young IT men and abacut sixty young men as pupils of ihie class and of the M I 1 association I 1 am sure bome such impression has glae ont as that referred to hy president smith my experience with sabbath schools primary associations ward meetings and even conferences is that the sisters attend in overwhelming majorities thesa improved methods for educational progress are certainly not tor men alone and another term I 1 will venture to say there will be a great many mera of the sisters resent I 1 have long felt the importance of the AI I 1 associations as public aduca and the necessity ef having system to and a definite object in view of a class of studies that had auf scope to command respect and waa simple enough IQ b within the of the students wh have not had educational advantages this class 1 suppose is a model adaa cia tion aa much as abe B Y A is a model school and when you have fin your course here yon trill be to teach on this ampt plan and conduct your home associations

d fiat there are many of aur people who attend abeso associations with very well idea that they were intended as places of entertainment more places of instruction it be a clasa ef hard siu denta who having prepared subjects at home meet together to give and receive lesht mutual improvement in very deed and irule mutually improving and benefiting each other aur sabbath schools are not doing half the they might cst making that rapid and steady advancement chich they might with the bame amount of time and energy that is now spent in them if their studies were graded and and every sunday marked
