The pastor's varied relations both personal and official, within and without the church, are given careful attention. Investigation and experimentation are conducted by the students in such a way as to cultivate resourcefulness in developing right methods of church work.

A fuller course, including the study of hymnology, is offered with the co-operation of the Director of Music. III. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION The work in religious education is conducted in co-operation with the Department of Education, the special problems of religious education being so intimately related to the more general subject. All of the courses in the School of Education are open to the students of the Divinity School under the direction of this Department. Students should have an early conference with the instructor with reference to their plan of work. Courses are arranged to meet the needs of four classes of students: (1) Those who are preparing for the Christian ministry, who will have the pastoral leadership of the Sunday school and of the educational work of the church; (2) Those who are preparing to be directors of religious education in churches and other institutions; (3) Those who desire to fit themselves as specialists for advanced work in the study of religious educational problems; (4) Those who will engage in educational work in foreign fields. Religious Education may be elected as the principal or secondary subject for the advanced degrees. Elementary work in physiology, zoology, psychology, and sociology is prerequisite. After the three prescribed courses, Introduction to Religious Education, Christian Ethics, and Introduction to Ecclesiastical Sociology, the requirements for degrees are as follows: 1. For secondary work for the Doctor's degree at least seven additional majors, one from each of groups A, C, D, E, F, and two from group B. 2. For principal work for the Doctor's degree at least fourteen additional majors. A broad foundation shall be laid in the whole field by taking nine majors, one from group A, three from group B, one from group C, two from group D, one from group E, and one from group F. Specialization shall be made in the Psychology, the History, or the Methods of Religious Education, the minimum of five majors and the thesis being done in the student's special field.
