Excerpt from The Vacation Religious Day School: Teacher's Manual of Principles and Programs The vacation religious day school has passed the experimental stage. It is now widely recognized as a very useful institution. It can be adapted to the needs of all types of communities. The concept has back of it twenty years of practical experience. Its technique has been developed under the careful study of leaders who are familiar with the philosophy of both general education and religious education. The publication of a volume that adequately sets forth its principles and methods is not only justifiable, it has come to be a practical necessity. Back of the rapidly increasing popularity of the idea of the daily vacation school of religion are the convictions that - First: The Sunday schools, because of their many limitations, cannot carry the full responsibility for the religious training of the children and youth of America. In addition to their highly important work there will be required a substantial program of week-day religious instruction. Second: The responsibility for this week-day religious instruction cannot rest upon the public school boards, but it does rest upon the churches of the community. Third: In view of the constitutional provision for the separation of church and state and of the guarantee of religious freedom to all, week-day religious instruction must be conducted, necessarily, upon a voluntary basis and without the use of public funds. Fourth: The purpose of vacation religious day schools is to instruct the children in fundamental religious values common to all denominations. This instruction will in no way interfere with the work of the Sunday school, but, rather, will strengthen it.
