The Educational Department of the Review and Herald
By Frederick Griggs
At the meeting of the General Conference Council recently held at Washington, D. C., the following recommendation was made with reference to this department: “That an Educational Department in the REVIEW AND HERALD be established, to be conducted by the Department of Education of the General Conference.” The question of Christian education is one which has elicited no small amount of attention from our people during recent years. The Lord has given us some very decided instruction concerning the principles which should govern us in this work. The world is rapidly accepting the greatest delusions and including them in its educational systems. God’s truth is to shine out bright and clear in this rapidly increasing darkness. The purpose of the General Conference in establishing this department in the REVIEW AND HERALD, is to assist in giving to our people, and thus to the world, the principles of education from a Christian point of view, and to discover and apply the relation of these principles to God’s present and last message to the world. Principles are more clearly understood when they are applied, and we shall freely discuss in this department the working out and the practical application of the grand truths which have been given this people in this matter of education. There will also appear frequent reports from our training schools throughout the world, and from intermediate and church schools, when there are items which may be of general interest.
