The getective employed by Phelan dur- ing his incumbency had reported that during his inspection he had found that the sweepers had not cleaned the middle of the street, but only the gutters and crossings. Gray explained that special crews were employed to sweep gutters and crossings only and the expert was unaware of the work to be performed by “special” and regular crews.

PLANG SUNDAY- SGHOOL REVIVAL Visitation Association Prepares to Begin Canvass. A meeting of the executive committee of the House-to-Hous= Visitation Associx. | tion will be held January 21, at 5 o'clock p. m, in the Young Men's Christian Asso- clation building. Plans will be discussed jand arranged to facilitate the carrying out of the purposes of the association. All those who are Interested in Sun®y- school work are invited to attend. The chief aim of the association Is to create greater interest in Sunday-school work. The assoclation is non-sectarian. Its work consists of locating those who are not attending any Sunday-school and in giving their names to the church of their cholce. When the delinquents are brought to the notice of their pastor the work of the association ceases. If persons are found to have no preference for any church their names are left at the central offics of the association, where they are acces- sible to the pastors in whose districts the persons reside. The visitation work is to be actively commenced on the evening of January 29. The city has been divided according to the school census districts. Over each dis- trict a superintendent has been installed, whose duty it is to secure visitors, distri- bute the canvass books, receive the reports and return the names to' the group super- intendent.

A canvass of the entire State of Indiana has been recently completed. In the seventy-two towns and town- ships, with a total population of 213,565, 1955 visitors called on 55,933 families. Of these 93,383 reported as being church mem- bers, and 16,492—about one in thirteen of the people—sxpressed no religious prefec- ence.
