"SUNDAY SCHOOL TKAOIIKIl AND
HIS METHODS.'
Paper lU-ntl by Miss Clark Ik-forc
(ho Convention nt Dniiinscus.
To know God nnd to como Into
loving porsonal relationship
with him Is ns much the
right of every child ns to know Its
own parents nnd this alono Is tho
true christian life." Since this
knowledge nnd friendship menns so
much to tho child It Is of course
tho duty of ench follower of Christ
to bring every child nenror his Sav
ior nnd Mnster. This must bo done
by giving this child a knowledge of
tho Bible nnd by showing Christ
revealed in us. Some knowledge
will be acquired in tho home but it
is usunlly left tor tho sundny school
to give tho systematic study of
God's word.
How imiiortant then is tho work
of the teacher to whom this charge
Is given. Yet there are many
tcachurs who do not realizo this,
ninny who are on record as teachers
who nro not tenchers in fact, or
who do not really know what teach
ing Is. It Is not, however, the pur
pose of this paper to criticize those
who are trying to do work along
this lino but, if possible to give a
few hints that wo hope may bo of
use to sonio one.
In the first plnco tho teacher
should have a knowledge of his pu
pil, his lesson, nnd how to present
that lesson.
He must know whom ho Is to
teach; not merely know his schol
ars by sight, know them by name,
know them so that he can greet
them ns acquaintances, but ho must,
know them in their Individual ca
pacities, attainments and needs.
The teacher must study each
scholar as to the measure of his
knowledge. There Is more of nn Ig
norance of ordinary things among
children than is commonly sup
posed. Then, too, the teacher must know
his pupils' personnl tastes and per
cularities. The hopeless lnck of nbllity to
see differences in Individual scholars
is the cause of failure of some good
men nnd women to bo teachers
however much they want to teach
and however often they are given
a trial. To them a clnss is a class
and a scholar a scholnr and every
lesson to be taught in one and the
same way. But such a person is
no eacher.
The true teacher looks for little
peculiarities which make his schol
ars different from others. He asks
himself, Is he exceptionally bright
or dull or of average Intelligence?
Does he know the main points in
the Bible story or Is he ignorant of
that record? Is he ready to tell
what he knows or is ho quiet? Has
ho a kindly disposition with a gen
erous manly nature? And Is he
easily influenced? From such
questions as these he will be able
to see his individual scholars.
Then, too, he must know some
thing of the scholars' home-life, his
weaknesses, his strength and his
personal beliefs.
If a scholar is a total abstainer
but is inclined to use profanity ,ho
should be treated quite differently
from tho scholar who is the re
verse. It will require time and effort to
gain this necessary knowledge but
the teacher who does not have time
to study his scholars Individually
will not have time to teach them In
tellectually. Next to the knowledge of the
child comes a knowledge of the
special truth to bo taught to him.
it is obvious that we can not
cause another that which wo do not
know ourselves. For this reason it
Is the duty of every teacher always
to study. He can never come to
any wall that means the end of
progress. There is always a land
beyond and no teacher should ever
feel that knowledge enough had been
obtained. When he ceases to study
ho should also cease to teach.
One of the wisest of Germany's
great men, Geotho, snid of tills:
There is nothing more frightful
than a teacher who knows only
what his scholars are Intended to
know."
In order to study well each teach
er should have a plan for study. The
nnswers to tho three questions,
What? Why? and What of it? may
be taken up or the flvo W's, When?
Where? Whom7 What? and Why?
None of these should be followed
blindly. Perhaps tho best plan is
to study first, tho simple text of the
lesson, then tho plain teachings of
tho text, then the applications of
those teachings.
When he goes beforo his class the
teacher should have somo facts of
Geography, of Chronology nnd man
ners nnd customs of the people.
In beginning tho third step, that
of presenting tho lesson, the tench
or must secure attention of the
class. Everyone recognizes tho fact
that in a game of baseball tho field
er who gave no attention to the
batsman would be of little use.
Attention Is no less a necessity
In tho more serious business of get
ting knowledge than in tho games
and sports of life.
It Is possible to teach a person
who lacks brightness, who lacks
knowledge, who lacks a good dis
position, but utterly Impossible to
teach n scholar who lacks attention
An Important question then Is How
to get and hold the attention of the
pupil.
Thero are some teachers who by
their very attitude command atten
tlon but theso aro Indeed few nnd
with teachers generally tho secur
lng of attention must be by some
other means than an Imposing pres
ence. Most teachers must secure the at
tention by awakening the Interest
of his boys and girls. Often tho
very first eentenco uttered has thq
desired effect.
A blackboard will do much for a
toachor in this direction for any
child Is interested In movomonts of
tho arm and' hand.
A slmplo call "Now" may prove
offectlvo to a weii-trainea class
Unexpected questions, especially
if they sot each to competing with
the others such as "Who can tell
mo how many different places aro
mentioned In to-day's lesson? Who
Immediately draw attention.
