Summer Assembly

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · May 5, 1903

JUNE 24 TO AUGUST 30, 1903

“The necessity of preparatory training for the teacher is universally admitted,” says Mrs. E. G. White, in her work entitled “Education.”

“What costly works of art, what splendid galleries of sculpture or of painting,” said Horace Mann, “are comparable in value to the treasures we have in the children?”

Dare we trust our children to untrained teachers? The world requires that its teachers be well qualified to teach. Shall Christian parents be satisfied with less?

Teachers in secular schools are ambitious to increase their efficiency. They attend the State normal, or some Chautauqua assembly, or they devote the vacation weeks to private lessons or special courses in some university.

Christian teachers should also have the privilege of special training.

Hundreds of men and women who have not yet entered the schoolroom should this season prepare to teach. God is calling them. He has a work for them, and they should prepare for it.

The summer assembly conducted by Emmanuel Missionary College at Berrien Springs, Mich., offers a special course of training for Christian teachers.

The principles of Christian education, and methods of teaching; manual training for the children; music, science, and other features of interest to teachers, will be thoroughly taught. Are you weak in some of the essential subjects taught in the primary or intermediate schools? Strengthen yourself by a course in the summer school.

Send for announcement. Address E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich.
