Book Description
Excerpt from The Sunday School Problem We live in an age of progress, and this spirit of progress permeates every department of life. That which satisfied the public demands half a century ago is almost useless to-day, for it no longer meets the needs of the hour. This we must realise if we are to economise our efforts advantageously, that is, get the maximum of benefits with the minimum expenditure of force. Our Sunday Schools are a national institution. They have been an organised, effective branch of our educational system for over a century, and have played an important part - greater than is generally realised - in the uplifting of the people. Yet, notwithstanding the great strides education has made, and the adoption of reformed and more scientific methods of instruction in our Day Schools, the Sunday School has, generally speaking, advanced very little from its early type. The Sunday School is with us: the question is, are we to keep it? If so, then we must reform it. This little book has been penned in the hope of drawing the attention of the reader to the existence of a Sunday School Problem, and to promote in some measure Sunday School reform. We must first realise that our Sunday Schools are lagging behind educationally. Then we must find the causes for this, and, finally, endeavour to remove them.
