Paid Sunday School Teachers.

New York Times: The assertion Of
Professor Nathaniel Schmidt, Of Cor
nell university, that he did not believe
that the average Sunday school teacher
was competent to teach Sunday
school class calls attention to the plan.
already in operation to some extent, of
employing paid teachers for such work.
Within a few days the pastor OF a Bos-
ton church, where the system OF hiring
trained teachers for Sunday school in
structlon has been tried. reported ell
Enthusiastically in its favor. In some of
the wealthy. congregations in and near
New York there are already paid Sun
day school teachers, especially those
who have charge OF infant classes. BY
the Boston experimental was found
that good story tellers were the most
successful OF the paid teachers. Wheth-
er the ability to tell entertaining stor-
les combined with strong devotional
sentiment will add. through the Sunday
school training of children, to the ulti.
mate strength OF religion Is matter
worthy OF consideration. The hearty
applause that Professor Schmidt re-
ceived would seem TO indicate that an
effort to train or to secure really COM
petent Sunday school teachers would
be move In the religious field that
would command instant approval.
