THERE are now in attendance at Union College a large number of earnest young women who are fitting themselves for church school work. A number of these have been successful teachers in the public schools; others are making careful preparation in methods and plans of work. From those who are now here we shall be able to select a large number of first-class teachers. But there are in Union College district alone about five hundred churches, and we fear that we shall not be able to supply the demand that will come in next fall for trained teachers. In view of this fact, it has been decided to devote the spring term of twelve weeks largely to the training of teachers for church school work. Special classes will be organized in child study, methods of teaching, school arrangements and school management, nature study, Bible study, and kindred subjects. The teachers will also have access to the regular college classes, or to any of the preparatory classes, for review. There will be no special summer term at Union College. It is believed that it will be far better to do this work when the college is in regular session. All the college teachers are present at this time to give instruction, whereas during a vacation school only a few could be retained. Much better work can be done than could be expected during the hot summer months. The teachers will also be able to catch the spirit and inspiration of real college work, which in itself is of considerable value. The term will open March 7, and continue until the first of June. There should be a large number present at the opening. The District Conference begins March 1, and those desiring to attend these meetings should come one week early. Every church that desires a school next year should, if possible, send some one here to be instructed and trained for the work during this term. For special information, address W. T.
