The average junior child must be stimulated by incentives if he is to
form and fix in his life those habits which lie at the foundation of
Christian character. Commendation for work well done is the highest type
of reward, and to this reward every child who does good work is entitled.
In order to be perfectly certain that credit is given where credit is
due, an accurate record is necessary, and with this loose leaf record
plan it is easy to keep accurately the credits of each pupil as well as
of the class as a whole. Each leaf furnishes space for the pupil’s record
for a year. Every class should have one leaf for each member and one for
the record of the credits earned by the class. The leaves are so dated
that the year’s work begins the first of October.
Honor Roll
In order that the boys and girls who are entitled to honor shall receive
public recognition, a wall roll upon which the names may be posted
every month is most desirable. It is possible to write the names on
a blackboard or on a sheet of bristol board and so bring them into
notice, but it is much better to add to the beauty of the room and at
the same time make the honor seem more worthwhile by having the names
inscribed in a framed Honor Roll, with the name and design attractively
lettered and colored. In the best of these rolls the mat carries the
name and decoration and this is fastened to the frame while the back is
detachable, and there are many extra sheets provided so that a new one
may be inserted whenever it is necessary to change the roll.
Promotion Certificates
The last day in September is always a promotion day for each pupil in
every thoroughly graded school. In some cases the promotion is from one
grade to another within a department, but it is quite as important that
the fact of such progression should be noted as it is to give a diploma
to the child who completes the junior course. A different card has been
prepared for each year, with place for noting whatever honors have been
earned in addition to the required work.
Diplomas
It is difficult for adults to realize how much a diploma given by the
Sunday school is valued by the child who has earned it. The pupil who
is honorably promoted from any one department of the school to the next
should be given a diploma duly inscribed, rolled and tied with the
junior colors, and publicly presented by the pastor of the church or the
superintendent of the Sunday school. It is quite essential, where honors
are given for extra memory or handwork, that these should be noted on the
diploma. On some of the recent diplomas certain honors are designated
giving an opportunity to star those that have been won by each pupil.
