AMISH LIFE (CONT'D FROM P. 1)

A Supreme Court decision in 1972 allowed the Amish to create their own school system, preserving their way of life. Amish children attend one-room schools without electricity, and are taught by Amish teachers from books published by the Amish. At six weeks of age, children are brought to worship services for the first time. Attending services helps children develop patience, obedience, humility and a sense of unity.

An opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 26, from 5-7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Family Day on May 20, 2-4 p.m. will offer activities for kids and families, including traditional Amish crafts, and Amish food. For more information call 614/644-9624.

WE'RE BUILDING OHIO THROUGH THE ARTS
The Ohio Arts Council, a state agency established in 1965, builds the state through the arts - economically, educationally and culturally - preserving the past, enhancing the present and enriching the future for all Ohioans. The Council believes the arts should be shared by the people of Ohio. The arts arise from public, individual and organizational efforts. The OAC supports and encourages those efforts.
