Excerpt from Methods of Church School Administration We are near the close of what might be called the "laboratory period" in Sunday School work. The past three decades have witnessed the development of the Graded Lessons; have seen the Primary Department expand into a Children's Division, with its four departments - the Cradle Roll, Beginners', Primary, and Junior; and watched the Teen-Age Department changed to a Young People's Division, with its three departments - the Intermediate, the Older Boys' and Older Girls', and the Young Men's and Young Women's. The Organized Class movement has likewise grown into an Adult Division, with its four departments - Men's, Women's, Parent-Training and Extension. During this period there has also been developed a system of training leaders. The simple "Normal Manual" of twenty years ago has given way to and blazed the way for the present three-year Standard Teacher Training Course.

Excerpt from Church-School Administration For the practical superintendent, for the pastor and director seeking the best in methods of local religious education, for the student of church-school method, and for the teacher in need of a class text on church-school administration, this book is written. It embodies views, experiences and convictions gathered in thirty-six years of active Sunday-school work, field and local; and it aims withal to represent the latest viewpoints and standards of our rapidly changing church-school situation, and to forecast the further changes which now impend. I have tried not to forget the situation and needs in the little Sunday-school of the rural and frontier fields, whose workers constitute so large and significant a section of our. Sunday-school army. The principles laid down, and most of the precepts, are for them no less than for the worker in the church school of city size and departmental development. But for the specific study of little-school problems as such, the reader is referred to my earlier book, "How to Run a Little Sunday School." The treatment starts with a general view of the steps needful in organizing the school for efficiency of operation.

Excerpt from The School of the Church: Its Pre-Eminent Place and Purpose This book was written in recognition and under the impulse of the greatness and glory of Sunday school teaching. It holds in contemplation some of the mightiest things of the kingdom and counts this school pre-eminent in the educational system. Remarkable indeed has been the improvement in Sunday school method and organization, in equipment and management. But while the school has become powerful in organic life and outreach of efficiency, its mission remains unchanged, though the perspective is larger and its energies move with statelier and more commanding sweep. Its text-book, its purpose and aim, its glorious course of instruction in revealed truth and redemptive grace - these remain unchanged through the changing years. The open Bible and the uplift of the cross must hold with increasing emphasis the center of Sunday school life and effort, of efficiency and conquest. To that end in such measure as this volume may carry, the author makes his contribution for culture in the things of Christ - culture in his saving grace and service, in his doctrine and spirit, in the personal likeness of his character and for the triumph of his kingdom.
