The Library
"Preparation for Teaching," by Itev.
Chas. A. Oliver. The Westminster
Press, Fhila. Price, cloth, 40c\, net,
tuanilla. 25c.
Is a thoroughly up-to-uate First Standard
Sunday School Teacher Training
Course, well-adapted by its finely put,
compact, short-sentenced, simple and
precise analysis of every subject, and
w?ll-tempered test-questions, and graphic
blackboard outlines, to meet the real
needs of live and earnest average teachers
(existing and prospective) in our
Sabbath-schools North or South, East or
West. Prefaced with suggestions as to
How to Do Successful Teacher Training
Work, in five parts, it devotes 10 lessons
to the Old Testament, and its
World, 10 to the New Testament and its
Lands, 10 to Bible Institutions (3 chapters),
and the Sunday School (7 chap
tera), 10 to the Pupil, and 10 to the
Teacher. The fourth and fifth parts
lire the best yet published on the subject
we believe, and that on the Sunday
School in part three is exceedingly well stated.
We could wish that the word
""Pupil" could be more consistently and
generally used than "Child" in the last
two parts; it is broader and fits all ages
(for which the school stands) better.
The Bible history sections are apt and
terse and sound to the core, while comprehensive.
The whole work displays extraordinarily
keen pedagogic insight and complete
adaptation to the urgent necessities
of our Sunday School teaching force
today.
The author is not only a trained minister
and a teacher trainer in his own
great Presbyterian Church, but the Su
perintendent of Teacher Training of the
(State Sunday School Association of the

he lias made an enviable record for his
phenomenal success in the prosecution
of the work of his Department; and he
has given us just what we expected
here?a great Teacher Training texthook.

Select Old Testament Studies by J. B.

Instruction, Davidson College.

This is another of Dr. Shearer's books
on Bible subjects, following "Sermon on
f ho lifmint ' "QtliHIna (n tho T .Ifa r\f
Christ," "The Scripture, Fundamental
Facts and Features." These books are
small, clear, popular and are the life
productions of a long life of study and
reflection. They are scholarly, able, conservative
and constructive. We commend
them confidently to ministers, Bible
class teachers and the homes of our
people. They meet the errors and heresies
of this day. we think, unanswerably.

In Area of Influence.
Many considerations of economy. State
pride, local friendships, etc.. oppose sending
a son away from his home State for his College
training. The selection of a College In
another State, when such a decision is not
purchused by free scholarships and financial
inducements, is the highest possible testimonial
to its exceptional advantages.
The following talile gives the students attending
Davidson from other States than
North Carolina:
1901-02 62 1902-03 76
1903-0 4 90 1904-05 99
1905-06 116 1906-07 143
1907-0 8 158 1908-09 167
In service to the Church. Davidson has n?
departments of Theology. It Js a College of
the liberal Arts and Sciences only, yet on
May 26th. twenty-six of the graduating class
left her walls to enter the ministry. This
unparalleled record is the climax of years of
growing spirituality and Increasing usefulness.
The list below gives the number of
students who at their entrance in September
stated in writing that their chosen lifework
was the Gospel ministry:
1901-02 34 1902-03 55
11 JSIM-UO 60
1905-06 41 190C-07 69
1907-08 64 1908-09 81
During the past five years between 60 and
80 Davidson students who entered the College
with no such intention have chosen the
ministry as their life-work.
Suclt is the recent growth and present usefulness
of Davidson College.
