all the aunties and uncles are sum- moned for it may happen again. A no;e is made i.: baby's record books thus: Baby laughed today.''
 These doting kinsfolk do not req lize that baby brings to. the world with him from long ages of ancestors the principles of genuine sociability. He responds with "Da Da" to every attention given him, thereby show ing joy at the service rendered. He is lord and master. He expects the earth and gets it.
 Soon, however. the child realizes that around him is world not to be ignored. In time he adjusts himself and sees that the lives of others are to be reckoned. Not until the adole- scent period does the individual reach tle highest form of social feeling. At this time boys and girls accept peo- Y rle for their own true selves. They usually choose their companions from children in the neighborhood with cut regard to wealth or social posi- tion.
 Parents soon begin to impress social status on their children and then wealth begins to get it's full at tcntion. Our Sunday school deals with all classes-the rich and the poor, the cultured and the uncultured, the wise and the dull. The life into which our boys and girls must take their q places deals likewise with all kinds. As the school has changed from a {. poorly housed, poorly equipped, poor < Nv graded affair, so the scope Of the work and the mission of rabbi and teacher has changed.
 Teacher Training Necessary. S:s Time was when a Sunday school 2 teacher taught because she was oyer sS16 and would. No training was nec- ' essary: no special obligation was hers. But the time has passed when everyone is considered competent to teach Sunday school. Now she must either be a trained teacher or be anxious to be trained under the di- Erection of the rabbi. She must have ssa pleasing personality and she must realize that the school has mission as a warden of civilization.
 N Our eyes are to be kept on the earth instead of the sky. We are the Trainers of the future Judiasm-we are preparing our children for the future congregation of Israel-for x the future citizens of a great country. sSrhe school must realize that it must atand for social service. Whatever gMe want introduced in the future Jewish life, we must first introduce in the Sunday school.
 ss The world is progressing and life IS ever changing and in order to gam real moral progress. we must forge1 what is behind and look forward to the things that are before us.
 S Mems Fears UnfOunded.
 i Many are afraid of this new phase D; church and Sunday school, think Ing that it is a breaking away from < old forms of religion. They are afraid xhat it is disloyal to Judiasm, that we Ere substituting for faith and are so
 much absorbed with man that we for ret God. That too much materlalls''' sets us away from spiritualism.
 But the answer is this: It is no stubstitute for religion but a way by which present life may have re- 4frion suited to it's needs. We are hrineing the social question and re- < lirion together. Both are centered around the highest social interests. The religion adequate for the pres, ent lime must be a social religion ana < fhe social question must be a rengl- ous question. , o.,
 Now how to prepare our boys and r.rls for social service. Josh Billings E said "Refore we can have an honest Aorse race we must have an honest < human race" If we are to have an N sneal social system we must nave Ssdeo1 men. So we must train toward the ideal.
