Sunday School Workers.

The fourth International district summer training school- for Sunday School Workers will be held at Winona Lake this sumnjer ten days prior to the annual Bible Conference. The school will be open for ten days, from August 10 to 20. At this school in struction will be given in the modern method of Sunday school instruction—that of the graded system. Until within the last few years children remained in the same class for years, receiving the same instruction and going over the same ground from youth td old age. Now. however, intelligent instruction is being infused into the con duct of such institutions. Not only are the schools graded as in our pub lie schools, but teachers trained to the work are being engaged. Superintendents are being employed at good salaries to instruct the teachers in the proper method of giving instruction. From time immemorial well-meaning people who knew almost^ nothing about what they were talking were allowed to instruct Sunday school scholars, making the most flagrant statements as to biblical data, the scholars receiv ing the most absurd ideas. Now, however, such conditions are befng wiped out and only persons properly equipped are permitted to teach in this important work. It is to further this move ment that this school for Sunday Bchooil workers will convene at Winona Lake this summer.
