The religious educational work of the Church in Canada is organised under the General Synod, the General Board of Religious Education being the officially appointed body for the promotion of this work. It began as a Sunday School Commission in 1908, but in 1918 was enlarged to a Board of Religious Education. Its work falls into five departments, namely: 1. _The Department of Parochial Education._ This department concerns itself with: (_a_) Religious education through the agency of the home. (_b_) Religious education through the agency of the Sunday School. (_c_) Religious education through the agency of Adult Bible Classes and Young People's organisations. 2. _The Department of Religious Education in Public and Private Schools._ This department concerns itself with religious education in public and high schools and in church boarding schools. 3. _The Department of Teacher Training._ This department concerns itself with: (_a_) The training of teachers and officers in the local Sunday School. (_b_) Teacher training in church boarding schools. (_c_) Training for leadership in provincial normal schools. (_d_) The training of students in our theological colleges in religious pedagogy. 4. _The Lantern Slide Department._ This department concerns itself with the promotion of educational work through the medium of the lantern in all branches of the Church's activities. 5. _The Editorial Department._ This department concerns itself with the providing of suitable material for use in the promotion of religious education through the other departments, including the preparation and publication of the necessary lesson helps for teachers and pupils. In connection with the work of the Parochial Department, an interesting attempt has been made to reach the people in the scattered districts through what is known as "The Sunday School by Post." This is practically the only way in which isolated families can be helped who are too far away to make attendance at Sunday school possible, and too few in numbers to support a school of their own. This Sunday School by Post sends out monthly and weekly graded lesson helps, each lesson having its own illustrations, questions, memory work, prayers, and Bible readings for each week. The parents are asked to see that the child has ample opportunity to do the written work, and this is returned to the Diocesan Secretary for the Sunday School by Post for examination and correction. Sunday School by Post secretaries are now working in the Dioceses of Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, Calgary, Edmonton, and Athabasca, and, now that the General Board of Religious Education has a western field secretary at work, in the person of the Rev. W. Simpson, it is hoped that other dioceses may be led to establish work similar to this to reach the church people in the more distant settlements.
