As I was traveling all alone, Along a snow-bound road I chanced to spy a little squirrel, And tho place of his abode. He seemed so very happy, - Contented as could be. With his little home well stored with nuts Within a hollow tree. A little farther on the way Wero some sparrows, lit on weeds. All dressed up in their coats of gray, A-pIcking out the seeds. Thus all of God's Bmall creatures A lesson to man do teach, Although In different features They are conveyed by each.

Abrahams, Editor) Correspondence for this column, from nil tlio Sunday Sunday School workers in tho county, Is earnestly request ed. Let ;ijs make, it n verit able Iloiinil TnbTc, evcryono being freoTb asR" or answer any questions relating to Sun' day School work. The Primary Department. Tho Primary Department of tho Sunday School cares for the children who are six, seven and eight years of ago. The characteristics of children of this department differ very much from those in either tho department proceeding or following this. These three years are years when the child's brain is growing rapidly and Is very susceptible to impressions. Tho body is never more active. The children of this department go to school and their vocabularies are wonderfully Increased yet their un derstanding of words is limited as comnared -with children in the Jun- ior department. Their experience is broadening as they come In contact with outside life. They cannot long keep their attention on any subject so the plan of work must be totally different from that of Juniors, yet more memory work can bo done than in the Beginners' department. After studying seriously the characteristics and needs of primary children we should see that our work meets those needs. The number of teachers In this department will dopendupon the number of scholars. If the number Is small one person may act as teacher and superintendent but where the number is large there should bo a teacher for every six or eight children as well as a super intendent in charge of the depart ment. A separate room for Primary people is very helpful. If they are In tho main room they are continu ally seeing something In another class which takes their attention from the lesson there is seldom opportunity to use a blackboard or pictures. Music and other exercises suited to the age of the little ones Is not possible when other classes are In the same room. If your school does not have separate room, and few of our schools do, provide the best sub stitute. A vestibule or a room In a neighbor's house may be used Perhaps the best substitute Is the screened corner of which wo spoke last week In our talk on the "Be- glnners Department. This room or corner should be made as attrae tive as possible. Small chairs are best for little children. The floor may be covered with carpet or mat ting and the walls and celling tint ed or papered. A musical Instru ment Is desirable though not an ab solute necessity. A blackboard of some kind Is necessary. This may be stationed on the wall or In a movable frame, or a piece of blackboard cloth may have a straight edge tacked at either edge and be hung oh the wall. Some teachers hesitate about procuring a blackboard feeling that if they had one they would not be artists enough to use it. But it does not need an artist. A person has the attention of a child as soon as he has a piece of chalk In his hand. You can put a dot or a square on the board and the child will clothe it in his imagi nation and make of it a man, a town, or any object you wish. Maps on a board may be used to great advantage. Horace said: " Those things which enter the mind through the eye make a much more vivid impression than those which enter it through the ear." If this be true every teacher should have and use a blackboard. Pictures for each quarter will be found helpful, and indeed, are al most a necessity. A birthday bank or some recepta cle for the offering Is needed. A session program should be care fully planned and systematically car ried out. It makes tho work easier and makes the best use of time. Mrs. Baldwin, our State Elementary Superintendent, gives the following suggested program: 1. Soft music. 2. Hand work. 3. Hymn of Praise. 4. Prayer service. 5. Fellowship service. Cradle Roll. Babies welcomed. Birthdays noted. Little strangers wel comed. G, Offering service. 7. Supplemental work If Uniform Lessons are used; not needed with Graded Lessons. 8. Song. 9. Lesson story. 10. Closing song or prayer. 11. Distribution of papers. 12. Teachers Conference. Tho best lessons are the Primary Graded Lessons. Write to your de nominntlonal publishing house for In formation In regard to them. All teachers who want to do their best for their scholars should use Graded Lessons. If your school still uses Uniform Lessons be sure to secure the Out lino for Supplemental Lessons to be used In connection with tho Uniform Lessons.
