BETTER TRAINED
TEACHERS MUST
Be PUT TO WORK
Schools Must Be Taken Away From
Penny Basis, Says Dr., Henry E,
Tralle, al Des Moines

Des Moines, Iowa, June 25.-More
adequate training Of skilled teachers,
development of initiative and a better
understanding of the objective, grad
ing OF classes, provision for better
equipment for work, and taking OF
the schools away from the penny
basis" are essentials for the progress
OF church Bible schools, DR. Henry
Z Tralle of the American Baptist
Publication Society, Philadelphia, told
delegates to the Northern Baptist
convention here today.
In developing greater initiative, Dr..
Tralle said, church school officers
might pattern after Edison in trying
out new ideas. Workers must under
stand that the objective of the Sun
daw or church Bible school is a
Christianized, developed, social re-
ligious life, involving far more than
mere acquiring Of Biblical facts.
Every church should have teacher
training classes and conferences, a
library of books for the use of the
workers, and should pay the way OF
its leaders TO summer assemblies and
training schools, the speaker declared.
Discussing finances, Dr.. Tralle told
Of church which spends $4,000 year
ly on a choir and $3.50 on it's Sunday
school Declaring that teaching the
young folks is more vital to the sue
cess OF the church than the singing,
Dr. .Tralle advocated the payment OF
at least a nominal salary for Sun
day school teachers as good church
business" Quoting estimates that the
average contribution in the Sunday
school is about three cents per mem
Der, the speaker warned that training
Of children 10 this scale Of giving
means disaster for the church in the
future.
Church architecture, he said, neeS'
TO be changed to provide adequately
for educational and recreational needs
OF members, with twice as much floor
space for these phases of work as to
the preaching. Movable partitions
were declared to be handicap to the
greatest efficiency i'll the work.
Calling the one-lesson, one-assem-
bly, Sunday school something that
belongs to past age" the speaker
emphasized the need of graded les.
sons, songs, prayers and equipment
These, he said, should be in accord
with the best educational practices of
the day.

It was a stirring spectacle.
We had no difficulty in getting our
passports visaed at the British pass
port control office at New York, pay
ing $500 for some, also $500 more
for a French stamp later. We asked
a sour looking British clerk how long
this passport nonsense would con-
tinue and he said it would be several
years before the rules would be lifted.
The need of passports, he said, was
due to the abnormal conditions still
existing throughout the world.

that their shop is twice as large as
