SCHOOL WORK
DISCUSSED AT TIE INTERSTATE SESSION IN
THIS CITY YESTERDAY.
The Work Of the Superintendent Discussed at TIL
Afternoon Session-A Light Attendance
Other Features Of the In
tsrsShng Programme.

There was gathered ia the First Bap-
fist church all day yesterday an inter-
terested band of religious workers, con-
sistlng mainly of teachers and superin-
tendents Of Sunday schools. 1t was
the occasion Of the Interstate Sunday
School Institute.
The meetings are in charge of Rev.
L. E. Peters, of Parkersburg, and Mr..
Charles Rhoads, of Granville, both of
whom are we'll known Sunday school
workers. AT the opening Rev. L. D.
Morse, OF Martins Ferry, asked Gods
blessing on the meeting in an earnest
prayer. Statements of the condition of
Sunday schools represented and sug-
gestions as to possible improvements
were then heard. Rev. L. E. Peters
gave talk ON Parkersburg schools,
Mr.. S. A. Kasley on Wheeling schools
and Mrs. Rev. Morse Oh Martins Ferry
schools. Their talks were interesting
and instructive. A talk on the Sun
day school was then given by Rev.
Peters and the morning session closed.
The afternoon session opened at .
O'Clock with good attendance.
One of the most interesting papers
read in the afternoon was on Sunday
School uperintendeLts, their qualities
and how they should be selected, by
Charles Rhodes. He said the Superin-
tendent was the pastors right hand
man, and exercised the same influence
over the school as the pastor did over
the church. He should be selected by
the pastor and the church and the
teachers, in other words, he should
meet the approval of all three. Then
you will have superintendent that will
be in touch with the work in all its
branches. Under no circumstances
should the scholars elect the superin-
tendent. They are not qualified, and
can in no wise judge Of the qualities re-
quired.
Another Of the speakers refer red to
the matter Of punctuaity and said 1t
should be strictly observed by all super
intendents. Punctuality and the con-
tinual presence are TWO things that the
great preacher Sturgeon always regard
ed as paramount in Importance.
In the evening at 1880 there was a
song service led by c. T. Reed, after
which came the discussion Of the var
ious phases of the Sunday School Teach
or by Messrs. ]. E, Larne, w. A. Best,
