It has also been noticed that attendance in these ac tivities has become increasingly small. As in other schools and places where attendance at such functions is not compulsory. State Teachers Col lege Sunday School has had its prob lems. But this year a new project was launched. Each Sunday an in- 'itructor, professor or student was in vited to be guest speaker or to di rect the lesson. Many personal ex periences and rich, helpful informa tion were shared with the group. It is noteworthy to mention that as a yearly average, attendance has in creased and students have taken a more active part in the Sunday School. For another year, it is hoped that the Sunday School will grow even more.
