Sunday School Association
Discusses Very Timely Sub
ject.
By MRS. l.. M. ORMSLY.

Idaho has not half proven to the rest
of the states what she has. A New
York mans letter inquiries, DO you
have electric lights in Idaho?" Our
power. company had fine power dis
play at the recent dairy show. There
Is no state with better electrical ad-
vantages, but part of the state knocks
the advantages to be gained through
electricity because they do not know
now to use it to the best advantages.
How much stronger our state would be
II we had training class for both east
and west Idaho. and send out people
prepared to SHOW how"
Sunday schools in Idaho are only as
strong as the weakest school. We have
demonstrators ready to put the work
In your hands, in your heads, and so
firm in your hearts that you will be
willing to invest much time in this bus
mess We discovered while we were in
the east that Idaho is doing fine Sun
day school work, in some places, but
other places knock.

that Is good out Of them and putting
in new ideas. The people boosting silos
at the produce show had many lessons
for you.

kind Of business and If your Sunday
school cannot line up on every point
either go out Of business or get a DEM
onstrator to repair your machinery.
The first visit to your school will de-
termine whether your business is any
good. Don't make excuses. A BUSH
ness house never accepts any. You
must study each line of work to make
1t succeed. The wisest man In the
world is the one that knows there are
many things he does not know, but is
constantly on the search to find out
new knowledge. There will be a school
of demonstration for Boise soon, so
check up what you don't know about
your religious schools and we will en-
deavor to put this knowledge In your
hand.
Meeting of superintendent this week
to outline definite plans. and we ex-
pect not only Sunday school people but
all the business men of Boise to boost
for the best business demonstration.
An important meeting Of the state
executive committee of the Idaho State
Sunday School association was held In
the state office today. It is always
interesting to know the personnel Of
any of our business enterpr SEES, so we
may be sure they are men who can be
depended on to make their work
credit to Idaho. Any citizen interested
In the best business In Idaho may in
quire of any Of the following officers:

ans. w. H. Coppedge. J. Doolittle, Rev,

The Sunday schools of Nampa have
recovered from the effects of the flu
even better than Boise. Last Sunda,
each department was well filled. The
adult department OF the United Pres
byterian church hold services in the H.
lbrary during the building Of their beau
tiful new church. It pays to study Of.
ficient methods, for It means new Gus
tomers--so many that you need new
store houses.
In the afternoon rally was held in
the Christian church Of Nampa to plan
future work. and start publicity plans
for the state convention which will oe
