Dates for Holding County S. S. Conventions Are Mostly Set.

The officers of the Jasper County Sunday School Association are busy visiting the various schools in the county and arranging for conventions to be held in each township before the state convention, which will convene in Muncie the latter part of June. Miss Eimpson and Wz L. Bott visited the townships of Wheatfield and Kankakee Sunday morning an.l held a township convention at 'Wheatfield and Tefft in the afternoon. J. N. Leatherman, L. H. Hamilton and Mrs. J. I. Gwin visited the three schools in Gillam township on the same day and arranged for the‘convention to be held the second Sunday in June at West Vernon. Barkley and Union will have an all day meeting the firsr at the Barkley M. E. church and the latter at Rosebud June 11th. A township convention will be held in DeMotte next Sunday, May 28th. Hanging Grove and Carpenter will have their conventions June 4th. All the schools in the county must be visited by a county officer and conventions must be held in each township before the state convention if the county is to still maintain the standard of TopNotch, which it has held for the past two years. Every school should do its part in the organized work by keeping up the various departments recommended by the state, viz. graded lessons, cradle roll, home department, temperance, missionary and organized classes. Each township officer should see to it that there s an officer in each school doing the work of the department of which he is superintendent. Persons who have been elected or appointed to these offices should do all possible to further the interests of their departments. If the work js neglected as it is in many cases the work of the county officers is made much heavier, the standard of the county is lowered and the work in the individual school grows more or less monotonous and uninteresting. If there is a lack of information on the part of anyone he has only to write to the Indiana Sunday School Association, 417-420 Law Bldg., Indianapoils, Ind., stating what information is needed and an abundance of printed matter will be sent free. Let us each one do all possible to make the work all that it should he.— Press Supt. Jasper Co. S. S. Ass’n.
