1021 laptfet #ummpr AsH^mbltPa Issued jointly by Division of Summer Assembly Promotion American Baptist Publication Society Thomas B. Frizelle, Director 1701 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. Department of Missionary Education Baptist Board of Education William A. Hill, Secretary 276 Fifth Ave., New York City FOREWORD HE SUMMER ASSEMBLIES furnish an unequalled opportunity for the rare combination of recre¬ ation in the great out-of-doors and of worth while training. During these delightful days in the open, Christian young people have the gratifying conscious¬ ness that they are making the summer vacation count toward their more efficient service. Those who are dreaming of rendering more than ordinary Christian service, of being more than average workmen, of entering upon a Christian ministry of more than mediocre leadership, ought to plan to attend one of these splendid schools of religious training. A trained Christian leadership is the out¬ standing need of the times in which we live. Tomorrow’s world looks to the Parents, Pastors, Teachers, to so guide, encourage and inspire our youth that they will now seek the needed preparation for tomorrow’s leadership. To bring about these results, the principle of selective conscription is recommended. We urge that churches shall not only send dele¬ gates to the Summer Assemblies, but that these delegates be encouraged to select definite courses of study to the end that they may return to put to the best possible use the methods gained at the Assemblies. Delegates should be selected with a view to their fitness for the task and opportunity made for them to render this service upon their return. Members of Church delegations are urged not to take identical courses, but to distribute themselves among the various departments so as to bring back to the local Church the great¬ est contribution possible. SUGGESTED STANDARD CURRICULA A COMMITTEE is now at work upon the preparation of correlated curricula for Summer Assemblies. In the meantime, the following suggestions for courses may be of value to such Assemblies as may not have made arrangements. The general divisions of a Summer Assembly program should include a. Bible. h. Mission Study. c. Sunday School Work. d. Young People’s Work. Other courses may be added at the option of the Assembly Committee. For all Assemblies desiring to arrange their program on the basis of a three-year progressive coordinated schedule, the following arrangement is suggested: Subject First Year Second Year Third Year 1. Bible. 2. Missionary Education. 3. Psychology and Peda¬ gogy. 4. Young People’s IFork. 5. Sunday School IFork. General Survey. Foreign Mission Study Work. Child Study. Organization.

We further suggest that special programs be arranged for Bible Study, Alissionary Education, Teacher Training, Departmentalized Work of Sunday School, etc., for which special credits will be issued. Other features may be added to fit the need of special groups, as Ministers, Parents, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire leaders. World Wide Guilds, etc. SUGGESTED DAILY SCHEDULE •7 :00 —Breakfast. 8:00 —Family Prayer at table—IS minutes.
