CHAPTER XXIII CREATING CLASS SPIRIT OUTLINE--CHAPTER XXIII The "pull" of a good class.--The appeal of an attractive classroom.--Making it "our room."--The teacher and class spirit.--Capitalizing on the leadership of the class.--Stimulating free participation.--Out of class activities.--Some possibilities. There is a "pull" to certain classes--a pull that has all the force of a magnet. Pupils not only go to such a class willingly, but anticipate with pleasure the approach of the recitation hour. When duty is coupled with pleasure, there is a force for righteousness that is beyond measure. Of the various factors that contribute to the creation of a class spirit, the following are offered as being among the most helpful. 1. _An Attractive Classroom._ While it is true that most of the organizations in the Church do not have surplus funds for beautifying their buildings, and while it is equally true that many a good lesson has been conducted on the dirt floors of long cabins, it is equally true that rooms can be beautified, and that pleasant surroundings can be made a potent force in holding to our organizations the men and women and boys and girls of the Church. Of course, elaborate, expensive decorations ought to be discouraged. Simplicity always is more consistent with the spirit of worship than is extravagance. But contrast the difference in effect on children of a bare, untidy, makeshift room as against a cozy room decorated with a few beautiful pictures or draperies and made homelike with comfortable seats and tidy arrangement.
