No'tlier of those forms of Instruction has been adequate or even satisfact ory. In the Church Normal school Similarly we explained the carvings in the church and told them that the black gown of the priest stood for his separation from the world, and that the white he wore was for puri ty. So we continued until finally we had established a definite Christian nurture course. Now 150,000 chil dren are being trained along Christ ian nurture lines, and it is to increase the efficiency of their teachers that we plan thru the church's nation wldo campaign these church normal schools."
