Excerpt from The Teacher-Training Handbook Revised: First Standard Teacher-Training Course Scarcely second in importance to adequate preparation for teaching is a vision of the dignity, importance and possibili ties which the Sunday School teacher enjoys. No teacher in any institution of learning comes more directly in touch with the formative and constructive principles of human life and character. The subject matter taught, the conditions of the teaching, and the issues dependent on good teaching and bad teaching are the most momentous and, important to be found in any department of human instruction. For this reason, the vision of the Sunday School is followed in order with a vision of the mind with which the Sunday School teacher must deal. The influence of the modern Sun day School begins in the home.

Until the last problem which vexes maturity and age is solved, the Sunday School claims a right to deal with the human mind. The technical view of the mind and its develop ment is subordinated, throughout the discussion of the pupil.
