunday school) but that there is a general trend away from Sunday school in the country at large.

This is still further

suggested by the following statements? .

a-«'•

There are 75*000*000 men* women and children in our land who never go to church or Sunday School.8 There are 53*000,000 youth in the United States— 36*000*000 of which are absolutely un-Sunday s c h o o l i z e d j 9 Only seven per cent of the population of New York are affiliated ,with any church.10 The whole trend both individual and national is summarized by the following Table collated from publications of the Department of Commerce?

5 This clearly shows that while the population of the United States jumped from ninety-one to one hundred five to one hundred twenty-two to one hundred thirty-one million people the Sunday school enrollment has actually decreased approximately three million people so that now slightly less than 14 per cent of the population is enrolled.

Importance of the Study, H¥hen

one considers that from 60 to

85 per cent of

all additions to the church are brought about pri­

marily through

the Sunday school^; that a9S% of the ministers of

the gospel and other full time salaried Christian workers have held membership in these schools”

and that approximately 10% of the

church’s contact with the community is made possible through this channel-^ one realizes the importance of any study that would con­ tribute toward

the efficiency of the administration of the Churchschool.

Approach to

the Problem.

The following studies

of attitudes

on the part of certain High School students of the City of Los Angeles to religious education do not explore a new field, but rather attempt a new approach to an old field. The most nearly related work in this field has been done by

14

^

Squires, op, cit., p. 22

22

Professors L. L. Thurstone and E. J* Chave of the University of Chicago who have developed a psychophysical method with experiments and scales for measuring attitudes toward the church.

The method of

the following studios is that of a summarization of reactions to specific statements regarding the program of religious education rather than a statistical evaluation ofopinions about the church. Thus it was the purpose of this study (l) to discover the comparative number of high school students attending Sunday school (the term Sunday school is used— rather than that of Church school since it was found to be the term in common usage) for the various grades, together with the relative strength of the various churches represented; (2) to find why certain high school students do or do not attend Sunday school; (3) to obtain suggestions for the improve­ ment of the organization and administration of the Sunday school from the standpoint of high school students.

Validation.

Since this is a questionnaire study, we recog­

nize the following limitations s 1.

Limitations resulting from unconsciously incomplete responses

due to the operation of factors of which the subject was not con­ scious and which would direct certain of his reactions toward the Sunday School. 2* Limitations resulting from conscious or unconscious ration­ alization and other related mechanisms. 3* Limitations resulting from the bias of questions stated in a professional language.

7 4* Limitations resulting from the differences of administration among the various denominations. 5. Limitations resulting from conscious falsification. 6* Limitations resulting from a general lack of interest which would cause an inconsistency in checking.

CHAPTER II

METHOD OP PROCEDURE AND SOURCES OF DATA

This study grew out of a similar previous study conduoted in the Sunday schools of sixteen urban and semi-urban churches of the City of Los Angelas^.

"While much valuable information was obtained

at that time, it was felt that the results were not conclusive since the questionnaires reached only those who were attending Sunday school who, necessarily, must be fairly well satisfied* A new questionnaire

o

was therefore prepared based not only

upon the findings of this previous study, but using also the results of another sludy made in 1931 by Harold Freer

3

in which essay res­

ponses to certain related questions were listed in the order of their importance. Three thousand of these two-page questionnaires were administered to the students of the John C. Fremont High School of Los Angeles^.

This was done in the class rooms under the pressure

of the group and in the presence of the teacher. were, “These questions are self-explanatory.

METHOD OF PROCEDURE:

The responses in this case were grouped

according to church membership and tabulated.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS;

Sixty-seven per cent of the subjects

studied are connected with a church, but only fity-four per cent of these attend Sunday School regularly.

The Roman Catholic Church is

the most influential of the churches reported.

SPECIFIC FINDINGS: 1» The Table for Number of Attendants includes reports from twenty-three separate churches, but only nineteen of these were suf­ ficiently large to allow for statistical treatment. 2m Of the two thousand two hundred and seventy-two subjects studied, only one thousand five hundred and forty (or 67*7%) have any connection with the church and many of these either do not attend Sunday School or do so only irregularly.

