The Summer School at Berrien Springs.
By Arthur G. Daniells
FOR ten days, beginning July 10, we have had a most profitable time at the Berrien Springs Educational Conference. From an early hour in the morning until late at night, we have been deeply absorbed in the study of the principles and methods underlying the successful management of evangelical and educational work. Besides a large number of teachers, there were present about twenty-five representatives from the various States of the Lake Union Conference. Our councils were pleasant, harmonious, and profitable. A full report of the Lake Union Conference proceedings will appear in next week's REVIEW. During the conference it was made very apparent to all present that the church and conference school work has only begun. It is developing rapidly. Earnest calls are coming from all directions for teachers. This department of our work is soon to become one of the largest and most important departments of the cause. A great, broad system of Christian education and school management must be developed. Educational conferences and summer schools are especially designed to assist in developing such a system. The ten-days' conference has closed, but the summer school has just begun, and will continue until September 3. Now if there are either church- or public-school teachers among our people who have not gone to the school at Berrien Springs, and who can go, I earnestly advise such to take advantage of the present opportunities to obtain a better preparation for this grand work. Remember that tuition and tent rent are free. Board, $1.75 a week. Announcements giving full information can be obtained by writing to Prof. E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich. A. G. DANIELLS.
