Open This Ev‘ening In The Morning A POSTAL WILL BRING| TRIAL TREATMENT AND | At the third in the series of Norwich Suaday school institutes under the direction of the Sunday school com- mission of the diocese, held Thursday evening at Trinity Episcopal church, there was a good attendance. Teacher ‘Training-—How Others Do It—How We Can Do It, was the topic announced for the address by Rey. George B. Gibert of Middletown, Rev. Mr. Gil- bert illustrated his remarks by use of the blackboard and his address proved interesting. It is time, he said, for us to wake up in the matter of teacher training. The Congregationalists are taking it up with energy and are far ahead of us in the matter of educating the teachers. However, our general board has taken up ‘the work with re- newed vigor and has provided courses of instruction for a teacher training class. Future historions will look back upon this age when we attempt to di- vide secular and religious training, as a failure. A professor in a high school or college will admit that class re- celving but one hour a week of in- struction 1s Jittle better than none. That is our position. Our religious in- struction entirely separated from the common school, is crowded into the short space of a half hour a week. The common schools have the best of equipment ang normal trained teachers while our teachers are picked up here and there, with little or no regard for ability, and our equipment is nothing. Our teachers have little time or prep- aration for their positions.

COXETER, Tailor 33 Broadway gregationalists have teacher training classes and trained teachers, and so can we have them. We must begin now and in the future we will have trained teachers. There are two kinds of teacher training classes, those in- side the school and those outside. The latter is the more urgent and is large. ly for those now teaching and for the older scholars who are willing to teach. The first Instruction for the class is Low to teach; how to present the lesson and get the Interest of the scholars. All the teacher {training | books are divided into four parts, the Bible including the New and the Old Testament, the Pupil, How to Teach and the Sunday school. The teacher training class outside the school should be first made attrac- tive, pleasant, sociable. You must give the teacher something that is going to help right away, the next Sunday perhaps, something of immediate help. If you institute a teacher training class here the instructor should each week take the lesson for the follow- ing Sunday and show how it should be presented, giving a practical value to each meeting. Thus the teachers will see a real value in the training class and will continue to attend. About one-half the classes in the country are taught by the pastors or rectors. It is better to secure someone else when possible, a Sunday school superintend- i ent or a public school teacher. | Rev. Mr. Gilbert spoke of the various text books in use and advocated one which is used by Charles A. Boyd, who is to be the instrucior of the teacher training class to be conducted in Nor- wich under the auspices of the Fed- eration of Churches and of the ) London County Sunday School a cia. The speaker gave an example of how the lessons should be taught in the classes, both in the Sunday school and outside, using the blackboard to {llustrate his points. Rev. J. Eldred Brown, rector of Trin- ity church presided at the meeting. TEACHER TRAINING CLASS AT BROADWAY CHURCH | Course Will Be Begun on First Friday | Evening in January, Continuing 20 | Weeks. The work of the five departments of the Church Federation of Norwich was { Interestingly summed up in Bucking- | ham chapel of the Central Baptist church on Thursday evening and the Progress that is being steadily made in planning and carrying out the im- portant work to which the churches of Norwich have set themselves was encouragingly delineated. Rev. Peter G. Wright presided and Introduced the five speakers, whose several present- ments ,of the different phases of the work took a little over an hour, For the Bible Study committee H. D. Johnson spoke in the absence of the chairman, F. R, Starkey, and he again outlined the plans, alteady an- nounced, for a Teachers’ Training class, beginning Friday evening, Jan. 3 and continuing weekly for 20 weeks to be held in the Broadway Congregational church. For the first ten weeks the Old Testament and Child Study will be the subjects to be pursued In the two periods into which each evening will be divided, from 7.30 to 8.15 and from 815 to 9 o'clock. The second period will be devoted to the New Tes- tament and to Teaching Methods. The fee for the entire course would be $1.00, he announced, and stated that a canvass of the Sunday schools of the city undertaken several weeks ago had found twenty-five In the various schools ready to begin the training course and to this nucleus he expected to add many more members, Mr. Johnson emphasized the fact that the training class which is to be instituted next month is to be but the beginning of the movement in Nor- wich and that it is most earnestly hoped that the courses may be con- tinued beyond the first twenty weeks with the aim of eventually completing the entire series which comprise three years' work. He referred to the suc- cessful work which Rev. Charles A. Boyd, whoyis to be leader of the Nor- wich group, is now carrying on in the same field in Hartford, J. B. Stanton urged the importance of looking out for the welfare of the boy, physical, moral and social, edu- catlonal and religlous, and his plea was for organizations in’ the church and Sunday school for the boys of all ages, for the furtherance of the big brother idea, and his final word was for the boys outside the church who, too, need to be reached and helped to find them- selves and_their salvation. Rev. F. O. Cunningham had no defi- nite plans to speak of in regard to the work of the committee on evangelism, but he considered evangelism to be the heart and center of the whole | movement and believed it absolutely imperative if the churches of Nor- wich are to live and prosper and the Church Federation is to justify its existence. The committee believes in the importance and need of personal evangelistic work and the question of missions and helping out the Salva- tion Army has been discussed. | Francis J. Leavens was present for | the committee on missions and out- { lined the part that this department is | to play. One suggestion was that each church have one central missionary committee, to act In the capacity of a | clearing house in the work of co-ordi: If You Are Looking for Christmas Post Cards, Beautiful Bookiets or Handsome Galendars a fine line can he found foi your selection at Lovell M St e i Bros., " THAMES SQUARE, Norwich HISTORY OF FAMOUS PEOPLE.