* See Appendix D for Raw Data

11 3. In the community served by the John C. Fremont High School, 54.0 per oent of the church members attend Sunday School every Sunday; 29.0 per oent of the church members attend Sunday School irregularly; and 17.1 per cent of the church members do not attend at all. 4. The total membership for each church (Baptist, 254; Catholic, 440; etc.) provides a relative index of its influences on the religious-educational life of the community— but only a relative one inasmuch as many of the members listed do not attend at all or only irregularly.

In order to hrrive at an approximate index of the

relative influence of the various churches on the community, the percentage of attendance was multiplied by the total membership (e.g. 42.5 x 254 for the Baptist church).

The rank order of churches,

according to their relative influence as determined by this index is as follows:

Catholic, 20,240; Christian, 10,976; Baptist, 10,695;

Methodist, 4,386; Mormon, 3,381; Lutheran, 3,320; Christian Scientist, 2,580; Nazarene, 2,205; Presbyterian, 1,995; Interdenominational, 1,404; Four Square, 1,392; Brethren, 1,296; Pentecostal, 1,200; Mennonite, 1,001; Congregational, 1,001; Hope Reformed, 1,000; Episcopal, 504; Jewish, 320; Greek Orthodox, 99. It will be noticed that number of churches having a smaller membership yet exert a greater influence on the community because of the faithful and at times enthusiastic attendance of its membership. 5. The influence of a given church on the individual is in­ dicated by the percentages of attendance or non-attendance. some churches have a high percentage of members who come only

CHAPTER IV

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH AND STUDENT ATTENDANCE AT SUNDAY SCHOOL*

INFORMATION SOUGHT: 1. Does your mother attend church?

Regularly? Irregularly?

Not at all, except for special days? 2. Does your father attend church?

Regularly? Irregularly?

Not at all, except for special days? 3. How often do you attend Sunday School? Twice a month? and Easter?

Irregularly?

Every Sunday?

On special church days as Christmas

Not at all?

PURPOSE: To discover the relative importance of parental behavior on the child in the matter of attendance on religious services*

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: 1* There is a decrease in population attending Sunday school regularly as the students progress through the grades (See row totals of Tables II and IV(page 18 and 22)*

However, while

there is only

a slight decrease in the case where both parents attend church there is a marked decrease where parents do not attend (See columns of Tables II and IV).

★ S e e Appendix E for Raw Data

15 2* There is a pronounced progressive decrease in attendance in direct proportion as the attendance of the parents decreases (See rows of the above Tables— reading from Both Regularly and Never)*

STATISTICAL FINDINGS; 1. A total of 1,889 cases were studied of which 790 were boys and 1,099 were girls*

Of the boys, 109 had parents both of whom

attend church regularly, 150 had parents one of whom attends church regularly, 252 had parents of whom one or both attends church irregularly, and 279 had parents neither of whom attends church at all*

Of the girls, 126 had parents who both attend church regularly,

171 had parents one of whom attends church regularly, 375 had parents of whom one or both attends church irregularly, and 427 had parents neither of whom attends church at all.

These eight groups were each

segregated into sophomore, junior and senior classes to check de­ crease in attendance by age or class in school* 2* Prom the column totals of Table II (See page 19) it appears that when one compares: i* Both parents regular with one regular the ratio of children attendance is 1*341 (for boys who attend every Sunday). ii* Both parents regular with one or both irregular, the ratio of child attendance is 4.00* iii.

Both parents regular with neither parent attending, the ratio

of the child attendance is 6*36. This means that in the most extreme case (iii above) there

16 were more than six times as many children in the Sunday school both of whose parents attend church regularly as there were of those children neither of whose parents attend church. To carry this comparison furthers iv.

