Three counties in Virginia in which
Sunday schools are highly organized
and effective held their annual con-

ports were read on the past years
work, and plans We're laid for the flu

probably been organized longer than
any other county in the State. IT
held its stwenty-eiGhth consecutive an

courthouse. The whole county seemed
crowd of workers was present, the
railroad running special train to
accommodate the crowd
A notable feature in the work in
Surry county is that it has a county
superintendent of Sunday schools who
holds office from year to year and
gives much of his time to encouraging
and advising the workers and visiting
the schools. Each school in the coun-
ty sends him every month a report of
its attendance, enrolment and collec-
lions and other matters of Interest
There are also district superintendents
for each of the three magisterial dis
tricts, who arrange for conventions
and look after the schools in their
own Immediate neighborhoods.
