S. S. TRAINING SCHOOL.
Will Be Held Here on June 1917.
Conference June Ills.

| the ii ctnOdlSt EplScOpal Cnurcn,
| South, is putting on programme Of
conference training schools that
marks decided step forward in the
| Sunday school work of the confer
ence.
1t has long been realized that un.
| trained teachers were hindering the
progress of the Sunday school work.
And because of the tremendous i'm
| portance of the right training of tie
children of today to meet the vast
| problems of reconstruction before
| the nation, the demand for conse-
Grated. capable, well-trained teach
ers has become more insistent. But
| how to train men and women so they
| NAV 90 about their work in the Sum
day school in the most efficient man
| ner has been a problem before the
church. Sunday school training
schools have been established for
some years, but these have been few
in number, and many of the most
enthusiastic workers of the church
have been denied the benefits OF
training because of the expense. But
! the establishment of the conference
training schools brings the training
| within the reach of every Sunday
school in the conference.
These training schools offer courses
of twelve lessons, given in six days,
covering every phase of Sunday
school work. The faculty will be
made up of leaders in the religious
and educational work of the South,
who will conduct the classes in the
most efficient manner, and will make
the courses very definite and prac-
tical. The faculty members are Mrs.
w, B. Ferguson, primary speclahst
of Little Rock, Ark; Mr.. NJ. W.
Brabham, superintendent of young
PEOPLES department of the general
hoard of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, of Nashville, Tenn;

specialist, Atlanta; Prof. T. c. East
