NEW YORK, May 90 1905.
Recognizing the advantage of special
training well experience in every field
| OF activity, there is a tendency among
| Protestant churches in New York to employ
paid Sunday school teachers and superin-
| reimbursement and women who are special
| lists in such work, who have been educated
| for it, and are willing to give their entire
| time to organizing, building up and main
| tanning classes for religious Instruction. 1t
is a new idea, but it Is likely to become
popular with churches that can afford to
pay if it proves successful. At the Union
Theological Seminary there now more
than 500 students engaged in what is called
an extension course, which is a regular
training to equip Sunday school superin
tendcnts teachers, parish and mission
workers like the ordinary normal schools
for the training of secular teachers.
There is another institution for the same
purpose at Hartford called the School of
Religious Pedagogy, which was organized In
1902 in utilization with Hartford Theological
Seminary, and his year has fifty-four stu
dents, of whom thrty-two are women. 1t
is conducted like any other normal school,
with regular classes and courses of study,
and has authority to confer bachelors, mas
tiers and doctors degrees in religious peda
gogy. Mr.. Edward Hooker Knight. dean of
the Hartford school, told me the other day
that considerable number of city churches
already pay salaries to their Sunday school
superintendents. and that they are begin

know this because we are constantly re-

when, where and how did this practice
begin?"
Il suppose 1t was accidental l cannot tell
you just where it began, but probably some
church having a good superintendent OF its
Sunday school offered to pay him a living
salary if he would devote his entire time to
the work and other churches, learning the
success of the plan, adopted it. 1t is by no
means general yet and is confined to rich
churches in large cities. / am sure that the
plan for training Sunday school superin-
tendents and teachers originated with the
Rev. David Allen Reed, pastor in Spring
field, Mass, who In 1880 founded the School
for Christian Workers, which has since be-
come the Hartford School of Religious Ped
agogy. The work of this school is to train
specialists for superintendent and teachers.

Plan Growing in Favor.

one cannot say that it is popular. 1t is
too limited at present to have awakened
any public sentiment; but in every case
am familiar with it has been successful, and
the calls we are receiving for trained people
would indicate that the plan is growing in
favor | feel confident that 1t will be per-
manent. The increase of interest in re-
ligiOus education seems to insure that be-
yond any question. People are beginning to
realize the Importance of religious educa-
ton and that they must have specialists
trained to promote 1t. The plan of paying
teachers is favored by the clergy so far as
| know. / have never heard any objection
to it and have heard many churches regret
that they have not the funds to adopt 1t.
The rich churches of New York and other
cities find paid teachers more effective than
volunteers, and have discovered the advan-
tages of having trained men and women
who will and can devote their entire time
to their work. For example, not long ago
We received a request from one of the
largest churches in New York to send them

direct its Sunday schools and mission
schools, to take charge of teachers meet

Sunday school. We had another appIica-
ton from a large city church for a young
man as superintendent of their Sunday
school at salary of 81 coo One of the
largest Presbyterian churches called on us
to furnish a competent man for superin-
tendent of its Sunday school, and another
church offered 81 900 a year for a man of
experience in Sunday school methods to
assist its pastor in Sunday school and mis-
sion work -

have had some practical experience in
Christian work, for salaried positions in
connection with religious teaching. This
course covers two years, and the graduates
receive teachers diplomas. The third course
is for deaconesses and covers two years,
giving a thorough preparation for mission
work; while the fourth is for volunteer
