the people. We play too much
with our Sunday school work. DO
not wait for auy teacher or the su.
perintendent Run on a business
way.

nomiuational workers. We don't
have 10 think alike to work alike.
We learn great deal in these con-
ventons and do not learn it all from
the spe akers.
In a modern Sunday school you
have the cradle row. the kinder
garten and the primary. We are
after the Infants. Then there is
the home department tor the shut
ms, the cripp!es, the people who
have to work, the street
car men and the sailors and sol.
diers. They are in touch with the
school.
Then you have the Norm al school.
The teacher is the key to the s,tu-
alton. The teacher is the hinge on
which our school wings. We want
better teachers in our schools.
