called normal instruction. This meeting
should always be held on Saturday after
noon or evening. 1t is not difficult to
secure either in the community itself or
in some adjacent community a teacher
who of course would be adequately COM
pensated by the club members. This
normal teacher would suggest lines of
teaching which each member Would work
out according to his individual bent of
mind, but it would be requisite that the
instructor SHOULD fill and enthuse the
teachers before him so that they could
carry over the results of this Saturday
training into the actual class work of
the next day.
Perhaps. to begin with. the teachers
should receive, as compensation, a ticket
to Il course of lectures and concerts. the
expenses of which would be provided for
by any Intelligent community if the mat
ter should be properly presented. The
marked Improvement in the Sunday
school work which would follow so SIM
pie Il recognition of the teachers prepar-
alton and devotion for class work would
be so great that it would quickly be fol-
lowed by different parishes in further
steps for the more complete training Of
the Sunday school teachers aud at least
some progress with reference to more
adequate compensati ton for the time and
energy expended.
The practical difficulty at present, when
any attempt is made at anything like
a graduated course of study in the sun
day school of any one parish in a COM
munity, is that the children naturally
chafe under the unusual requirements
and are inclined to go to another Sunday
school in the same community. If there
could be uniformity of action, as has been
suggested, there would not only be no
opportunity for this, but there would be
established some such comfy etwee

ence to the foreign missionary work OF
the different denominations

thought in the new creation which is dis
tinct from all other beings to which He
has ever Impaired life.
In religious training the teacher may
be true to the idea of education, which
is indicated by the very word itself
educate, to draw out. When you draw
out from a child you bring forth that
which the Creator implanted. To do this
the teacher must have an intimate ac-
q%uaintance with each child's mind and a
place in each child's heart. This can only
be secured by the establishment of con-
fdence by a systematic interest in all
the thoughts and unfolding of that indi-
vidual child. There is no nobler work
and none yielding larger returns than
for any deNout Christian man or woman
to give all thought or energy by per-
sonal contact, not only in the class but
through the week, with the dozen or
score of children under the teachers care.
1t is simply impossible for anyone dis
tracted with the cares of earning a live
lihood in professional or business pur-
suits to make even a beginning at this
work. which is indispensable for the full
filling of the province of the Sunday
school teacher.
The proposition recently made by Rev.
Henry Mottet may be impractical so far
as it's full and immediate accomplishment
in most congregations is concerned. He
proposes to raise 500, 900, to create an en-
dowment to pay educators entrusted with
the spiritual education of the children
and youth of his parish. A beginning
may be made, however. in many COM
munities by a cooperation so happily en-
tered into in many other lines by inter-
d~enominational effort. | suggest that a
Sunday school teachers club might be
organized with headquarters so located
that all the teachers of a community
could meet as opportunity offered. This
Sunday school teachers club room could
be supplied with accessories for Sunday
school study and work at comparatively
small expense. Such a room as this and
a club would. without any specific
effort to that end, create a Sunday school
atmosphere. One condition of member
ship in such a club should be the at
tendance at a stated meeting of the Sun
day school teachers for what might be

COLLEGE For Sunday School Teachers
DIR. PLUAER OF THE MARINERS TEMPLE THE AIMS AND AMBITIONS
Q IF THE NEW ONE TO BE ENDOWED BY THE WEALTHY CHURCH
OF THE HOLY COMMUNION.

The question of the endowment Of an
institution for the education OF Sunday
school teachers is one that is to come
more and more before the public as the
years pass and it is certainly a question
that is of the most vital Importance to
the Protestant churches of the country
The recent definite presentation of this
matter by Rev. Henry Mottet, of the
Church Of the Holy Communion, New
York City, in a sermon devoted to this
subject and the ready response in the
form of a fund for this purpose has al
ready attracted widespread attention. If
thisi is required in a communion devoting
SO much attention to the catechetical in
struction of children as the Episcopal
church the necessity may be more clearly
marked in churches where no systematic
instruction is required or attempted.
A startling statement was made only a
few days ago by an official representing
one of the largest denominations in the
country. He asserted that at least three
quarters of the so called teaching in the
Sunday school was not teaching at all;
that if there could be photographic rec
ord of the conversations in sunday school
classes the distinctive religious instruc-
ton could hardly be discerned in the re-
marks and questions having to do with
recent military parades, yacht races and
the latest styles of millinery and dress.
AS long as the teaching in Sunday
schools is voluntary and gratuitous this
cannot be controlled. There will be the
most vigorous operations of the pump
handle, but there will come no water.
Not even the regular attendance of the
teacher can be depended upon and the
kindest and most guarded censure or
criticism will be resented most vigorous
ly.
The only way by which the teachers can
be controlled by the superintendent OF
pastor is by some system of compensa-
ton. That the demand for efficiency in
the Sunday school teacher as they will
average in every school is immediate and
urgent is all too clearly seen in the bar
renness of religious impression upon
children in so far as any defini religious
experience is concerned. Classes for con-
frmation, where confirmation is the GUS
tom, and children who nave come to years
