6. How can we get the parents, pastors, etc., interested in the Sabbath-school? _Answer._ Go to them and respectfully ask their counsel and advice about the Sabbath-school. Get them to investigate and inquire, give them hints and information, and thus excite their interest. 7. Is it consistent for a Sabbath-school teacher to play at cards, dance, etc.? _Answer._ Cards are gamblers' tools, and we should beware of them. Besides, the teacher's time is too precious. I have never danced since I first became a Sabbath teacher, nearly forty years ago. It will lessen Christian influence. "If meat make my brother to offend," says Paul, "I will eat no flesh while the world standeth." 8. What is the best way to get rid of inefficient teachers? _Answer._ Treat them with the most tender consideration. Call upon them and give them some hints about a verse in the lesson, which they can use with this or that scholar in their class. I have always found it better to make poor teachers over, than to look up and train new ones. 9. How can you restore order in a disorderly class? _Answer._ The teacher mast first be in the most perfect order and control himself, and he will soon control the class, if his patience holds out. 10. What is the pastor's position in the Sabbath-school? _Answer._ He is the pastor of the lambs in the Sabbath-school as well as of the church. 11. Is it best to reprove scholars or teachers in presence of the class or classes? _Answer._ NEVER. 12. Who are to elect the superintendent? _Answer._ In most cases he should be elected by the teachers, not by the scholars. 13. Who appoints the teachers? _Answer._ They are generally appointed by the superintendent. 14. How long ought a lesson to be? _Answer._ Six to ten verses, and forty minutes' time for the teacher. 15. What is the best way of training teachers? _Answer._ Get for them _The Sunday-School Times_, and attract them into the regular weekly teachers' meeting. 16. How shall we retain young men and women? _Answer._ Get a teacher who loves, honors, and respects them and can understand young people, and does not forget that he was once young. Then elevate the Sabbath-school, so that the young people will not be belittled in attending it. 17. Is there not danger that the Sabbath-school will induce a disrelish for the preaching service? _Answer._ We must certainly guard against such a result. The Sabbath-school must cling close to the Church of God. 18. How much money should be expended annually on a large mission-school? _Answer._ A fair Christian economy is _best_. I know of mission-schools, of four hundred scholars, sustained at an expense of less than four hundred dollars, including rent, that are better every way, they are more regular and successful, than some similar schools which expend from one thousand to twelve hundred dollars per year.
