8 UNDAY SCHOOLS
ADVANCE MOVEMENT
PLANNED IN THIS CITY.

The Sunday school department, American
Society Of Religious Education. has devised
a comprehensive plan for the Improvement
of Sunday schools Of all denominations in
Washington. 1t is proposed to employ here
the results of various efforts made by the
society in other cities with the express pur-
pose of advancing to the first rank the
schools Of the national capital, causing
them to be patterns of excellence, to which
other communities may turn with peculiar
satisfaction. The department supervisors,
therefore. solicit and expect the co-opera-
ton Of church people generally and Of
Sunday school workers in particular.
One of the chief measures of this plan
will be a weekly exposition of the interna-
tional Sunday school lesson, published in
the Saturday Issue of The Star This les
son will be prepared by Rev. j. E. Gilbert.
DID,. well known in the churches of this
city as a biblical scholar. writer and lee
turer. whose work has been before the pub
lie for many years. The last lesson OF each
quarter will present a series of questions to
be used In the classes in review. Any per-
son may mail to DR.. Gilbert any question of
a biblical, religious or spiritual nature. and
an answer will appear In The Star without
the name Of the questioner.
Other features Of the plan may be briefly
mentioned-the opening of the society's
rooms and library for consultation by
teachers and pupils al stated times; the ap-
pointment of Sunday school experts, with
the approval of superintendent, to visit
schools and encourage and advise; the hold
Ing of conferences among teachers by
grades to consider their work; the holding
of meetings in churches by arrangement
with pastors, on Sunday evenings and at
prayer services, to awaken increased inter
est and promote spirituality in Sunday
schools; the continuance of the normal
work of the society, the pupils to be in two
sections. one for those now teaching and
the other for young people preparing to
teach.
