EDUCATIONAL WORKS

Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns

AN EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM FOR CHRISTIANS

By E. A. Sutherland

Is a history of education showing the responsibility placed upon parents and

upon the church in all ages to provide for the spiritual training of the

children. It advocates a threefold education, the only means of

developing a perfect character. By repeated reference to leading

educators, it shows that each generation has produced advocates

of educational reform. The present duty of

Christian parents and teachers is clearly indicated.

“I have read ‘Living Fountains’ with care. It is an excellent work, and the best presentation of educational reform in the truest sense, which I have seen. I wish it might be in every family. It should be carefully studied as a text-book by parents and by all who have to do with children.”—J. H. Kellogg, M. D., Battle Creek Sanitarium.

“I have carefully read ‘Living Fountains.’ The book sets forth the principles and the history of true education, together with the growth of Protestantism. I wish it could be placed in the hands of every family. It shows the absolute necessity of making the Bible the foundation of Christian education. I recommend it to all.”—S. N. Haskell, New York City.

“After carefully reading ‘Living Fountains,’ I wish to bear testimony to the fact that it has opened my eyes to the dangers in the present educational system, of which I have been but dimly conscious, and to which, like many others, I have given indifferent heed. In my judgment, ‘Living Fountains’ is a strong book, presenting a masterly array of facts to sustain the positions taken, and suggesting a remedy that can not fail to commend itself to every candid thinker. I believe it will do great good.”—Rev. F. A. Harter, Webster City, Iowa.

“‘Living Fountains’ has been a great blessing to me, and has brought me nearer to God. Every teacher who wishes to become a representative of Christian education, should study this book. Parents should read it that they may know their duty toward their children.”—John Lipke, Principal of the Industrial Academy, Brusque, Bra.

“I am using ‘Living Fountains’ in my class work, and I am very much pleased with it. It is a book that should be read by all.”—Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster Academy, South Lancaster, Mass.

The Advocate of Christian Education

A THIRTY-TWO-PAGE MONTHLY

Advocating the Uniform Development of the

Mental, Physical, and Spiritual

Natures of the Child

It sets forth the Principles of Christian Education as the inherent right of every child, the imparting of which rests as a solemn duty upon every parent, every teacher, and upon the church.

It deals with The Methods of Christian Education, thus rendering valuable assistance to parents in the home, to Sabbath-school workers, and to all other teachers of children and youth.

It records the Progress of Educational Movements in the world. Ministers, as leaders of the people, should understand educational reform movements.

Parents, as the first teachers of their children, should study both the principles and the methods of Christian education.

Sabbath-school officers and teachers, and teachers in the day schools, are largely responsible for the character of the children and youth in their charge. To all these workers the Advocate offers practical assistance.
