3. _He should be his Pastor’s Index Rerum_; not his mentor, but his
reference, to which he can turn for information concerning affairs in
that portion of the church represented by the school. Sick children to be
visited, poverty to be helped with true charity, anxious souls looking
for the Savior, these and many similar are within the superintendent’s
knowledge oft times, when unknown to the pastor. To bring them to the
pastor’s knowledge is an evident duty.
4. _That of Harmony._ The pastor and superintendent should agree. The
school should have no plans or methods contrary to the pastor’s desires.
Church and school should walk the same path, and in it go hand in hand.
III. _His duties to his Teachers._ While these are many we mention but
five, and these without discussion, leaving the student to fill up the
outlines.
1st. _Supervision of Work._ 2d. _Personal and close Acquaintance._ 3d.
_Frequent Visiting._ 4th. _Individual Coöperation._ 5th. _A Weekly
Teacher’s Meeting._
IV. _What are his duties to his Pupils?_
1st. _To know each one personally._ It is the measure of the
superintendent’s power. 2d. _To visit them at their homes_, or to insure
a visit by their teachers. It is his chief means of knowledge concerning
them. 3d. _To review their knowledge of the lesson_ regularly, from week
to week, and at the quarter’s end to conduct a thorough and systematic
review of the quarter’s teaching. 4th. _To urge them to all of the
various duties_ which are required of one in the Christian life. 5th.
_To aid their home training_, or supplement it, in providing suitable
methods for using their spare time. 6th. _To set before them the constant
example_ of a pure and holy life.
EDITOR’S OUTLOOK.
THE C. L. S. C. PLAN.
No organization that has appeared in the past fifty years has been more
favored than the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle. From the
first the surroundings have been such as to aid its growth. Eminent
educators and literary men pronounced their blessings on its head the
day it was born. Thousands of people shouted its praises to the echo, in
the grove at Chautauqua, as soon as they saw what it was and heard its
name. Chautauqua had a history of five years to place behind the C. L. S.
C.—a history of enterprising investigation in the fields of science and
philosophy, Biblical literature, church and Sunday-school work, and moral
reforms. It was five years of hard work to popularize useful information
on all these lines of thought. This was a good beginning for the C. L. S.
C., and right here it started. With the summer meetings at Chautauqua it
has been associated during these first five years of its history. The C.
L. S. C. Commencement exercises are held in the Hall of Philosophy, in
St. Paul’s grove, at Chautauqua, and from thence the diplomas are sent
out to the graduates all over the world.
