Bible School of
c. U. Sets Many
Goals For 1916
Educational Building, Teachers
Training Class, and Chorus
Proposed Projects

An educational building. the rees-
Establishment of the teachers training
class and the organization of school
choir or chorus are among the 1916
aims OF the Central Union Bible school,
as outlined in the annual report OF
Superintendent Vaughan MacCaughey.
The report was prepared in conjunc-
ton with the recent annual meeting of
the church.
The report follows:
"A large chart, showing the organi.
cation and staff of the Bible school
for 1876, was printed and generally
distributed. This chart is to be con.
sidered as an integral part of this re
port, as are also the appended reports
OF the associate superintendent and
of the secretary.
| "A very important feature of this
years work has been the high-grade
volunteer service along special lines
secretary's office; library; orchestra;
mission work; as well as unusual CO
operation on the part of teachers and
department officers.
| Educational PlanA Needed.
Another marked development has
been the completion of the organiza,
ton to point which makes a new
educational plant a crying necessity
| The school is seriously embarrassed
| by the inadequacy of its present quar-.
tiers. Departments and classes now
meet in three different buildings and
tent, and all the work suffers be-
cause of the diffuse and UNACCEPTABLE
character of the quarters. No large
advance in educational effectiveness
can be made until suitable housing is
provided.
The addition of a school visitor to
the staff has been attended with ex-
cellent results, which have been shared
by all the departments Of the school.
The visitor supplements and CORE
lates the personal work of teachers
and department officers, and gives a
thoroughness and system to the work
which has been unattainable up to this
time. The visitor should be perma.
nent member of the staff.
'srhe teachers training work was
given very careful study and super.
vision by Mr.. Fits, who has won the
gratitude of the school officers by
the high character and faithfulness
of his work. Due to a variety of fac,
tors this work was temporarily sus.
pended during the first quarter of this
school year, but it will be distinct
loss If this work cannot be resumed
shortly.
THE routine business of the school
has been excellently handled by the
permanent committees (fiye), and By
occasional general sessions.
Inauguration of a regular system
of promotions, with standard promo
ton cards. Promotions in June; class
reorganization in October.
Special attention has been given to
the work of the junior, intermediate
and senior groups, with resultant
strengthening of the teaching and gen.
eral work of these groups.
