Excerpt from What Did Jesus Teach?: An Examination of the Educational, Material and Method of the Master Has Christianity failed? Or only its isms'? What did Jesus teach? Those who pledged themselves to undertake this course were organized into seventy-two discussion groups. These groups arranged to meet once a week under the direction of a leader at fraternity houses, dormitories, classrooms, and the committee rooms of the Houston (student's) Club. The leaders were enlisted from the faculty men, Christian Association secretaries, older students, and extramural friends of the University, and the conduct of a normal class for training the leaders was assigned to me as the representative of our School of Education. The study groups were composed of Jews, Catholics, Protestants Of numerous shades Of belief, and not a few who liked to call themselves agnostics. It was well, therefore, that it had been planned to limit the discussion to the essential teachings of Jesus, and to exclude as far as possible all extraneous and sectarian matter. Taken as a whole, the campaign seems to have been a conspicuous success. Even in the normal-training class it was felt by several that a new point of view concerning the sub ject had been developed, and that this ought to be published. It was believed that the material in printed form might be of service in similar campaigns, state reading-circle courses, Chautauquas, round tables, Sun day-school classes, and even the programs of schools, colleges, and universities.
