Campaign Literature

By F. G.

At the recent council of the Department of Education, the following resolution was adopted:—

“Whereas, The success of our home- and church-school work depends largely upon the attitude of the parents toward it, therefore,—

“Resolved, That the departments of education, general and union, be authorized to conduct a campaign of education for parents, as follows:—

“(a) By the circulation of Christian Education Leaflets.

“(b) By sending out educational programs for conventions to be held in our churches one Sabbath in each quarter of the year, or as often as convenient, and,—

“(c) By such other means as may be deemed advisable.”

In accordance with this resolution, the department is issuing six leaflets upon the following subjects: “The Church-school,” “The Children Have Been Neglected,” “Separation From the World,” “The Source of Recruits,” “Our Line of Advance,” “Our Need.”

These leaflets should be scattered far and wide. They should be read by every one of our people. They set forth the principles of our educational work. We want our parents, our churches, and our people as a whole to become thoroughly aroused upon this important matter. Our union conference secretaries and State superintendents should possess these leaflets, and should constantly use them in their correspondence. Other leaflets are being prepared, and will be rapidly brought out. We hope to have before long a substantial fund of campaign literature. F. G.