One parent regular with one or both irregular, the ratio of

child attendance is 2.98. v. One parent regular with neither parent attending, the ratio of child attendance is 4.75. vi. Both parents irregular with neither parent attending, the ratio of child attendance is 1.59. A similar comparison may likewise be made among the column totals for all the percentage tables included in this chapter. 3. While the above implies that parental behaviour influences the childs behaviour to a marked degree, the P. value rendered by the Chi Square statistic (with 11 degrees of freedom) tells us that we would expect such results fewer than one time in several hundred if there were no outside influences (e.g. the effect of parental be\ 1 haviour, etc.) influencing the data.

4. To obtain a more complete and accurate picture of these trends, the relative values for both those pupils who attend every Sunday and those who do not attend at all were compared.

When this

is done by comparing the ratios of Tables II and III we find that for the boys:

^ B. P. Lindquist, Statistical Analysis in Educational Research, p. 36

This means that when the two influences (the influence of the parent who attends on the attendance of the student, and the influences of the parent who does not attend on the attendance of the student) are compared, it is revealed that 19*63 students attend every Sunday who have two parents attending regularly for every one that attends every Sunday who has neither parent attending* A corresponding table for girls results when the ratios of Tables IV and V are compared as follows:

CHAPTER VI

SEASONS FOR NON-ATTENDANCE AT SUNDAY SCHOOL*

INFORMATION SOUGHT; Vl/liat are your reasons for not attending, if you do not?

Lack of social life?

Don*t believe in Sunday School? PURPOSE;

Not interested?

Sleep late?

Other?

The purpose was two-folds

to discover, if possible,

why 33% of the young people have never been reached by the Sunday school; and secondly, to discover why 92% of those who start drop out before they become adult. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS; fruitful#

The findings, in this case, were not very

The one obvious fact is that those who do not attend do not

because they are ”just not interested.*1 If one adds the figures for **not interested,** ”sleep late,” and ”no answer,” all of which speak of a lack of interest he finds that this group comprises at least two-thirds of all those answering. There seems to be no significant difference between either the sexes or the churches represented —

except that some churches have

a higher percentage of ”no answers” which might mean that its people have never felt free to express themselves.

Many Catholic and

Lutheran young people do not attend due to the fact that their church does not have Sunday School after confirmation.

* See Appendix G for Raw Data

RECOMMEKDATIONS: 1* A greater variety of offerings (e.g. discussion groups, special lectures, etc*) so as to reach and minister to a greater number of needs and people* 2.

A modernized presentation of religious truth that would

so apply it to life as to result in its becoming a philosophy of life instead of a statement of facts*

CHAPTER VII

REASONS FOR IACK OF INTEREST IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL* INFORMATION SOUGHT: mostly, is it due? topics?

If you are not interested, to what,

Too much confusion?

Too few in attendance?

Lack of discussion?

Poor teacher?

Poor

Lack of social life?

Other? PURPOSE:

To discover, if possible, the reason for the lack

of interest noted in the previous study, SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:

The young people who do not attend Sunday

school do not have any specific criticism of the organization or admin­ istration, but rather have not become interested,

SPECIFIC FINDINGS: 1, Seven hundred and sixty-two students replied to the question as to the reason for their lack of interest;

three hundred ninety-

eight boys and three hundred sixty-four girls. 2* The Table for Male N on-Attendant s includes representatives from fifteen listed churches, but only six had a representation of nine or more.

These six churches were used as a basis for checking

the reasons* 3* In order to simplify the findings, the items scored were grouped in four syndromes of criticisms.

* See Appendix H for Raw Data

The relative importance of

each o£ these is indicated by the following percentagest Males Too much oonfus ion Topics of no interest or value Lack of social life ~ Ho answer (**just not interested11)

CHAPTER VIII CRITICISM OF TEACHER *

INFORMATION SOUGHT? "What would you criticize in the teaching? Too academic?

Not academic enough?

of the teacher?

PCRPQSEs

Not spiritual enough?

Personality

Not practical or helpful in everyday living?

Other?

