The first lesson for this year mar1s
the Introduction Of The Improved UhE-
form series Of International Sunday
School Lessons. This series has grown
out Of several years of frank discus
sion and the presentation Of many pro-
posed lesson schemes. It is an effort
to conserve the benefits Of the uni
form system of lessons with the desire
to adapt the lessons as thoroughly
AZ possible to the modern pedagogical
idea of graded instruction for the vari-
GUS departments Of the school: an
attempt to provide for the whole school
as thorough and as teachable uni
form lesson idea as possible.
Special topics and special memory
verses and additional scriptural ma
terial have been designated wherever
it has been deemed possible whereby
to make the lessons more helpful to
the pupils Of different Department.
It is the beginning of an eight-yeaP
cycle, chosen with the view first, u
incorporating several short topical
courses in addition to the usual series
on the chronological basis, and Sec
ond the committee had in mind the
desirability Of more frequent survey
of the entire Bible with varying meth
DDS of approach than is possible under
a six-years cycle. Finally, to har-
monize in the period of the cycle the
newly adopted quadrennial conven-
tons of the International Sunday
School association. Where no topic.
memory verse or additional material
Is indicated for inter-departments oe
schools, it is intended that Uniform
material should be employed for such
Occasionally the general title and
lesson may be found to be more help
full than the special topics or add
tional material as indicated for a Civ
en- department. Sunday school lead
ers frankly acknowledge that this new
plan is an experiment. It is hoped.
however, that the long continued con-
over graded lessons, extra
biblical material and uniform lessons
may find solution in this newer plan.
