Pelham, Misses Fannie Mae and Ger trude Carwile. .-rs. J. W. White. M\r. XV. I. Herbert. Mrs. James Dunbar. Mrs. M. A. Carlisle Mrs. Mary Stod dard. Newberry was not only well rep resented numerically. but on the pro gram. Dr. Cromer made one of the principal addresses. His subject was. "Teacher Training." After discussing the Sunday School and its purpose. teaching the word of God. and the necessity of teachers being trained to do their work. the speaker pointed out the fact that special training is needed for that work; that a succesb ful teacher in a graded school will not necessarily be a good Sunday School teacher; another kind of normal train ing is needed: three qualifications are needed. "grace, grit and gumption," and an ordinary normal college will not give these. The speaker then suggested the practical method by which such necessary training may be secured: i. a normal Bible course at the same time and place at which summer normal schools are held: 2, a summer normal school established by each branch of the church for its teachers: 3. the teachers' meetidg for the study of the next lesson, at such time as may be best suited, that time usually being the half hour be fore Sunday School: 4. a normal class in the Sunday School. studying the lesson for the next Sunday in ad vance. On Tuesday evening Dr. J. A. B. Scherer delivered a scholarly address on "Christ as a Teacher." He spoke of the difference in Christ's method as preacher and as teacher. His method as teacher was absolutely unique. The Socratic method was the asking of questions by the teach er. to be answered by the taught. Christ aroused interest and led the one whom he would instruct to ask ing questions. and thus. as in. the case of Nicodemus. leading them to high-r and higher height-- of knowledge. The speaker discussed Christ's meth od of preparation from the human standpoint. his faithful work as a stu dent of his one text book. the Old Testaient Scriptures. applying its teachings with a heart ftull of smypa thv. Christ's inethod~ slho uld he ours. after faith fui preparatio n. using onle text book. the whole WVord of God. with truest sympathy carrying that wo.rd to those whom we have oppot tunity of teaching.
