TEACHER TRAINING IN
THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS

Fifth: A better class of literature
is finding it's way among the people.
Schools, too, are seeking better equip
ments, and thus are placing them
selves more nearly on par with the
public schools. Comparisons in many
places are becoming less and less
odious
Sixth: To the furtherance Of this
great work, an opportunity is open to
all, regardless Of denomination; the
Association invites all, everyone, of
the citizens of Ward county. The plan
is simple. A card directed to me, adj
dress given below, will bring needed
information. Enroll, select a text
book and begin in classes or alone. At
stated intervals, if desired, examina-
ton lists will be sent. A certificate
is given for each successful examina-
ton, the last certificate is diploma.
Let every community now organize
and be affiliated with the Teacher
Training work. The most learned
men of Ward county, after taking up
and studying these text books put out
by each denomination, state that they
are superior to a college course, CIV
ing you complete detail in a concise
form. ..@

meet with others working in othe,
parts of the county and get their
views and see how readily you can
benefit your own school by the exper-
icnce of others. would like especial
ly to see large delegation of Teacher
Training students attend. l am more
than glad to announce Dist. No. 4 upon
the way with two Teacher Training
classes. In my previous article ! re-
ported them not in existence, however
/ am agreeably glad to receive reports
Of two classes in Surrey. ! congratu-
late you.
However, we still need more classes
Each school needs class. II you &c
not have one, why not? You cannot
expect to compete and hold your Sun
day school scholars without you pro-
vide competent teachers.
The old style of asking the questions
simply that are in your Sunday schoo
book is a back number. This old style
teaching has been set aside, discarded
along with the sickle and the grair
| cradle, in this enlightened day effic
iency is the aim. So, friends, join
Teacher Training class and receive
that that you know you lack. h.
Questions upon Teacher Training
will be gladly answered by me:
Yours respectfully,
