DUNLAVY HEARD
At LAST SESSION
Frankfort Methodist Church
Pastor Speaks Before
Teachers Meeting.

The Teacher and Teaching"
Music in the Elementary Depart
ment." and Worship Services for
Juniors were the three topics
brought before the closing meeting
of the elementary division of the
Indiana State Sunday School asso-
citation. held in the First NJ. L.
church yesterday afternoon.
Rev Edwin w. Dunlavy, pastor
Of the First Methodist church of
Frankfort. Ind, made the principal
address, pointing out the relation
ship between the teacher and the
pupil. Education is a personal
process" declared the speaker. If
this war has done any good at all,
one of the best things il has done
is this: II has brought US up short
on our methods Of teaching. We
were getting into a machine-like
system of teaching; our schools
were grinding out efficient students
like clock work, but the personal
element was lacking. The same
thing is more or less true concern
ing our Sunday schools.
But we have gotten away from
the German idea OF machinery, and
have gottne back TO the so-cailed
ld-fashioned' American way, in
which the teacher takes some in
terest in the student, other than in
the school work alone.
Personal side Important.
I'VE must remember that in the
sunday school our teachers must
develop the personal side of the les
son, because it will mean the de-
Velopment Of more interest, and Will
give far better results"
Mrs. William Dietz of Chicago
spoke of the music which should
be used in connection with the ele-
mentary section of the Sunday
school. a Point which was also taken
up by Miss Nanny Lee Frayser OF
Louisville. Ky. who mentioned the
music and songs which should be
used in services for juniors.
Praises South Bend.
Miss Frayser advocated the plan
of study which she herself is using.
Let the children think for them
selves. talk matters over with them.
When a problem comes up. let
them make suggestions; you'H be
