Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The picture of the Sunday School teacher as presented In the
Indiana Survey reveals the qualities of sincerity response to a
strong sense of duty, and a religious attitude, but a sad deficiency
in the matter of training and preparation for the delicate task of
working with immortal souls. To draw into this great work those
with special ability, and to encourage those already in to add training to their devotion, calls for the development of a professional
spirit. By this spirit is meant the feeling that they are members
of a great profession of teaching, with a pride in their calling and
a sense of the worthwhileness of their task. They will realize
that real teaching is one of the great enterprises of life, that it
demands the best that is in a person, and calls for exercise- of
his highest powers, for force, for originality and imagination equal
to the powers of mind and spirit that bring to light the secrets of science, that produce the great inventions, and make the great discoveries. [TRUNCATED]