To discover prevalent faults of the Sunday School

teaching staff with a view to remedying the situation,

SUMMARY OF FINDINGSs

Major findings can be summarized

briefly* 1, There was little criticism on the part of Attendants, was especially true of the boys.

This

The girls were slightly.more

critical both of the personality of the teacher and of any lack of value in the teaching.

The lack of cricitism noted might imply that

the attendants are, on the whole, quite well satisfied and have no criticism to make, 2, But there was also but little criticism on the part of the Non-Attendants,

This would imply lack of interest— which might

also be indicated in the lack of response on the part of the attendants,

* See Appendix I for Raw Data

CHAPTER IX AGE OP TEACHER *

INFORMATION SOUGHT; What would you suggest as to the age of the teacher?

Should it be the same age as that of the group?

the teacher be three years older than the group?

Should

Should the teacher

be at least 10 years older than the group?

PURPOSE}

To discover whether or not there is a proper relative

age for teachers from the standpoint of the group taught* SUMMARY OF FINDINGS}

The great majority of all the subjects

replying ask for a teacher from seven to fifteen years older than the group; none wish a teacher younger than the age group.

SPECIFIC FINDINGS: 1* Of the 2,186 usable responses to this question, 971 came from boys and 1,215 came from girls; only 575 of the boys and only 855 of the girls were attendants, however. 2* No group (male or female, attendant or non-attendant) from any church wished to have a teacher younger than themselves. 3. Only a very small group (an average of 11.3^ for all groups of all churches) wished to have a teacher the same age as that of the group. 4. One third of the total number replying ask for a teacher three years older than the group.

* See Appendix J for Raw Data

41 5* Thirty-six per cent of all groups replying ask for a teacher ten years older than the group. 6* A large percentage (62%) made no response*

This is not signi­

ficant, however, since many who do not attend or are not otherwise interested answered this question in favor of older teachers. 7. Since the difference in the responses asking for teachers three and ten years older than the group is slight we may assume that age is not the only factor operating and that there would be an optimal age limit as well as a minimal age limit*

For example, there

would probably have been few responses asking for a teacher twenty or thirty years older than the group. RFCQMMBKDATIONS:

From the above results, we can say with

confidence that the smaller Protestant churches (who are now tending toward the use of younger teachers more nearly the age of the group taught because of their enthusiasm and public school preparation) should inaugerate training classes for the preparation of older teachers rather than using teachers more nearly the age of the group taught*

CHAPTER XI

TYPE OF MATERIAL PREFERRED* INFORMATION SOUGHT; "What type of material would you prefer? Bible?

Problem-centered material?

Life problems? PURPOSE:

Quarterlies?

A consideration of

Other? To discover the type of material best fitted to meet

the spiritual and religious needs of young people —

at least in their

opinion with the thought that this material should serve as a starting point toward solving their spiritual problems.

PROCEDURE:

Two relatively independent (and in practice perhaps

even exclusive) attitudes were chosen as summarizing all the answers givens

Bible (including Quarterlies) and Life Problems (including

Problem-centered material). SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: A comparison of Bible vs. Life Problems reveals the following facts: 1. Over 50% of all attendants wish to study the Bible as against about 30% who wish to discuss life problems. 2. Ten percent more girls than boys (of the attendants) wish to study the Bible* 3. There was no significant difference between attendants and non-attendants in their attitude toward type of lesson material.

*See Appendix L for Raw Data

49 4. The only significant difference in response between atten­ dants and non-attendants was the slightly higher percentage of ,fNo answer" on the part of the latter. 5. Again a high percentage of Catholics did not answer the question at all*

RECOMMENDATIQNS:

This study would indicate that young people

both expect and desire that the Bible be used as the basis for the lesson material of the Sunday school*

It would therefore be advisable

to relate the fundamental teachings of the Bible to the problems faced by young people today.

CHAPTER XII

METHOD FOR SELECTION OF MATERIAL *

INFORMATION SOUGHT? How should the material be selected? Sunday School Board?

PURPOSEt

Teacher?

Class?

Don’t Care?

Other?

