THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , OCTOBER , 1907
The Child and the Bible.
One of the problems of child
life in New York which is a ,
source of much though I ami
worry on the pfirt of mothers
is that of the Sunday school.
Churchmen have been facing a
steady decline in Sunday school
attendance for the past ten
years and now there is to be a
systematic investigation of the
whole subject by a number of
women's organizations connect
ed with churches.
A paid teaching corps is one
of the suggestions offered as
likely to improve1 the attractive
ness of the Sunday school and
several churches have lately
employed specially trained
teachers for the older cliidlren.
Fortunately for the women in
terested in the general better ,
ment of Sumlay schools in this
city ; there is a unique opportun.
ity to study methods of leaching
and observe the work of women
who are making Sunday school
work a profession. This is at
the model Sunday school held
every Sunday morning at 11
o'clock in teachers' college ,
Columbia university. This
school is undenominational ,
and has an attendance of about
150 children of ages Irom the
kindergarten to the high school
grades. A tuition fee of $15 is
paid by the pupils , although
there are also a number of free
scholarships. The teachers are
paid , and are women who are
working out new systems ot
teaching Bible history and
ethics in a way to hold the attention -
tention of their classes and
instill a thorough knowledge oi
the Christian religion.
Four years ago the lirst class
was formed as a private family
affair , and about twenty children -
ren were enrolled. Arrange
ments were made to use the
chapel and some classrooms at
teachers' college , and as the
idea grew in favor some of the
members of the universiry and
of the college became interested
and aipregular model Sundaj
schoolJmulcr [ the direction o
Prof. 13. R. Andrews , was or
ganix.cd. There are twelve
teachers employed , and al
though their salaries are small ,
the expenses , rent of rooms ,
music , etc. , are not met by tin
income. The deficit is paid b }
subscriptions from those in
terested ) in the development o !
a modern system to strengthei
this means of religious in
struction.
Grading ol The Glasses.
At the model school the
children are graded as in tlu
weekday school , and the course
of study is arranged so thai
children proceed from tlu
kindergarten grade until thej
reach the high school grades
which boys and girls of 1-1 to 1
years of age attend. This
method appeals to children , and
induces them to attend regularly
in order to complete the course
There are , however , noexamina
tions , marks or awards in tin
Sunday school course Such r
system permits the teachers t (
specialize in her particula :
grade ; with the youngest child
ren , kindergarten methods art
applied and religious instruc
lion given by means of Bibli
stories and Snnday school songs
the elementary grade studies
the patriarchial period begin
ing with Abraham. Next ii
order comes the study of tin
Music period , which include
the history of the exodus ant
the conquesl of Canaan. Thei
the period of the Judges , froii
the time of David and Solomoi
down to the division of th
Kings , and Old Tcstamen
history to its completion com
prise thegnext grades , followei
by two grades of the life o
Christ , and the high school con
tinues the New Testament studj
Interspersed with this groun
vvork of Bible history are ac
counts of modern religion
leaders , and practical illustrr
tions are given out the applicr
tion of Christianity to everj
day life.
Each grade has a separate
classroom which is equipped
vith maps , blackboard and
) ictures to illustrate the county
iml period which is being
studied , Helore the classroom
tudy begins the whole school
ncets in the chapel for general
eligious service ol prayers ,
jyinns and a short address on
omc religious topic with refer-
nee to home or School life , or
? ome one connected with mis-
lonary work gives an account
> f his labors. There is no re-
juircment for preparation of
essoiiH or references at home ,
nil pupils are'asked to repeat
he Sunday lesson story to some
one at home , or to a friend , as
his has been found to be an ex
cellent incentive lor attention
ind to the means of Hxing the
esson in the memory.
Children and Bible Study.
One oT the teachers , whose
class of boys and girls of 12 and
5 years of age evinced decided
eluctance to stop their dis
cussion of the lesson when their
line was up , said.
"There is no question that
iible study appeals to the
magination of children when
> roperly presented. Mothers
ippreciate the advantage it is
o children in alter lile to have
in acquaintance with the Bible ,
even when they are not members
of any church. Last Sunday
hree young mothers came to
'isit my class , and they ad-
nitted that neither they nor
their husbands attended church ,
nit in each case they wanted
their children to go to Sunday
chool. They said they had no
right to deprive a child of an
opportunity to aeceive religious
nstruction which they did not
eel competent to give , and at
the same time acquire a knowl
edge of Bible history that is a
lecessity for general culture.
" These young women repre
sented a certain type of modern
nothors , quite indifferent to
religious teaching and cnurch
ittendance for themselves , but
sutlicicntly impressed with the
rights of a child to give him a
chance to go through the Sun-
lay school and be in a position
to decide for himself on religious
natters , There is a great need
of trained teachers for Sunday
schools , in order to bring back
the children who lose interest
through the haphazard method
of instruction given them. The
lecline in attendance of the
betterclass children is much
greater than the total figures
show , for there is a large in.
crease of slum children who at
tend Sunday school for the
sake of personal advantage
which so many churches oil'er
in the way of social clubs ,
libraries , entertainments and
and personal aid. There is
abundant evidence that women
of the well-to-do class are in
terested in the Sunday school
question , and they will demand
a higher grade of instruction
for their children , and that will
mean a greater expansion of
the field for trained and paid
women to teach Sunday school
classes. "

Ministers in the Slums.
Periodically the newspapers
ontain accounts of ministerial
expeditions into city slums
jased on a desire of men of the
cloth to gain information at
Irst hand that may be useful in
the divine calling. Recently a
Cansas City minister penetrated
*
the tainted .purlieus of the
'North end , " and emerged
with a conviction tha't the lo
cality needed more lights. Up
n Chicago the pastor of the
Pilgrim Congregational church
las discovered that 55 per cent
of the women who patronize
irst-class restaurants in that
city take alcoholic drinks , lie
mows this to be true , for he
counted them in nine res
taurants at the noon hour.
What is this Chicago minister
going to do in the way of re-
brining the condition which he
las discovered ? in all pro
bability lie will go into his pul-
) it this morning and talk earn
estly to his congregation about
the evils of intemperance. And
lis congregation will be in
thorough accord with his views.
Jut it must be perfectly obvious
to any thinking person that the
pastor of the Pilgrim Congre
gational church will accomplish
very little by this sort of work.
To begin with , the members of
lis Hock to whom he talks two
or three times a week are not ,
is a rule , people who drink in
public restaurants. They are
lot the offenders , and about the
only effect of a ministerial
campaign against public drink
ing is the arousal of more or less
sentiment that may accomplish
some good results.
The great problem that con
fronts the church today is the
need of applied religion. Mere
academic discussion of moral
truths is uplifted to the
[ wrticipants , but in most cases
Lhe participants are not the
ones who need moral regenera
tion. Our churches are occupied
each Sabbath by good men and
women , who hear the Word ex
pounded in much the same way
from one year's end to another.
A minister who tells them of
the eyite of the slums gains
sympathetic attention , but
what are they going to do about
it ? There should be no neces
sity lor a visit of a minister to
the disreputable district of a
city to learn that evils exist.
All he can find out at most is
that these notorious evils
abound , and any man of obser
vation and experience knows
this just as he knows that pov
erty and crime are part of city
life.
life.The
The churches of our large
cities are recognizing the neces
sity of mission work and of
going into the byways and
spreading the blessings of the
gospel through the dark places.
Those ministers who make in
frequent excursions into the
slums and return to tell their
fashionable congregations about
their experiences are well within -
in their moral righls , but with
out systematic effort to take re
ligion to the blind men anil
women who infest the slums
little can be accomplished.
