Excerpt from The Organization and Administration of the Sunday School Numerous books on the organization and administration of the Sunday school have been written in recent years. Most of them present a skeleton form of organization and an outline program of administration. In this book the authors have furnished a different kind of treatment of the subject. Instead of suggesting fixed forms of organization they offer an exposition of the principles upon which they believe the organization and administration of the Sunday school should be based. In place of a formal, stereotyped program for all schools, they describe basic functions of the school and of its various parts. The disadvantage of readymade plans and programs is that often they do not fit actual situations, owing to the widely divergent conditions that prevail in different communities. A mastery of the principles that underlie all efficient Sunday-school organization and an understanding of the chief functions of the school should prepare a student to shape an organization and plan a program suited to the peculiar conditions of any situation. In common with the other books in the Training for Leadership Series this has been written primarily for young people in preparation for teaching and administrative leadership in the school of the Church. It will also be found to be adapted for study by groups of teachers and leaders in service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
