Tue, Sep 23, 1947: Sunday School poll

"Your Sunday School poll was quite interesting. The results fitted the expected pattern for a church group--with an exception or two. Only 4 out of 43 felt that dancing is wrong. I daresay that a similar poll given thirty years ago would have brought very different answers. A change has occured in our relative morals. I'm pleased with the unanimous opinion on the one entitled: 'Marriage is as much a Christian vocation for a girl as any one directly engaged in humanitarian service."
--Letter from my father, Protection, Kans., to my mother, Winfield, Kans., Tuesday, September 23, 1947.
