Handbook for Workers With Young People (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Handbook for Workers With Young People The author of this volume has had the unusual priv ilege of knowing intimately groups of young people in every section of our country. In multitudes of instances he has been called in as counselor and friend to help in solving practical problems. With the memory of these conferences fresh in mind he writes with the glowing conviction that the church Should make a suitable place in its program for those who constitute its greatest human asset and its only hope. Years of study and service spent in this specialized field have given Mr. Thompson clear insight into and understanding of the motives and ideals as well as the misunderstandings and discouragements of young peo ple. He knows why, with their idealism and passion for service, they have such difficulty in becoming vitally identified with that ancient and conservative institution which holds the faith of the fathers. Faith, the sub stance Oi a living church, is theirs in abundance, even though it sometimes lacks the spirit of conformity.

The Intermediate Manual


Book Description

Excerpt from The Intermediate Manual: A Handbook of Methods for Intermediate and Young People's Society Workers Religious workers desire to make men and women oat of the material that they find in the community. The task is a difficult one at best, but its difficulties are immensely increased if workers plunge into their labors badly equipped and with only a vague idea of the means they are going to employ to attain their end. There is no excuse for Sunday-school workers remaining in ignorance of the work in which they are engaged. There are books a plenty dealing with the problem from every conceivable angle. But it is different with the Intermediate Christian Endeavor society. Here and there articles have appeared about it. Talks have been made about it at conventions. But no handbook which might serve superintendents as a guide has thus far been published. The Intermediate society is an instrument for the making of manhood and womanhood. The aim of the following pages is to give superintendents a working idea of methods to employ and of the nature of the young people with whom they will have to labor.

The Missionary Manual


Book Description

Excerpt from The Missionary Manual: A Handbook of Methods for Missionary Work in Young People's Societies in Young Work in Young No set of workers in-our young people's societies is so eager for work to do, or so enthusiastic in doing the work, as our missionary committees. These en ergetic laborers have long needed a full and systematic manual of directions and suggestions, such as this book aims to be. A few volumes have taken up this task in part and With admirable success, but none with the completeness of detail. Or anything like the fullness that I have attempted. Those that use this book will find it practical. In deed, at least half of the plans here set forth have been tried and proved by large numbers of societies all over the world. At the same time, however, recognizing the value of novelty in this work as in most work, I have made up the volume to a very large extent - probably half - of original plans which have not before been pub lished. I trust that these new methods will be found as useful as the old have been, and that they will give fresh life to thousands of missionary meetings.

Baptist Young People at Work


Book Description

Excerpt from Baptist Young People at Work: A Manual of Methods for the Young People's Society The purpose of this chapter is to Show that every church should have its young people organized into some group, whatever its name, that aims at definite Spiritual culture and service. To say, as a pastor once admitted, I have nothing for my young men to do but pass the hymn-books, is a confession of inefficiency. Surely we have no grander issue at stake than the conservation of the forces of Chris tian youth, the richest of our spiritual resources. It is in the ages between fourteen and twenty that the church receives most of her converts; and in the latter part Of the same period, when young people are looking upon life as a great dawn, the most heroic decisions are often made. Something cor responding to a young people's society is demanded by the needs of the young Christianpof the church, and of the world.

Handbook of Early Childhood Literacy


Book Description

"This volume examines early literacy research on a global scale and puts social, cultural, and historical analyses in the front seat--without losing sight of individual and family-level matters in the process. It is comprehensive, ground-breaking, and provocative, and should help literacy researchers to think differently about the field." --Marjorie Faulstich Orellana, School of Education and Social Policy, Northwestern University "No other publication that I am aware of brings together views from such diverse disciplines, contributing to a comprehensive statement about early childhood literacy. The Handbook not only reviews the current field of situated literacy but presents some important and exciting new research. It is a significant resource that promises to become a landmark text." --Eve Bearne, University of Cambridge, Faculty of Education, U.K. "This handbook brings together an astonishing array of writers who explore contemporary political, cultural, and cognitive understandings of early childhood literacy. Literacy and literacy acquisition are broadly defined here to encompass not just traditional notions of reading and writing, but multimodalities, multiliteracies, and critical literacies. . . It is rich and comprehensive, an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, and students of early childhood literacy." --Elsa Auerbach, Professor of English, University of Massachusetts, Boston "This book is unique in its broad consideration of topics and its global focus . . . I particularly appreciate how the editors have situated current research in an historical context. They have also included development issues, pedagogy, research, and the newest areas of interest--critical literacy and popular culture." --Diane Barone, University of Nevada, Reno In recent years there has been a virtual revolution in early childhood studies, with a mass of books and papers seeking to re-examine and reposition childhood. At the same time an equally significant area has developed within literacy studies, reflecting a growing interest in the nature of literacy as a socially situated phenomenon. There is increased interest in literacy as a multimodal concept in which symbolic meaning is a central concept, rather than more conventional and narrower notions of literacy. The Handbook of Early Childhood Literacy is central in providing access to all these different perspectives. The Handbook offers a way through the vast diversity of publications on early childhood literacy by providing comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of research and thinking in early childhood literacy. The arrangement of chapters reflects a contemporary perspective on research into early childhood literacy. Major sections include: the global world of early childhood literacy; childhood literacy and family, community and culture; the development of literacy in early childhood; pedagogy and early childhood literacy and researching early childhood literacy. Contributions by leading authorities focus on literacy as a socially situated and global experience, one that is evolving in relation to changes in contemporary culture and technological innovation.
