Duncombe Hall Training College Prospectus
From the principal, Brother H. R. Salisbury, we have received a copy of the “Prospectus of Duncombe Hall Training College” for 1904-05. For the first time since the opening of this institution in London, it is now announced that “connected with Duncombe Hall College, and conducted under its management and supervision, is a school which prepares youth for the Training College.” There are several other new features in the prospectus which indicate progress in the right direction. The statement of the general plan of the work involves a most important principle in our educational work: “The exact time to be spent in the college depends, however, on the amount of training which the student has already received elsewhere, and on the special place in the missionary field for which he may be fitting himself. The studies which a student may take are not limited to a certain number, nor will all who attend necessarily require the same length of time to complete them, but rather has the work been planned that it may be fitted to the particular needs of each individual. In brief, our aim is that the work shall be made to fit the man and to prepare him for the special work to which he has been called.”
