Excerpt from Sunday-School Teaching and Management a First Standard Training Course for Sunday-School Workers and Older Pupils, Especially in Smaller Schools
There are many courses of study in use for training Sunday-school teachers, but they fail to supply the needs of the smaller schools. As a rule they are written from the point of view of the larger town and city schools. This course has been prepared with the needs of the smaller schools, especially of those in rural communities, kept steadily in view.
While emphasizing teaching, it deals with the duties and problems of Sunday-school workers in general. It treats in simple language such activities and methods as should have a place in any school, however small. Without using pedagogical terms, it bases its conclusions on modern educational principles. Moreover, it constantly lays stress upon definite spiritual results in conversion and character-building.
This first course of study on "Sunday-School Teaching and Management," will be followed by others on "Getting Acquainted with the Bible" and on "Winning Lives for Christ."
The authors have had exceptional equipment for their work. Mr. McConaughy, in addition to his editorial experience, has helped to train large numbers of young people for Christian usefulness at the Northfield schools and in summer conferences. His son is one of the younger leaders in the educational movement of today and has successfully taught large classes of Sunday-school workers. Special studies taken by the latter under Prof. George A. Coe, of Union Theological Seminary, have given form to many of the ideas expressed in Parts I and II. Mr. Bartow is a practical Sunday-school superintendent, thoroughly familiar with the problems and possibilities of smaller Sunday-schools.
These lessons have been tested, before publication, in various training conferences of missionaries of the American Sunday-School Union in different parts of the country, as well as in several large classes of Sunday-school teachers.
