Présentation de l'éditeur
The Cradle Roll might be called the prelude to the Sundayschool, as the Home Department is the postlude, for it is composed of candidates for the Sunday school, while the Home Department is for the most part made up of Sunday-school veterans. The Cradle Roll is variously regarded. In some schools it is simply a waiting-list of babies who will one day be attendants. As such, its scope is limited to a list of names, birthdays and parents addresses, to keeping in touch with these children through calls, socials, birthday and Christmas remembrances, and to notifying their parents when they may enter the Beginners Department. Other schools connect the Cradle Roll with the Beginners Department by encouraging the older members to visit its sessions, by making the entry of a new baby on the roll the occasion of an appropriate exercise on its program, and by urging the parents to contribute money in the name of the children. Still other schools consider the prime object of the Cradle Roll interesting mothers of young children in their religious welfare, and occasionally the emphasis is placed upon winning the parents to the church through the interest shown in their children. Whatever the attitude of the individual school toward the Cradle Roll, however, there seems never to have been any scheme of practical religious education especially adapted to the oldest of these little children. Those that attend Sunday school gather what they can from the instruction of the Beginners Department, or, when their number warrants, they are taken apart for a simplified lesson, or for so-called busy work. At home they hear an occasional Bible story and are frequently taught an evening prayer and the rudiments of obedience, kindness and the like, in a more or less desultory fashion.
