THE SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT FOR UNION COLLEGE.
(Of interest to church officers and church school teachers.) The spring term of Union College begins March 7, and continues twelve weeks. The special feature of the work during this time will be the preparation of teachers for church schools, hence every church should be deeply interested. In Union College district there are about five hundred churches. How many of these are getting ready for a church school next fall? The Lord has said that where there are six children that can be got together, there should be a church school. Are there that many children in your church who ought to be in school? Will your church be ready for a school next fall? Is there an earnest, consecrated young man or woman in your church who, with a few weeks of faithful preparation, would be prepared to engage in teaching? If these things are so, then the most important work of your church is to look after the education of these children, and to encourage—if necessary help—this young man or woman in securing the needed preparation to carry forward this work. Union College will furnish good accommodations, and a most interesting practical course of instruction for all who come. Here are a few of the special classes that will be formed during this term, which will be of great help to every teacher: special Bible study, nature study, child study, methods of teaching, bookkeeping, singing, sloyd work, hygienic cooking, and hydrotherapy. Careful instruction will also be given in school government, school organization, the use of textbooks, etc. The District Conference will be held here, from March 1-10, and all who are planning to come should engage rooms as early as possible. The Practical Educator for February is a special church school number, and contains full announcements concerning the work of the term. If you are not a subscriber, write for a sample copy. The Lord has wonderfully blessed the work of Union College this year, and all are anxious that the influence of these blessings shall reach as far as possible. We shall be glad to hear from all who are interested, and will take pleasure in giving any information concerning this work that we can. Address W. T. Bland, Union College, College View, Neb.
