Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing the Sunday School or a Practical Study of Sunday School Buildings This book is the outgrowth of a lecture delivered in February, 1908, before the faculty, students and friends of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky. No pretensions are made to architectural skill or accuracy. My purpose has been rather to produce a book of practical suggestions for practical people who are looking toward the practical housing of the Sunday school. Neither is there any claim that this particular field is adequately covered, a thing entirely impossible within the scope of a book like this. I indulge the hope, however, that my readers will find something by way of suggestion that may be valuable. I have had much help from various sources by the loan of drawings and electrotypes, and desire to express my hearty thanks for this valuable assistance. Especially do I wish to thank the architects whose names appear with the illustrations. My greatest debt of obligation, however, is to Mr. George W. Kramer, F. I. A. I, of New York City. Mr. Kramer continues the firm of architects with whom the "Akron Plan" of Sunday-school buildings originated. He has planned and built thousands of churches and Sunday-school buildings throughout the country. He has furnished the material and drawings for Chapters VIII, IX and X, and has, under my general direction, made the drawings with which to illustrate my Ideal Sunday School Building, presented herewith in Chapter XIII. Mr. Kramer is known as an Ecclesiological Architect, and I gladly make mention of him in this connection, not only because of his service to me in the preparation of this book, but because of his general efficiency in the line of his profession.
