Excerpt from Church-School Administration For the practical superintendent, for the pastor and director seeking the best in methods of local religious education, for the student of church-school method, and for the teacher in need of a class text on church-school administration, this book is written. It embodies views, experiences and convictions gathered in thirty-six years of active Sunday-school work, field and local; and it aims withal to represent the latest viewpoints and standards of our rapidly changing church-school situation, and to forecast the further changes which now impend. I have tried not to forget the situation and needs in the little Sunday-school of the rural and frontier fields, whose workers constitute so large and significant a section of our. Sunday-school army. The principles laid down, and most of the precepts, are for them no less than for the worker in the church school of city size and departmental development. But for the specific study of little-school problems as such, the reader is referred to my earlier book, "How to Run a Little Sunday School." The treatment starts with a general view of the steps needful in organizing the school for efficiency of operation.
