ing the Best Means to Educate

The annual convention of the Ram
sey County Sunday School association
was held yesterday at the House OF
Hope church. There were two sessions,
afternoon and evening. The president.
DR.. c. E. Lee. opened the afternoon
session with short address bearing
upon the work Of the convention, and
thereafter Mrs. ID. G. Eggleston, super
intendent of primary work at the Peo-
pies church, read a paper entitled
.Foundation Stones" The subject of
the paper was covered most exhaust
lively. Mrs. Eggleston is pronounced
in her views of the Importance of the
early inculcation of religious truths.
To arrive at high standard of effici-
ency in any of the arts, generally
speaking, it was we'll to begin early.
Great as was this need i'll secular
instruction, it was still more par
amount in religious instruction.
The Catholic church recognized
this fact by the attention that was paid
to the young people affiliated with that
church. Dropped truths into the soft
heart of the child would remain for
ever. The best work to be done FOL the
future generation is to properly train
the children. Mrs. Egglest0n had very
little faith in the effectiveness Of the
teacher who said she was not tired after
an hour with her class. The day OF say
ing over platitudes was fast passing
away to the more thorough, painstakIng
and conscientious work which was tax
RI
ton often asked, "What is necessary,
what is the best method of training?"
Mrs. Eggleston replied: Anything
and everything that will direct the
child's attention. f. w. Packard, of
