Grading; of Sunday Sfchools
Is Advocated.
Methodists Given Reasons Why
Uniform System Desired.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1L A plea for the
grading of all Methodist Episco
pal Sunday schools was made here by
Rev. Roger Albright, chairman of
the elementary department of the
board of Sundav schools nf fha Math.
odist Episcopal church, in submitting
ins annual report 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
graded principle in Sunday schools."
In speaking of the inefficiency of
untrained Sunday school teachers the
rejfort said: "There are many teach,
ers who have not yet felt the obliga.
tlon to fit themselves for their work
One needs only to observe sue!
teachers work to realize how f-ssen.
tial a trained teacher is if we are tn
get the best results from any curric
ulum. We are constantly faced witi
the fact of the misuse of even out
graded materials because teachers
have not the method by which those
pupils are to be taught. In too many
cases the department of superinten
dents has not grasped the graded
principles. .
