Dear Mr. Editor: With your' permission I with to discus* briefly the thing* whiph build up the Sunday school and make it efficient. The Sunday school is. aa I have said, a great .school of religious education.- Every efficient school must have'a combelenfTxxly of teachers ,aad an adequate curri culum or course of study. Without these there can be no school. In our school for religious education suc cess depends in large measure on these. For teachers in our Sunday schools we must depend upon those who live Jn our community; but fortunately nearly every community has in it some,men and women who have the benefit of high school and college education and who have be~a so nurtured by the church that they are qualified both mentally and spir itually for rood work in our Sunday schools. Thd work fn the public] school in the community also bripgs one or more persons of intellectual training and these can be utilized for Sunday school work. > . Then, again each denomination now puts out mpSt excellent teach ers. Training, courses and class.s can be organized in these cases and thus* ^quip more of our young peo ple to bebome efficient . teachers. Pastors, superintendents of"schools and others can be used to teach yie; e courses in our schools. In Sunda;. school conventions the problems of successful teaching are handled by expert leaders in the'Sunday school work and much inspiration and help can be gained from these. No school can affo-: J to neglect thesa means of development and growth. The effi cient school must look to the se curing and developing a well quali fied corps of teachers, both for pres: ent and future service. The successful teacher must meas ure up to certain well defined qutli-. fications.' H 1. He must know. He" must know more -tfcinf the pupils at leaxt in Things of the spiritual life. it will be yrell for him to be ihtellec. tuaily and spiritually qualified: he. must be spiritually qualified to teach successfully in our Sunday schools; for we deal supremely in the things of the spirit. But intellectual knowledge may be a powerful ally of the thine3 of the-spirit. Knowl edge giv£s confidence. To be de ficient -in intellectual knowledge may cause others to doubt your spiritual knowledge. 2. The successful teacher •-must not only know generally; he must know the specific subject on lesson t« be thought todav. There must bt- special preparation. This will re quire- several hours of study on the lesson'to be taught. 2. The efficient/ teacher must know hta pupil*/ Otherwise the language v«ed may not convey the truth-to fhe/hfnda and heart* of the pupils. The ate of the pupil haF lunch to floNvith his interests.
