Regiments, Battalions, Companies, and Squads must be properly officered—­must be supervised.  Colonels, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants and Corporals are the arteries of an army.  In Sunday school language, the head of the regiment is the General Superintendent, and all the heads of divisions and departments are likewise named Superintendent.  The leader of the squad is the Teacher.  Then a properly supervised Sunday school is organized not unlike an army, and would be, according to a diagram, like the following:

Thus the modern school of the church would have at least twelve superintendents to oversee its work, to say nothing of the special workers, such as Training, Missionary and Temperance.  This may seem like an unnecessary array of officers, but the experienced will admit that they are essential to good results in teaching boys and girls of varying requirements. Not until the Secondary or Teen Age Division is adequately supervised, will the teen age boy or his religious education be properly cared for.
