For three years he experimented to prove conclusively that rudimentary edu- to these under-priv leged children swould actually pro- duce a change in their lives. With no | education, no decent homes, no chance to learn anything good, the children were a “tough lot,” but three y of experimentation con- vinced Robert Raikes that could -be done in, impreving th® morals and condition of life of these children by instruction in Sunday schools. Robert Raikes published a article in his Glouce: ter Journal relating his experiences results achieved.

Robert Raikes was referred to as ‘Bobby Wild oGose' by some of his townspeople and he and his ‘rag- ged.regiment’ were sometimes ‘pelt- ed with fiith or had water poured on them as they made their way down the street. Even among the clergy there was.strong opposition, fearing that the, Sunday school movement was striking a blow the church.