The nttontlon onco secured It Is
Important thnt tho teacher watch for
any flngglng of Interest on tho part
of tho scholar and bo prompt In re
calling It. In this matter ho must
hnvo the co-operation of tho pupil
and tho habit of attention must bo
formed.
The attention of tho class having
been secured tho toachor may pre
sent the truths of tho lesson. In
doing this his nno nlm must be to
mnko himself clear. To this end ho
should first try to find his scholars
lovel and sharo his sympathy.
Tho story should bo told simply
and slowly; then questions may bo
given to sco if scholars hnvo form
ed right Impressions.
Illustrations may bo used here but
they should always bo simple nnd
within the child's oxperlenco. Tho
teacher should shun symbols as a
child can lmngino a miracle much
sooner than ho can understand a
parable. Mrs. Edward Walker tells
of hearing n clergyman explain In
an address to children that Christian
ministers nro tho salt of the earth.
After ho had shown tho value of
salt In its power to keep victuals
from spoiling he", told of the good
work of ministers In aiding 'to pre
serve tho world from total corrup
tion. Tho children understood both
parts of tho address but they could
not run them together properly.
When he concluded his address wjth
the question, "Why thou aro minis
ters the salt of tho earth?" they
answered, not unnaturally, "Be
cause they keep victuals from spoil
ing." And that Is a air illustration
of tho danger ol speaiung in par
nbles. The help of the eye should be
sought by tho tencher in his effort
nt making clear the truth he would
tench. Maps anil pictures anu otn
er visible helps nro important.
With scholars who read, tho di
recting of their attention to tho
Bible text itself, together with the
teachers' explanation can be made
to help a great deal. Then, too,
showing tho scholar other passages
In tho Bible which throw light on
the subject will help. A teacher
may interest his scholars In prophecy
by showing the Old Testament
prophecy and then to fullfllnient in
tho now.
During this process of making
clear, three classes of questions may
bo asked, questions that exercise the
thinking power, questions upon the
words of tho lesson and questions
that develop tho spiritual truth. He
should llnd out what the text says,
what it means, and what it teaches
along this line. The questions In
the lesson helps should not be fol
lowed blindly. They are intended
more for help in study than in re
citation. As a teacher questions he
should know what answer he wishes
to receive. If an answer Is given,
although it is riot what he expect
ed, if it lias a grain of truth in it,
that truth should bo recognized.
Then another question may be given
to bring out the desired answer.
At the beginning and end of each
lesson as well as at tho end of the
quarter tho teacher should review.
When a teacher has tried to teach
some particular thing ho will not
find this difficult. At every review
the teacher should Ssk himself,
"What have my pupils gained dur
ing this quarter?" And at the close
of each lesson, "Can they recall the
main facts of tho lesson?" Whether
the result Is gratifying or not re
views should be held often. Per
haps one-fourth to one-third of the
time should bo taken In this way
for without frequent reviews the
truths onco learned most thoroughly
are liable to pass from our minds.
We have spoken thus far only of
the teaching work of tho Sunday
school teacher, but the teaching
work is by no means his most im
portant work. Milton held that he
who would be a poet must first him
self be a poem. So he who would
teach truth and reproduce truth
must himself first be truth. He must
bo centered In God must be an
overflowing from God to those to
whom he goes.
If his earnest wish is to influence
his scholars to a personal love of
Jesus, he will manifest that desire
In all that he says and does. If
ho wishes his scholars to be truthful
and honorable and in tho best sense
manly ho will make every Bible
truth or Bible precept which bears
on tho subject, very clear to them.
Wo should remember that we have
both conscious and uncdnsclous in
iluence. That while wo are trying
to impress some truth along the
line of our Intended Influence we
are also inlluenclng in an uncon
scious manner. This unconscious
Influence emanates from the teach
er's very character, disclosing Itself,
with his thoughts, In his actions,
manners and Incidental words, also
In his looks and the varying expres
sion of his countenance. The teach
er will have power for Christ just
in proportion as tho character anu
life of Christ aro revealed In him.
Tho height of tho teachers' art.
therefore, Is found In the possibility
of personal character.
It ecems only natural that the
teacher should Influence more by
what he does seven days In the week
than by what he says In one. There
fore, In order to do his best teach
ing a man must be tho best man he
can bo. Dr. Work says: "Life Itself
Is more powerful than any method.
Example 1b tho supremo thing, in
fluence Is tho greatest privilege.
Therefore It is that charactor Is the
teachers' final endowment, Thero la
no finished art for tho teacher who
has not learned that above and bo
ncath all methods is that subtle
crasn of soul upon soul which im
perfectly wo describe na Influence,
magnetism, personnl weight or favor.
Ho indeed Is tho hiding of the
teacher's power. Knowing this tho
toachor, desiring to glorify nnd ro-
flno his art, will put many toucnes
of mallet and chisel upon his own
character."
