Next Year's School

By F. G.

A VITAL question with every church-school teacher and school board at this time of the year is, “What arrangements shall be made for our school another year?” The arrangements for the continuation of our church-schools throughout the country ought not to be left until the summer and early fall. It certainly is as easy to arrange for them at the close of the year’s work as at any other time, and in many respects easier. Then as at no other time are the needs of the school clearly in mind. The teacher who is to conduct the school the coming year needs all the vacation to prepare for the work. Many plans that would otherwise not occur to her will suggest themselves if she has her definite work in mind. The financial support of the school can be definitely planned for and arranged much more satisfactorily because of the lengthened time in which to make preparation. Some of our church-schools have taken advantage of the “missionary acre” idea, and the patrons and pupils have set apart portions of land, the income from which has gone toward the support of the school. In many localities this idea is a valuable aid, but plans to this end have to be made in the spring. So from many points of view, it is wise to lay definite plans early for the success of the school the coming year. F. G.
