Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School in the Modern Church "Sunday School" is the title to which four generations have been accustomed; no one who knows the field of religious education can doubt that the next generation will use a new title. The change to the name "Church School" is significant, however, only because it indicates developments in the scope and functions of the school. These developments seem to call for a practical exposition which will aid any school to enter into the fulness of its opportunities. These chapters on the ideals and the practical problem? of the new type of school are not written so much for the schools consciously marching in the vanguard, and those schools which know they are "new" and up-to-date as for those which, while accepting and following the newer methods, still must struggle with inadequacy of equipment, meagre support, and ignorance and indifference, resulting in a lack of team-play on the part of their churches. I have tried to keep in mind schools which I have known in suburban areas, in the country-side and in villages, the kind of schools that would include probably between eighty and ninety per cent of all the Sunday schools in North America.
