EXECUTIVE MEETING or
SUNDAY SCHOOL MEN

At dHSStlHg OF the executive COM
mittee of the Sunday School Asso-
citation in Atlanta the following bust
ness was transacted.
Voted that the word district" be
used to denote section of a coun-
try in regard to State and County
Sunday School Associational work,
instead of the word Division which
is now used, and that in the future
instead of saying Division Presi-
dent" and ''Division Convention" we
say "District President" and "Dis-
trict Convention This change was
necessary because of the confusion
arising from the use of the word
Division" in regard to local Sunday
School work such as Children's Divi-
sion, Young Peoples Division, Adult
Division.
From the Office have gone out dur
ing the past six months $3.50 let
tiers and 1888 packages making a
total of 50,763 pieces of mail an in
crease of 4,885 an average of 323 for
each year of the 26 working days in
month against average of 294 last
year.
The free circulating library main
tanned by the Association is growing
in popularity and usefulness. There
are now about 500 books in the IL
brary. 1t is interesting to know that
on an average every book in the
library is read once every five months
by Sunday School workers over the
state.
