Fill Our Training-Schools
By F. G.
It is now time for our young people to begin to plan for their next year's school work. Our training-schools, this coming year, should be better filled than ever before with young people whose age and education would admit them to these schools. These young people should be imbued with a more earnest purpose than that which has possessed the young people in our training-schools in previous years. This is not saying that in the past our young people have not had a purpose in their school work, but it is saying that, in view of the fact of the near coming of the Lord, every year should see a larger and a stronger company of young men and women preparing for active service in our Master's cause. It is to the young people of to-day that we must look for the burden-bearers of to-morrow. It is important that our training-schools should recognize the great responsibility which rests upon them to provide thorough courses of instruction for young people, and to surround them with an atmosphere and with influences which are the most help to character-building. Then, the responsibility rests upon every parent, every Sabbath-school worker, every church-member, and particularly upon our school workers in both church and conference schools, and our State superintendents to search out and to encourage these young people by every laudable means in an honest endeavor to obtain an education. God lays a responsibility upon young people to get this education. Let us, then, who are interested in the rapid advance of this message sense the value of a thorough education for our young people, and make everything bend to this end.