To discover if the general lack of interest might

not be due to the scholar’s lack of participation in the selection of the material studied* and* positively* to discover whether or not we would prefer ohoosing his own material* SUMMARY OF FINDINGS? 1* Of all attendants* 67% would like to have the material cho­ sen by the class as opposed to all the other methods*

This is quite

significant in view of the fact that in practically all of the smaller Protestant denominations the material is selected by the Sunday School Council.

It is of interest that the Catholics who answered expressed

a strong trend in favor of the choice of material by the class* 2* Over 70% of all non-attendants expressed a desire to have the material selected by the class*

Here again is the expression of

the need for active participation and activity* 3* Some few churches (as the Lutheran) did not follow the above trend*

This may be the result of the ideology of the church or the fact

that their being allowed to select the material was a foreign idea* 4* Again a high percentage of the Catholics did not answer*

*See Appendix M for Raw Data

CHAPTER XIII NUMBER OF SOCIAL FUNCTIONS DESIRED PER YEAR*

INFORMATION SOUGHT? How many social functions should the class have per year? PURPOSES

5 to 6?

6 to 12?

Other?

Don*t Care?

To discover whether or not the present emphasis on

social recreation is entirely valid, and, positively, to discover the extent (in the view of the High School young person) to which the Sunday school should provide for the sooial life of its scholars* SUMMARY OF FINDINGS* 1* Approximately 5 0 % of all groups expressed a desire for from six to twelve social functions per year and approximately 2 5 % expressed a desire for only three to six social functions per year*

This response

was unexpected inasmuch as young people are supposed to desire more rather than fewer social functions*

This may mean that the social func­

tions sponsored by the church do not meet the interests of the studon t— or it may mean that he does not expect social functions of the church* 2* It was significant that relatively fewer of the male non­ attendants wanted six to twelve socials than did the attendants* Either these non-attendants would not be interested in a social program sponsored by the ehurch (at least, that is, to the point of being brought into the Sunday school by that means) or they take a social program for granted*

The relatively high percentage of ’’Don11 Care" and "No Answer"

*See Appendix N for Raw Data

56 answers would indicate the former* 3* There was no significant difference between the responses of the two sexes* 4* Again a high percentage of the Catholics did not answer this item* BBCOMMEHDATIONS: This study would indicate that social recrea­ tion is a relatively unimportant item and that the major efforts of religious educators should be expended in the direction of an efficient teaching program*

CHAPTER XIV TYPE OP SOCIAL FUNCTIONS DESIRElf

INFORMATION SOUGHT i 'What type of activities would you suggest for the eiass? Pienics?

Parties (Indoors)?

Dances?

PURPOSE;

Suppers?

Parties (Outdoors)?

Other? To discover the type of social function most desired

by High School young people with a view to influencing their attendance at Sunday school* SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: 1* Since dancing has for so long been tabooed by the church it is significant that so many ofevery church prefer dancing to other social functions*

The only more popular social functions are

parties and picnics*

outdoor

The dynamics underlying this response should be

explored further* 2* In all instances a somewhat greater number of nonattendants would prefer dancing than is the case with attendants*

This is pos­

sibly the result of conditioning on the part of the attendants* 3* There is no consistent

significant difference between sexes

except that relatively more ofthe female attendants prefer dancing to other social functions than is true of male attendants*

*See Appendix 0 for Raw Data

CHAPTER XV SUMMARY

In spite of the fact that from 60 to 85 per cent of all addi­ tions to the church are brought about primarily through the Sunday schools in spite of the fact that 95 per cent of the ministers of the gospel and other full time salaried Christian 'workers have held member­ ship in these schools! and in spite of the fact that approximately 70 per cent of the church’s contact with the community is made possible through this channel, the Church has since 1926 permitted such a decrease of interest in the Sunday school that at the present time slightly less than 14 per cent of the population of the United States is enrolled in these schools of religious education* It was therefore the problem ©f this study (1) to disoover the comparative number of high school students attending Sunday school for the various grades, together with the relative strength of the various churches in a representative High School of the City of Los Angeles; (2) to find why certain high school students do or do not attend Sunday schools and (3) to obtain suggestions for the improvement of the organ­ isation and administration of the Sunday school from the standpoint of high school students* SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:

1.

