APPENDIX D
AIDS FOR SUPERINTENDENT AND TEACHER
Junior Worker and Work
This book is of value to both superintendents and teachers. In it there are seven chapters that deal with various phases in the life of the junior child, at home, at school, at play, in the Sunday school and church. There are nine chapters that are concerned more or less directly with the teacher’s work in the school and between Sundays, such as: A Graded Course of Study, Correlated Lessons, Methods of Teaching, Story Telling, the Value of Handwork and Connecting Truth with Life. The superintendent will find help for problems of management, grading, organization, equipment, the department service of worship, the celebration of special days and in guiding the play life of the pupils.
Rainbow Bookmark
One of the first and most difficult of the tasks that a junior must perform is learning the names of the books of the Bible and its divisions. The bookmark, which has a ribbon for each division, is a help to the child, and it is of special value to the superintendent in varying the department drills and making them attractive.
Junior Badge
The open book, which is the form of the badge, suggests the Bible, and the words “Hear” and “Do” bring to mind the junior motto, “Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only.” The badge is silver enameled in the junior colors, blue and white. It is mentioned as an aid to superintendent and teacher because it has proved to be so great a help to the child in his character building. It appeals to his love of insignia; it enables him to show his colors without phariseeism, and is a silent monitor of great value in times of temptation.
Record of Credits
The average junior child must be stimulated by incentives if he is to form and fix in his life those habits which lie at the foundation of Christian character. Commendation for work well done is the highest type of reward, and to this reward every child who does good work is entitled. In order to be perfectly certain that credit is given where credit is due, an accurate record is necessary, and with this loose leaf record plan it is easy to keep accurately the credits of each pupil as well as of the class as a whole. Each leaf furnishes space for the pupil’s record for a year. Every class should have one leaf for each member and one for the record of the credits earned by the class. The leaves are so dated that the year’s work begins the first of October.
