A Standard School is one that meets
all points of it's own UNCONVENTIONAL
standard. If you do not know the
standard of your own particular de-
nomination, write the secretary for a
Standard Leaflet.
An International Sunday School is
one which meets all points of it's de-
rominational standard plus points II,
10, is and ID above.
Among the twenty-one reports al
ready sent the Secretary may be noted
the following: The First M. E. Sun
day School at Rolling Green "a coun-
try Sunday schooD is an international
Standard Sunday School. Rev. T. A.
Olson of Minot is supplying the pull
pit. Fred w. Groninger, Ward Coun-
tvs efficient Teacher Training super
intendent, is the superintendent This
school has a membership of but ga
Cradle Roll of 26, Mrs. Myra Davis,
Burlington, Supt., and a Home De-
partment of 16, Mrs. Victor H. Davy,
Des Laos, Supt.; making total of 70.
Nine members of the Sunday school
Joined the church in 1914. They have
temperance department with 46 pledge
signers. Mrs. E. S. Davis, Burlington,
and Mr.. Albert Dunkel, Des Laos, are
the Temperance superintendent. Mr..
Horace F. Davy, Ward county's Sec
ondary Supt., is the Teacher Training
Supt. of this school with a class of
eight. They have the largest Cradle
Roll according to size of school in
Ward county. They use graded les
sons in the Beginners primary depart
ments. Here's record that every
school in the County should strive to
reach.
The Donnybrook M. E., the Kenmare
NJ. E., and the Douglas M. E. Sunday
schools, each lacks but one point to
reach the International Standard Sun
day School requirements We predict
it will be but few weeks. A beauti-
full Autographed certificate will be is
sued to every Sunday school which
reaches the international Standard.
The certificate will be joint recog-
milton from the UNCONVENTIONAL Sun
day School Board, and the State Sun
day School Association. Will your
school reach this standard? =
The brady school is another up-to-
date school. Rev. T. U. Richmond is
pastor, and Don H. Davy, Burlington,
Supt. Their report shows they have
reached eleven points out of fourteen.
This school had an excellent exhibit
at the Donnybrook convention and we
hope they will make equally as good al
showing at Minot next June, and at
Ryder in July. The Minot Brethren
Sunday school, with Rev. D. F. Lam
dis, Pastor; Ray Harris, Supt., is an
other school with a good record. They
have seventy members.
Mrs. Anna B. Lands is Supt. of
both the Home Department and the
Cradle Roll, and she is certainly faith
full in her work, as the roll will show.
Home Department As MEMBERSHIP
largest Home Department according
to size of school in Ward county. They
have 81 on their Cradle Roll.
The Des Laos Evangelical Sunday
school, with Rev. J. P. Driver, pastor;
H. B. Valentine, Supt., has 38 men,
bers. Eight members joined the
church in 1914, and the S. S. gave
$1,000 to Missions and $27.00 for De-
nominational Sunday school work.
These are a few notes from the re-
ports already in. Is your report in ?
If not please send it at once.
If your Sunday school has none Of
these departments, and you wish in
formation along any of these lines,
write the Supt. of the Department..
Watch for the S. S. Column next
week.
Yours for better Sunday Schools,
