What happened to Sunday School?  Parents don't bring their kids there 
so they churches want the captive audience.  When I was a kid we had 
"Wednesday School" -- Wed. morning release time -- with about double 
the attendance as at Sunday School -- even worse ratio during hunting 
season, of course.  I remember vividly the first year our church did 
not have Wednesday school -- and I was "stuck" at school with a few 
other misfit heathens and wondered why I was being singled out and 
punished.  This was second grade, I think.  Eventually the 
Prestbyterian church got its act together and belated started its 
standard Wednesday school late that year.  A year or two later the 
entire release program was dropped due to establishment concerns and 
busing costs -- which had been borne by the school district and which 
was looking for ways to save money, even back then in the late 50s, 
early 60s.
