tely connected with a Sunday school. 3. A Sunday Bible session and, if practicable, week-day session or activities. 4. The age limits of the class shall be not less than thirteen or more than twenty years. =How to Organize= Secure Secondary Division Leaflet No. 2, of the International Sunday School Association. Study this leaflet carefully, noting especially the standard of organization and the suggestive constitution, which seek to define an organized class. Distribute leaflets among those whom you wish to interest and enlist. Organization should not be forced on the class. Do not go at it as though you were laying a trap. Observe the following: (a) Think it through yourself; then put yourself in the pupil's place and ask yourself the question, "How would I like to have this presented to me?" This will give you the viewpoint of your class, and you are then ready to go ahead. You must believe in it thoroughly, enthusiastically, before you can hope for the interest and enthusiasm of your class. (b) Next, get two or three of your "key" pupils, and talk it over with them. Show them the possibilities of the organization, emphasizing the physical, mental, social and spiritual activities. (c) Follow this with a special meeting of the class, to be held either at the home of the teacher or one of the class. (d) Make the organization genuine, and show that you mean business. The teen age abhors shams, and will readily detect any weak spots in the organization. Impress upon them the necessity of selecting capable officers. Adopt the class constitution, which follows, select class name and motto, and elect the officers. (e) Then let the officers conduct the meetings, both in the Sunday and the mid-week sessions. The teacher is one of the class and is the director of activities; the officers and committeemen do the work. (f) In all things keep in close touch with the general superintendent and the departmental superintendent of the school. Seek the strength that comes from advice and cooperation. =Constitution= A class constitution is not essential, but is often helpful. The following form of constitution is merely suggestive and may be changed to conform to the needs of the class. _Article I_--Name. Our class shall be known as _______________ _____________ and shall be connected with, and form a part of, the ______________Sunday school of_______. _Article II_--Object. The object of the
