STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
Official Magazine Says That Past Year
Is Successful One-1OO, Institutes
Booked,

A copy of the Live Wires" maya
zine published under the auspices of
the North Dakota Sunday School as
ISOLATION has been received. This
magazine is published quarterly at
Fargo. John Orchard of Fargo is bust
ness manager and editor, while Mrs.
E. P. Johnson of this city is the as
sociate editor.
In regards to the institutes the
magazine has the following to say:
1t Is but two years since the State
association began it's more agrees
sive work in the full time of the gen
eral secretary. and part time of the
primary secretary, but between this
and then there has arisen such a de-
mand for their services in this branch
OF work, that they could very easily
give their entire time to institutes.
Already over 100 have been booked
for institutes. 1t is deeply to be re-
GREETED that the primary secret AIRY,
whose work is of SO much value to
these newer settlements, will be de-
barred through home ties from attend
ing any of these institutes, nevertne.
less We feel sure that the individual
school touched in this way will re-
ceive uplift sufficient to warrant the
general secretary in crowding ali the
time he can into this helpful form of
state work."
Grading In Grand Forks.
Another outcome of the state work
this year has been the introduction
of the graded system in the larger
cities. Prof. w. NJ. Bryant of the
state university, by request OF the SUI
perintendent and school of the Grand
Forks NJ E. church, has given up his
successful class work for the more diff
ficult, and much needed work OF SUI
perintending the graded work Of the
school. The absolute necessity Of this
department has led this eminent
pedagog and specialist, to take hold
OF the graded department work OH the
basis OF day school classification. We
will hope to hear of things moving ii
not humming in this advanced move
ment in the Grand Forks ~. E. school.
Grand Forks County Conventions.
The annual county conventions Of
this county have no; been the sue
cess they should, and for several rea-
sons the one at Larimor, was not one
OF high water mark, and yet it Was al
most a prince to that of Il year ago
The dates of this yea contlictei with
that OF the political upheavel in the
county. thus keeping the larger por-
ton OF the business men an! male
workers at home where their presence
was absolutely needed. but as far as
longings, and aspirations were con-
cerned there was never better meet
ing. Some OF the very best papers
ever presented to any convention were
read and discussed-those of graded
work in this issue are three of them
then, too, the loyalty and generosity
of the schools to the state work reach
ed the highest point in it's history.
$3.50 was the amount pledged for the
ensuing year. 1t was ascertained that
the city of Grand Forks had. during
the past year, received personal up
lift from the state workers that in
several schools had made their work
of more value then they could have en-
pected in years. A further result OF
the graded work will be realized this
fall in the complete grading Of the
NJ. E. school under the direct suner-
vision of Prof. Byrant of the State
University.
