A quota of awards for units of work completed has been accepted by leaders in the various associations and some as sociations have already completed plans for having Sunday school workers’, training classes in reach of every officer and teacher within the association. Others are mov ing toward completion of similar plans. The leader for Abbeville associa tion is Dr. D. V. Cason, McCormick, S. C. > In co-operation with Mr. J. L. Corzine, state director, schools will be arranged in reach of each church for the week of April 8-12. Each Sunday school is urged to co-operate by enlisting one hun dred per cent of its teachers and officers in the school as planned. All superintendents are urged to get in touch with Dr. Cason to find how they can best co-operate in this movement. Books the new Sunday school workers’ training ootirse, as provid ed by the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board, will be used and teachers of the classes will be se cured locally as far as possible for the state-wide program. The minimum expectation of the state director is that 7,500 persons will complete the study of at least one course in Sunday school train ing. The aim in these courses is larger schools and to elevate the quality of class-room procedure. It is expected that this movement will put South Carolina Sunday school forces iii the lead among Southern Baptist religious education forces and provide for the 200,000 pupils enrolled in South Carolina Baptist Sunday schools the benefits of the most up-to-date arrangement in Sunday school administration and teaching. The pastors of the Abbeville Bap tist Association meeting in Green wood on February 11th voted to follow up the work as suggested by Mr. Corzine and to have a study course for each church in the asso ciation if possible. * , — ■ + tXt • t ' 0 Twenty-five tons of gray mullet, equivalent to about 30,000 fish, were found when a railway dry dock was pumped out at Plymouth, England.. classify, according to their individ ual experiences, those persons wha are eligible for relief. This classi fication is being conducted throughout the state. Clients are being notified to ap pear at McCormick, where they are given a personal interview and in formation is obtained relative t® their qualifications. Information, heretofore received by the Social Service department is recorded on the classification card before it Is sent to the work division for fur ther information. Clients are then questioned as to their educa tion, special vocational training, date of last employment, their usual occupation, and the work: they are qualified to do. This in formation will be used to placs clients on projects, as near as pos sible, in line with their previous training and experience. In case the ERA does not have a project ox which a client with specific train ing can work, the authorities are still able, through the information they have on each client, to locare them on jobs next best suited for their qualifications. According to ERA authorities this classification is mandatory anil it is therefore essential that those on the certified list return for ss. classification as soon as they are notified. “The relief organization h»^ made it a policy to try, as near as possible, to place a man in the work for which he is qualified,” K.
