Excerpt from Introduction and Use of the Graded Lessons International Course: Junior Manual
The International Graded Lessons
From the beginning of the Sunday school movement and all through the early days when grading was an unknown word in Sunday school work, the teacher of the youngest children held a unique position among her fellows. All other teachers were wedded to their individual classes; she was wedded to her work. Other teachers moved on through the years with one group of pupils. She remained in her place and the children passed on. These devoted teachers, of a day now happily passed, were forced to attempt the impossible in many ways. The class given to them often included at one end children within the limits of what is now called the cradle roll, and at the other end extended up into the intermediate years. In addition to unsuitable lessons and an ungraded class the "infant class" teacher of the olden time frequently had no separate room in which to teach and even the smallest children were obliged to sit upon chairs or in pews made for the comfort and intended for the occupancy of adults. We can but wonder that any desirable results were obtained when most of what are now understood to be necessary conditions for successful teaching and training were lacking.