Sixty-seven per cent of the subjects replying cure connected

with a church, but only fifty-four per cent of these attend Sunday school •

The Roman Catholic church is twice as influential in the com­

59 munity as the ehureh next in order* 2.

There is a decrease in population attending Sunday school

regularly as the students progress through the grades*

However* while

there is only a slight decrease in the case where both parents attend ehureh* there is a pronounced progressive decrease in attendance in direct proportion as the attendance of the parents decreases* 3* The study indicates that in most instances* attendants have not analysed their reasons for attendances enjoy it without considering why*

they attend because they

An exception to this would be those

who go to meet with God* 4* Those who do not attend are “just not interested•** There seems to be no significant difference between either the sexes or the churches represented* 5* The young people who do not attend do not have any specific criticism of the organization or administration* but rather have not become interested* 6* There was little criticism of the teachers by either attendants or non-attendants*

Girls were slightly more critical than boys*

7* The great majority of all the subjects ask for a teacher from seven to fifteen years older than the group; none with a younger teacher* 8*

More than 75$ of all Sunday school attendants*both male and

female* asked for creative methods of teaching* showing the desire for active participation in the study of the lesson* 9*

Over 50$ of all attendants wish to study the

about 50$ who wish to discuss life problems*

Bible as against

60 10, Sixty-six per cent of all attendants would like to have the material chosen by the class as opposed to all the other methods*

Over

70$ of all non-attendants expressed this same desire* 11* Approximately 50$ of all groups expressed a desire for from six to twelve social functions per year and approximately 25$ asked for from three to six social functions per year* 12* Outdoor parties* picnics, and dancing (in the order listed) were the most popular social functions*

GENERAL SUMMARY OF RESULTS

On the whole, the students who attend Sunday School seem to be very well satisfied, both with Lesson Material and the Methods of pre­ sentation*

In fact, the degree of satisfaction expressed causes one to

question the validity of the questionnaire*

This is hardly fair, however,

since if they were not satisfied, we might reasonably expect that they would quit attending Sunday school— as so many do*

As a general conclu­

sion, then, it seems that in order to obtain a critical judgment of the Sunday school, its teachers, and its methods it will be necessary to administer a questionnaire not only to those who attend, but also to those who do not attend*

It is hoped that such a study can be made in

the Junior and Senior High Schools of Los Angeles* Question 9:

Reasons for coming to Sunday School*

Over 50% of

every age group came to Sunday school because of the activities*

26%

and 20% respectively of the Junior and Intermediate age groups come because their mother wants them to*

The older age groups gave a num­

ber of other reasons for coming, such as wanting to

learnmore

aboutGod,

to learn more of the Bible, etc* Question 10s

Attitudes toward Lesson Material*

The majority of

the scholars replying still use the International Lessons*

Of those

who use the International lessons, over 60% of every age group like it very much, and practically no one expressed strong disapproval*

The

same was true of those who use the Graded Series and Other types* This would seem to imply that the Teacher is far more important than the lesson material*

70 Question 11:

Attitudes toward prayer*

unexpected, to say the least*

The results here were

More than 50$ of every department desired

more prayer, and 44*5$ of the Junior age group so expressed themselves* Over half the replies expressed a desire for the same amount* number wishing less or no prayer was negligible* possible conclusions:

The

There are just three

prayer has been neglected in Sunday school;

there is a trend toward things spiritual; or the students were afraid to tell the truth*

If the latter were true, however, not so many

should have expressed themselves as desiring more prayer* Question 12:

Attitudes toward object lessons*

Here the reply

was rather expeoted, except that we did not look for quite so much en­ thusiasm on the part of the adults*

Over 80$ of every age group wished

to have more object lessons, chalk talks, dramatisations, activities, etc*

Obviously, the reminder wished to have fewer object lessons, etc*

This should result in more simple and functional methods of teaching* Question 13:

