Coincident with the di-plevs, two

school and tied their instruct Uu.
in with the exhibit.
In e.rother, Pennnvlva'a commun-
ity. Eikins rark, the junior lvgn
school makes the history of reii'j;-
'on a prominent put of its world-
history courses. A prospectus of
he course advises that "through
under3"ar.ding about all faith;- v.<
should learn to become more toler-
;ni of the people who ho'd thei ."
iltud'-nts are esked to prepa: c
re ports on such questions as:
"What is likely to hnppen to re-
ligion in China under the Reds?"
What do ielifioti"" groups do to
help the rul'foring in the world?";
What part has religion- had in
'lie founding and growth of tin
'1 nlted States?"; "What is Russia':!
attitude toward religion?"
In business and industry religion
.similarly is playing an increasing-
ly innx> tant part. Last week, a
Dalles business executive recom-
meiido l that business i nterpi iscs
which employ several hundred or
more people should have a relig-
ious counselor.
The executive/vas J. B. Shoro.t,
director of public and employee re-
lations for the Texas & Pacific
Railway Company. He told a
Rotary Club meeting that the com-
panies that have p: ovided religious
counselors have found the relation-
ship between employees ami em-
Ill over to be on a most satisfactory
basis. •
Shores also ruggested that em-
ployee - management conferences
should be opened and closed with
i prayer. "Inrtead of calling <rti
the Government to intervene", the
ixecutive said, "v.hv not call oi>
lod?"
