"Talks With the Training Class," by
Miss Margaret Slattery of the Fitchburg
Normal School, Mass. The Pilgrim
Press, Boston.
This book is a refreshing stream of
the simplest psychologic, pedagogic, and
religious inspiration to any teacher or
leader in Sunday (Bible) School work.
Taking up in their order Important
Principles, Curiosity and Interest, Memory,
Imagination, Reason, Analogy, Attention,
the Will, Habit, and the Ideal
Sunday School Teacher, Pupil, Relation,
;the author deals with fundamentals in a
way at once transparent, sympathetic,
practical, high-toned and yet concrete
and comprehensive, such that it is nothing
short of a real tonic, an educational
and spiritual tonic and clarifler of
thought, to the one who wants to learn
and to teach and to know how to teach
with the best result to the one that is
taught in the Bible School of the Church.
The last chapter is a gem of the first
water indeed, and worth the small price
of the book. A teacher of the right
sort will not only be an ideal teacher,
Dut a teacner with ideals (not hazy, indefinite,
intangible, apart from life, but
as the things in life most real). What
we are as teachers we are because of
our ideals. One great purpose of the
training-class is to raise standards and
thus elevate ideals. The right sort of
teacher is one with a purpose, and that
purpose?to influence life and character,
and that Godward. The teacher with
this purpose will he thoughtful, faithful,
sympathetic, courageous, generous in
his criticisms, absolutely sincere, and
above all cheerful, and studious, constantly
^preparing himself to do better
work as the years go by. He is a splendid
ehallenee. ralllne- fnrth all mir of
fort, our best effort, to at least approach
the level where he stands a glorious
example whose motto is "Exoel-sior"!
"May God help me to know that
I may teach, and to live that what I
teach may count"! is his prayer all the
-while. C. O.N. Martindale.
