15. In your opinion, are the Negro colleges meeting the needs of definite religious training? 16.

What is your estimate of the religious services at your college, viz: Church preaching service, Sunday School, Young People 's meetings, Week-day Prayer meetings, Week of Prayer for colleges, Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A. or any other religious service? (Mark each according to your estimate as Church 1, Prayer meeting 2, Y.W.C.A. 3, etc.) 2. What are the items of importance in these respective services, the sermon, prayer, ritual, congregational singing, special music, etc.? 3. Why did you make the preceding ranking as you did? 4. What suggestion have you to offer for the improvement of these services? What other criticism have you to offer on these services? 5. What is your church affiliation? For example, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc.? The majority of Negro institutions--all included in this study--have published statements concerning religious education in their respective curricula and voluntary organizations. These statements appear in announcements, catalogues, and reports. These have been secured and critically reviewed. From these the spirit of religious education, the attitude towards the work, their aim, their own ideas as to value of results obtained from such instruction may in a large measure be determined. The last means resorted to were the reports of denominations on education. These reports appear in various forms, sometimes in year books, and at other times in the quadrennial reports, viz: the General Conference reports of the Methodist Episcopal, the African Methodist Episcopal, the A. M. E. Zion and Colored Methodist Episcopal Churches. I. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN PRIVATE AND DENOMINATIONAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Let us first direct our attention to the work as it is being conducted in private and sectarian schools. The most important factor in this study is the teacher. What is the type of teachers in Negro institutions, for the progressive socialization of the individuals whom they instruct? The student's religious life will be conditioned very likely, by the teachers in the colleges. The preparation of the teacher then requires careful consideration.
