rALKED OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS


The conference of the adult and
administrative Sunday school work
ers held at Enterprise Saturday was
well attended considered the muddy
roads. About seventy five were pres
ent, including state workers, county
officers, Ave pastors, six superintend-
ents, fifteen teachers and the inter-
ested Sunday school people Of I'm
terprise. Several omissions on the
program gave our two state workers
double time.
Fred u. Gates, superintendent OF
business and organization, presented
program for the Sunday school for
each month Of the year, also empha-
sized the fact that superintendent
have a big task, and they should pre-
pare for it, should have workers con-
ferences, 60 to conventions, visit
other schools, read books and ready
to learn.
"The Folks We Teach" by Ezra
Flory of Illinois, was given in a very
impressive way. He said: "Teach-
ers too often use hypodermic
method in teaching. We should seek
to know the pupil, understand him
and teach him from his point OF
view."
The plans for the Salina conven-
ton to be held May and 3 were
presented by Rev. G. l.. Hovgard.
Never before has Dickinson county
the privilege Of having the state con-
vention so near her door. Her Sun
day school workers cannot afford to
miss this nearby pportunity.
A most interesting paper was read
! by Mrs. w. c. Booker on the adult
Department Of Yesterday and To-
day."
The many Sunday school problems
handed to the steering committee
were ably answered by Messrs. Gates
and Flory. Music was furnished by
the high school quartet and the chill
dren's choruse sang Keep Sweet
most beautifully. The whole confer
ence was inspiring and helpful. En-
terprise people proved by their hos
pitality that 1t is a fine place to hole
a convention.
