bible STUDY TEXT REPORT TO Be MADE
At NATIONAL BIBLE CONFERENCE HERE

if they grow out of the practical ex-
perience of leaders and their groups.
Realizing that future Bible study
outlines can meet the needs of the
students only SO far as the frankest
criticisms and suggestions of those
whose judgments are worthy of con-
sidera ton on these matters are un-
derstood, the International Committee
Student Department secretaries, at
their last meeting, voted to appoint
commission to make an investigation
of student voluntary Bible study texts.
Among it's members, this commission
includes Prof. Henry Wright, of Yale;
Prof. Joel Hildebrand, of the Univers-
ity of Pennsylvania; Prof. VIM. J.
Hutchins. Of Oberlin; Religious Work
Secretary w. H. Tinker. of the Uni
versity of Michigan; Religious Work
Secretary Lloyd Douglass, of the Uni
versity of Illinois, as we'll as certain
members of the International Commit
tee staff The commission, at its
first meeting, decided that the inves-
tigation would be most thorough if
conducted personally in individual in
situations by International Committee,
State or Local Secretaries, or by Sec
retaries. AS guide to the investiga-
ton, a careful and searching ques-
tionaire was prepared. The investi-
cation is being carried on in educa-
tional institutions in all parts of the
United States and Canada.
In order to arrive at some united
judgments, the commission will make
a careful study of the replies and pre-
pare a report, giving recommends
tions as to Bible study texts. This
printed report will be the subject of
frank and careful discussions at the
Professors Conference in May, at
Richmond, Indiana, and at other con-
ferences, as well as by individuals.
By this investigation, the Student De-
partment wish to ascertain the new
texts needed and be sure that in
methods of approach, handling of sub
ject matter, etc, these texts shall be
even more thoroughly adapted to stu
dent Bible groups.

Harrison S. Elliott, writing in the
intercollegiate, a publication issued
by the Student Department of the In
ternational committee of the Young
Mems Christian association, has the
following to say, in part, concerning
Opportunity for Constructive Criti-
cism,' which subject is one of the
many to be discussed before the pro-
fessors' conference which is to be
held in this city May 2 and 3:
What about the Bible study out
lines published for the use of student
associations?
The importance of Bible study, not
as an end in itself, but as vitality re-
lated to the whole program of the
association in winning men to allegi-
ance to Jesus Christ in life and ser
vice, has become increasingly recog-
nized. AS suggestive guides to the
study of the Bible and as an aid to
the efficiency of the Bible group,
texts have been published from time
to time by the association press for
the Student Department, and these
have been widely used. They have
been published solely with an attempt
to meet the needs of the student con-
stituency for which they were special
ly prepared.
Have these texts justified their pub
lication? Evidently yes, judging by
the increasing use many of them have
had How is it possible to make fu-
ture texts meet the needs of the stu
dent groups more fully? Whether an
individual text makes good in the
type of institution and group for
which it was intended is finally judg-
ed by the results of its careful and
conscientious use. Constructive critl-
cisms of the present texts can most
helpfully be offered by the professors,
ministers, general secretaries or stu
dents who have actually had eXpe-
rience in their use with individual
groups, or by members of the groups
who are actually following the studies.
Suggestions as to changes in method
of handling the material in future
texts, and especially as to the lines
of study needed, will be most valuable
