ART OF TEACHING.
The Right Hon. H. A. L. Fisher, M.P., President of th e English Board cf Education, in an address delivered in London recently, referred to the large number of teacher, 3 who had undergone courses of instruction in the art of teaching in Sunday schools. "I venture to think that there is no department of teaching in which such a course of instruction would be more valuable than Bible-iteaching in Sunday schools." They could not ta^e too many pains to improve their method of teaching the Bible, for there was no department in human knowledge in which teaching lagged so much behind. The voluntary teachns had the missionary impulse—all good teaching was really missionary in character. * What really mattered was not so much the information that a teacher imparted, but the character. "Teachers have only on c thing to give their pupils—themselves." He did not despise the kinema. "I think you can get a good deal from it. Nobody who went to see tthose wonderful films which depicted General Allenby's campaign in Palestine could not fail to cfirry away a good many ideas which might be helpful in Sunday school caching."
