SCHOOL PRAISE THE LINDSEY PRESS PREFACE URING the seventeen years that have elapsed Dsince the publication of Hymns for School and Home by the Sunday School Association, an enormous advance has been made in Sunday School method. With better grading of departments and classes, and with the introduction of so many new hymns in such collections as School Worship (1926) and Songs of Praise (Enlarged) (1931), it is evident that no mere addition to the former book would meet the need of modern schools. The present book has therefore been compiled by a joint committee of the Religious Educa- tion Department of the General Assembly and the Northern Sunday School Federation ; and it is offered to the schools to meet the need for vigorous, up- lifting, and inspiring hymns for boys and girls. The book is particularly intended for those between eight and sixteen years, since Primary Departments (which do not as a rule use individual hymn-books) make full use of the Rev. Carey Bonner's Child Songs, and because senior classes may prefer to use the adult hymn-book used in their church services. But a small section of primary hymns not to be found in Child Songs has been supplied for the help of Primary Department Leaders, and a section of hymns specially suitable for senior classes is also included. Over each hymn will be found initials indicating the department for which it is chiefly suited, the MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN initials used being P (Primary, under 8 years), J BY JARROLD AND SONS LTD. NORWICH (Junior, 8 to 12 years), I (Intermediate, 12 to 16 years) and S (Senior Classes and Adults). In schools without graded departments it is better to let younger children join in a hymn beyond their comprehension than to 5 SCHOOL PRAISE SCHOOL PRAISE ask seniors to sing juvenile hymns which they should long have outgrown. Children may profitably learn Dr. W. P. Merrill, Rev. Dr. A. W. Slaten, Rev. G. J. to sing, and thus unconsciously memorise, some of Sparham, Rev. Bernard H. R.