Then with this Influence should go
a lovo for one's scholars. Tho teach
er should lovo eatjh scholar wUh a
lov0 that recognizes ovory child aB a
follow creature, a porsonal object of
tho lovo of God and ono who Is very
dear to Jesus. Unless he has this
love and shows It In his work with
his scholars ho lacks one thing with
out which all else must go to naught
tho great nlm of tho teachers' work
but wo must not forget thnt thero
Is ono great nlm. Every teacher
comes to his scholars a representa
tive of Christ and as such it Is his
duty to hnvo as his end nnd aim, tho
end nnd aim of Him whom ho rep
resents. "To this end Christ died
nnd lived again, that ho might be
Lord of both the living nnd tho
dead." Tho bringing of tho scholar
then Into tho fnlth and likeness of
Jesus Is tho only proper nlm of tho
Sundny school tenchers' endeavors.
We should realize then thnt the work
Is lmportnnt nnd therefore resifynsi
blo. For the scholars whom the
tencher hns In charge ho Is respifrf-1
siuie to uou. tho evidences ot re
sponsibilities nnd the mnnner of Its
discharge will bo disclosed qofojw'.. -
the universe. In tho thought of this
every teacher ought to love, ought
to work, ought to pray and ought to
trust.

Suppressing tlio Hesslnn Fly
On account of tho warm weather.
which prevailed in the first two weeks
of September the sowing of wheat
was deferred by many Pennsylvania
farmers until tho latter part of tho
month. But little wheat was sown
beforo September 20. Many farmcrs'tal gains thnn those fed corn stov
decided that they would not sow un
til after Sept. 25, and somo conclud
ed to wait until the first week in
Octobor. They thus decided because
of fearing the damaging of the wheat
by tho Hessian fly.
Concerning this matter, Prof. II. I
A. Surface, State Zoologist, gave the
following information to a corre-
spondent
"Replying to your Inquiry asking
what to do to prevent tho Hessian
fly in wheat, I can say that the only
practical means Is to avoid early
planting. After having studied the
subject In a practical manner In this
stnto for several years, I am con
vinced that planting beforo tho 20th
of September In any part of the state
Is sure to invite the attacks of this
pest. Certain farm practices can be
observed to help suppress it. For
example, volunteer grain should be
turned down, or destroyed, so as not
to carry It from any plants which
come up from seeds scattered In har
vest time and left growing.
"A good way to catch this pest Is
to sow a strip of wheat In the latter
part of August, and after tho eggs
are laid abundnntly in it, or toward
tho latter part of September, turn
this down and put it In order, and
reseed It for the crop you wish to
reap next summer. This Is what Is
called planting a trap crop. A trap
crop Is of no use unless the trap
is destroyed. In fact, you can see
that It Is worse than none at all as
it would be a breeding place for the
fly.

"In sovernl enscs I havo had op
portunity to compnro early and Into
fnll planting, and In all cases I find
the brooding places of tho Hessian
fly to bo worse In tho early planting.
Ono can safely wait In this state, as a
rule, until sometime In October, and,
of course, tho later It Is delayed tho
more sure he Is to nvold the attack
of the fly. Howover, as said above,
the 'earliest one can do seeding, and
bo Biiro thero is no serious danger of
Injury by this pest, is tho 20th of
September. It is out of the question
to suppress tho fly by treating the
whe.at or tho soil with any chemicals
or processes. It does not attack the
groin but tho growing stalk, and for
that reason seed treatment and "soli
treatment do no good."
.SILAGE FOR FATTENING STEERS.
A moderate amount of silage fed
to fnttenlng animals improves tho
appetite and general health. Some
expdrlmdnts have been made to de
termine as far as possible, tho feed
ing value of silage to fattening ani
mals At tho Pennsylvania Experiment
station when corn silage was com-
!pare'u7wlth corn stover for fattening
steers it was found thnt "tho steers
-fqd corn silage mado more economl-
or." and "showed a better coat and
more thrifty appearance," These
steers were fed broken car corn and
cottonseed meal In connection with
tho corn silage and corn stover A
liberal silago ration was found to
be more economical than a limited
one when fed In this manner The
steers getting tho largest amount
would eat only about 15 pounds of
f,lla;ro per day. The Indiana Ex
perimental station states tha Torn
rllase may profitably be uted as a
portion of the ration In finishing
steers." "A ration composed of
aliclledcorn, cottonseed meal and
corn silage without hay proved to be
most efficient ration tested for fat
tening two-year-old steors, as shown
by the rate of gain, cost of gain and
finish of the cattle. At the Ohio
station, It was found that silage
could be used to good advantage In
fattening cattle when stover and hay
wero high in price. No difference
In the finish of silago fed and doted-
cattle was apparent.
Recent experiments at other sta
tions seem to give similar results.
Silage Is each year used more ex
tensively by practical feeders with
almost unanimously good results,
