Nurses’ Training Class

THE Wabash Valley Sanitarium Missionary Training-School for Nurses offers exceptional opportunities at this time for training in a course lasting from two to three years. The fall class started October 1, but applications from a limited number in addition to those already accepted will receive consideration. The special summer course, beginning May 1, and lasting four months, has been a great help to those who have been qualified in other lines of missionary work, but who wished a limited amount of training in this direction before going to foreign fields. Address all communications to the Wabash Valley Sanitarium, La Fayette, Ind.

The New Class for the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium Training-School

A NEW class will start in the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium Training-School for Missionary Nurses, Jan. 1, 1911. As we start but one class a year in this school, and as many in different parts of the country have written desiring to enroll in our class, we shall be glad to have all who are interested write at once. We wish to start a class of about twenty-five, and only those are desired who are well and strong physically, and who are thoroughly consecrated Seventh-day Adventist young men and women. We especially desire those who wish to fit themselves for foreign missionary work. Write at once for our announcement giving particulars of the school. Address the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium, Boulder, Colo.

The Reading Course

By Mrs. L. Flora Plummer

Now, right now, is the time to send for the new book to be used in the Sabbath-school Teacher's Reading Course the coming winter. It is entitled, “The Sunday School Teacher,” and was written by Prof. H. M. Hamill, of Nashville, Tenn., a well-known Sunday-school worker. The November Worker will contain the first outline of study on this book. The study of “Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work” will be continued until the book is completed.
Here are some of the chapter headings, which indicate the nature of the new book: “The Heart of the Lesson;” “Class Problems;” “How to Question;” “How to Review;” “Teaching Little Children;” “Teaching Big Boys and Girls;” “Teaching Young Men and Women;” “Teaching Adult Scholars;” “The Teacher's Week-Day Work.”
No teacher who desires to grow, who wishes to improve the quality of his work, can afford to miss these studies. All who have been following the Reading Course studies during the past year will surely provide themselves with this new book, and we are hoping that those who have not yet begun the Reading Course work will consider this an opportune time to do so. Remember this calls only for home study. Remember, too, that we can not hope to keep up the interest in our class work unless we are continually adding to our store of knowledge on how to teach. The wide-awake teacher is constantly seeking to improve. Here is an opportunity within the reach of every one. We hope none will pass it by.
What You Will Need
“Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work,” by Mrs. E. G. White. Price, in cloth, 25 cents; in leather, 35 cents.
“The Sunday School Teacher,” by H. M. Hamill. Price, 50 cents.
The Sabbath School Worker. Price, 35 cents single subscription; 30 cents apiece for two or more copies to one address.
Order through your tract society, or from the Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

Young Men and Women Wanted

TWENTY young men and women, with good health, good education, and sterling Christian character, who desire a training to work for humanity in its most urgent phase, are wanted to join the medical missionary training class at the New England Sanitarium, Melrose, Mass., which formed Oct. 1, 1910.
Who will give themselves to this work, and begin training at once?
We have a strong faculty of teachers. We have raised the standard high, and are determined, with the help of God, to keep it high. We want helpers who will assist in this. Ten or twelve have already been accepted, but we need twenty more, as the calls demand that this shall be the largest and best-trained class that Melrose has ever had. Write at once to the superintendent, W. E. Bliss, M. D., New England Sanitarium, Melrose, Mass.
