SUNDAY SCHOOL METHODS.
SUNDAY SCHOOL METHODS. TIlE meetings 01 the Synods have once again raised the question oi the Sunday Schools. In Wales the Sunday School is a dliferent institution to that 'n England and, as Professor Levi very ngiitly indicated at an Aberystwyth ilicctiiig, the Brotherhood movement I can secure no support in rural Wales because those whom it would reach are already in the Sunday Schools. But the statistics show rise and fall. Year by year they fluctuate, and year by year we either rejoice or lament over the returns, seeking on the one hand a reason and on the other an excuse. But what are the figures on which these returns are based ? They are made up by the secretary, a much-harassed in- dividual, who only in one case in 100 is equipped for his work with knowledge, experience, or even with the proper books. His figures are made up with great pains and care, but for their accuracy he is dependent on memories and chance conversations. Xo business can exist on the methods which are deemed good enough for the Sunday School. Why, then, do think- ing men and women, of whose sincerity there can be no doubt, allow such methods to continue, and actually per- petuate them year by year from a false sentimentality ? The secretary is equally as important a person as the superintendent—but how many schools recognise this ? How manv allow the secretary a free hand to purchase equip- ment which he must have if he is to do his work properly? It has again to be emphasised that it is on the work of the secretary that the figures depend, and on the figures not only the world, but the church, too, is ready to base its conclusions. In the average Sunday school of 100 to 300 scholars it is a safe assumption that apart from a book, kept either by a general registrar or by individual teachers solely for re- cording presence or absence, there is no book in existence that shows when any child joined the school its exact age what school it came from when it joined the church; and, what is more important, to what school it went when it left. Yet these things are vital to the very life of the school. The pastor cannot go and seek a scholar unless he knows, at least, the correct name and age of the child he is seeking. The laxity in passing from school to school is an acknowledged source of drift fatal drift. That laxity might be over- come bv simply providing the secretary with the proper books, and transferring from one school direct to another with- out break of attendance. Frequently it is not done, and frequently the cause is because there is no unfilled column, the very existence of which compels action on the part of officials who, being human, are apt to overlook the fact that the scholar has left. Proper methods prevent leakage. From the remotest parts of the country a youth or maid can be passed to London or the great provincial cities by a stroke of the pen. This refers to Sunday School membership as distinct from church membership—yet it is very often thought that the church transfer covers all. It does not, and because it does not the schools lose promising members at the springtime of life. This is not written in the spirit of criticism; but with a genuine desire to see the business side of the Sunday School given a chance. The service of the Master deserves the best—the best even in business methods as in preaching and teaching. The schools are alive to the latter, but there is always suspicion cast on any improvement in the business methods. The book-rooms of the various denom- inations are not well equipped in this matter. This is a fact which cannot be denied. In theological works they are unrivalled, but the Sunday Schools must have up-to-date books which will, after initial work, provide the minister and the school with reliablcfig-ures at a minute's notice. Such books are obtainable at low prices. The Forward Movement is reaching the populous parts of South Wales as
---A "MOVING" WORD.
A "MOVING" WORD. Thank you for taking the trouble to turn to this new position. One never likes "moving"; but it is very gratifying to find that the old position was so attractive to a national advertiser. On this point: I met a man in London recently who showed me his paper and said, "You know I help the advertisers to draft their adver- tisements. I did this—and this." I could only answer that I was willing to do so, and had done so in some cases. But that word "some" stuck to me after he had gone. Why "some"? Why not "all" ? I know what you are thinking, ^Oh, I know as well as you do." rrankiy I. quite agree; but you Know the old adage about two heads—even if the one now offered is a sheep's head. Perhaps it will prove to be something more. Will you accept help in drafting your advertisement. If you will mav I offer mine ? R. READ, Managing Editor, "Cambrian News."

no other movement has done. In a particular school the scholars were re- turned as 450. There were over 540 in attendance, but there was no record of them on the secretary's books. A second secretary took up the purely- statistical side, and in one year that school showed a primary department of 260, 860 on the roll and 770 in regular attendance. The minister had every child's age and name in a special book indexed for every street in the neigh- bourhood and no chiid came without filling in an entrance form or left with- out an adequate reason duly recorded. That school is probably the largest in the town by this time, and it is built on a sure foundation. The principles apply to the small as well as the large, and these principles can be steadUy applied in every town and village. When they are there will be less talk of "decline in Sunday Schools.
WAR SAVINGS.
WAR SAVINGS. THE first annual report of the National W ar Savings Committee has been issued, from which it appears that up to March 1st of the present year the Committee had formed in England and WTales over 1,100 local committees and over 26,000 war savings associations,in addition to an unknown number of un- affiliated associations. Of this number only 157 local committees and 1,287 war savings associations had been brought into existence by the end of June, 1916, while over 10,000 new associations were formed during January and Feb- ruary, 1917, a remarkable tribute to the national enthusiasm. During the first months of the war, from August to December, 1914, small in- vestors were withdrawing from the State more than they were depositing. During the next twelve months, from January to December, 1915, the amount contributed by the small investor aver- aged £()OO,oÖo weekly. In the follow- ing year the rate still further increased to ^1,600,000 per week, a marked in- crease being registered from July onwards. In the two months, January and February, 1917, including Post Office subscriptions for the five per cent. war loan, and allowing for with- drawals from the savings banks, the total subscriptions of tne small investor were at least ,("10,000,000. Since the beginning of the war the sum invested by small investors amounted to i; I 18, 179,000. There are now in England and Wales on the books of war savings associations between two and three million members, drawn mainly from the ranks of those who formerly did not save. Another excel- lent lesson was impressed by the Com- mittee's propaganda which pointed out the prime importance of a general reduction in consumption, the appeal being made on patriotic grounds to rich and poor alike. Women's organisa- tions, political, social, and religious organisations rendered conspicuous service. It is interesting to compare -the records of Welsh counties up to March 1 st. Anglesea had established 44 associations; C Brecknock, 4; Cardi- gan, 13S Carmarthen, 186 Carnar- von, 63 Denbigh, 89 Flint, 20 Glamorgan, 712 Merioneth, 55 Mon- mouth, 221 Montgomery, 42 Pem- broke, 55 and Radnor, 29. It will be observed that in the number of associations formed Cardganshire takes a creditable position. In regard to amounts, it is worthy of special note that the countv heads the list, the figures per head being seven-fold higher than the next highest county in England and Wales. Truly a noble record.
----------------------EDITORIAL…
EDITORIAL NOTES. The Premier has added to his former triumphs as conciliator in bringing the deplor- able strike of British engineers to an end. There were faults on both sides, and its out- break was the result of a policy of repression. By bringing the strike to an end Mr. Lloyd George has earned the gratitude of his country. One of those mean-spirited individuals who, for their own profit, adulterate the children's milk, was properly dealt with at a London court when a fine of £100, or three months imprisonment, was imposed on a man who had added water to the extent of thirty-one per cent, to the milk. A few substantial penalties of this kind would convince offenders that this form of rascality does not pay. The resignation of Towyn Tribunal is gener- ally condoned in the district. The position of members who devote long hours to sifting evidence of the fitness or unfitness of appellants when they find their decisions overruled is a curious one, and, judging by their record in former disputes, Towyn and Aberdovey public men are not made of the stuff that will take such treatment meekly. The exercise of a Iii tIe tact and consideration on both sides would go far to obviate such occurrences..