Attitudes toward stores*

About 60$ of every age

group wished to have more stores--and almost all the remainder wished to have the same amount*

Those who wished to have fewer were negligible*

Again, this should result in revised methods of teaching* Question 14: a surprise:

Attitudes toward memory work from the Bible*

Again,

over 35$ of every age group except the intermediates wished

to have more memory work*

Of the adults, 60$ wished to have more*

All

except about 20$ of those replying (and this applies to every age group) wished to have at least the same amount of memory work* Question 15:

Attitudes toward discussion*

About 50$ of those

71 replying -wished to hare the same amount of discussion and almost all the remainder wished to hare more*

The desire for discussion increases •V':* si

in the more advanced age groups.

It is interesting to note that a num­

ber of suggestions were also made to this effedt:

e.g. that it would

make a great improvement in the Sunday school to have more discussion. Question 16: prised

Attitudes toward length of period.

Another sur­

42.5$ of the Junior Boys wanted a longer class period.

Of the

remaining groups, from 64% to 76% wished to have a class period of the same length.

As many as 16% of the Young people wished to have a shorter

period.

We had expected this from the Adults, but not from the younger

groups.

Should there, then, be a uniform service? Question 17:

question 17).

Attitudes toward amount of talk on “Morals*1 (see

Again the Junior boys must have mi sunderstoodi

41% of

the Junior boys would like for their teaeher to talk about the moral more.

As many as 60% of the Adult men had the same desire.

did more than 7% desire less talk about the moral. been wrong?

In no group

Could something have

Eight Hundred Twenty-three people of all ages from sixteen

churches replied to this question. Question 18:

Attitude toward the teacher.

80^ of the above (the

average was about 95%) of all groups wished to have the same teacher another year.

True, they may have been reluctant to tell the truth in

this case, but on the whole, there would seem to be some advantage in having the same teaeher remain with the class for a period of years. Question 19:

Attitude toward the Sunday school.

Among the boys

and men taught by men, by far the large majority of those answering

72 liked the Sunday school more than the public school— but then, of course they were coming to Sunday school*

Among the girls taught by men, the

only adverse response, and it was not large, came from girls of the Young People’s Age Group who had a teacher fifty years old or older* could be significant*

This

Among the boys taught by women, there were a few

more unfavorable replies— and unfavorable, I think, for a reasons:

some

were from Junior Boys taught by a teacher in the Age Group from 10 to 19 j some were from Intermediates with a teacher fifty or over; some were from young people who had a teacher from the same age group; and a few were from Young Harried People whose teacher was 60 years or older*

Among “the

girls taught by women, there was quite some dissatisfaction, but the dissatisfaction was so evenly scattered that it was impossible to draw conclusions from the answers*

On the whole the scholars seemed very

well satisfied with their teachers— but then, if they were not, they would have quit coming* A final conclusion, then, would be that before a true picture of the situation could be obtained, it would be necessary to administer questionnaires not only to those who attend Sunday school (and who, necessarily, must be fairly well satisfied) but also to those who do not attend*

This, I trust, can be done*

METHOD OF PROCESSING DATA

The cards (each card containing the information of a question­ naire) were sorted first by sex since this is a major line of demar­ cation*

They were then sorted by Attendance at Sunday school (those

who attended irregularly, on special days, or not at all being counted non-attendants)*

These four groups were then tabulated by

church and by response to the question. nine to eighteen.

This was done with questions

It would have been interesting to check the responses

on the basis of age and/or grade in school to ascertain the effect of maturation on the reaction but this was impossible in the circumscribed limits of this study. Another study was made by tabulating the cards by churoh and attendance to discover the relative strength of each denomination with regard to its consituency. The final study was made by sorting the cards according to sex and according to parents attendance at church and tabulating these four groups by grade in school and regularity of attendance at Sunday school. This proved to be the most valuable of the studies since it showed the great influence of the parents on the children.
