(2) _Attractive._ The school should be attractive as well as efficient. Its meeting place should be cheerful and airy, with suitable furniture and apparatus, above ground, and not a damp, dingy basement. It should have enjoyable exercises, like a school, yet not too severely like a public school. It should greet new members heartily, make them feel at home, and cultivate acquaintance with them. There should be an animating spirit of loyalty and love for the school; a devotion which will inspire active effort in its behalf. Around the school should be the atmosphere of a happy home. (3) _Prominent._ Among the activities of the church the school should stand forth prominently. It should be kept in mind that, as the neighborhood furnishes the constituency of the school, so the school furnishes the members for the church. In our time three fourths of the accessions by profession of faith come from the Sunday school. The school should be held in honor as the principal source of supply to the church membership. If the audience room is large and imposing, and the Sunday-school room is inferior and unattractive; if the pulpit and the choir are amply supported while the school receives a narrow sustenance, however great the prosperity of the church its duration will be brief. The Sunday school must stand in the foreground, and not in the background, if the church is to grow; and the growing church should have a growing Sunday school. (4) _Special Occasions._ Throughout the Sunday-school year occur days which should be recognized, as breaking the monotony of the regular exercises, and as attractive features of the school. Such are Christmas, Easter, Children's Day in June, Rally Day in the fall, and Decision Day, when the net is drawn for discipleship in behalf of the church. Some superintendents look upon these occasions as burdensome, but with careful preparation and an attractive program they will add to the interest of the school, while in no wise detracting from the efficiency of its educational work. An occasional social entertainment for the school, or for each department in turn, and an outing day in the summer, will strengthen that _esprit de corps_ or animating spirit of the school which is its strongest drawing power in attracting new members.
