Notes
BY Post c. Scribe

The list of delinquents of Post c is
longer than it should be. Probably
procrastinationi responsible for most
of them but the very low cost of
Il. p. A. insurance may have some
thing to do with it. If members had
to pay more than three cents per day
for protection of themselves and fam
lilies, there would be fewer lapses.
We all seem inclined to give greater
care and attention to costly things, in
GLIDING insurance. There is no good
reason TO expect officers and members
TO devote time and expense in round,
ing up careless delinquents, but we
always do. One reminder that a mem
Der is delinquent should be enough.
After that, it is up to the member.
However, a delinquent may be easier
to handle than new member.
Rev. Frank A Dressed, chaplain OF
Post C, gave a splendid talk to a large
number of members at the club rooms
last Saturday evening. From a truly
startling text he drew pertinent pres
ent day lessons which were enthusiasts
tically received. It is hoped he will
be with us again very soon.

PLEA FOR GRADING
M. {. BIbLESCH0OLS
MADE BY MINISTER
(By Associated Press

CHICAGO, Feb. "a plea for the
Methodist Episcopal Sunday schools
was made here today by Rev. Roger
Albright, chairman of the Elementary
department of the board of Sunday
schools of the Methodist Episcopal
church in submitting his annual re-
port TO that board.
"In many instances the whole Sun
day school meets in one room, Rev.
Albright said in his report. Such a
condition as this is very discouraging
to graded work. Just as soon as a
school sees its way clear to separate
the children according to grades, it is
the invariable result that graded les
sons are introduced. The strongest
emphasis of the Elementary depart
ment is upon recognition of the grad
ed principle in Sunday schools"
In speaking of the inefficiency of
unframed Sunday school teachers the
report said: There are many teach
ers who have not as yet felt the obi
cation to fit themselves for their work
One needs only to observe such teach
ers work TO realize how essential a
trained teacher is ii we are to get the
best results from any curriculum. We
are constantly faced with the fact of
the misuse OF even our graded mate
rails because teachers have not the
method by which those pupils are TO
be taught. In too many cases the de-
partment OF superintendent has not
grasped the graded principle

State Convention.
The It. p. A. state board decided at

A letter from the national secretary
advised the state board that no change
would be made as regards the national
convention which would be held at At

is estimated that about 500 delegates
will probably attend. Twenty-Five
