Show more82 AUGSBURG SEMINARY SPECIAL COURSES BOOKKEEPING The object of the 20th Century Bookkeeping is to teach the student the fundamental principles of book keeping and accounting. To suit the conditions that exist in the schoolroom and to permit flexibility, the work is divided into four sets, each of which is separate and distinct. While it is necessary to complete the four sets in order that the student may have a thoro knowledge of the subject, yet he may discontinue at the end of any one set with his knowledge being complete as far as he has advanced. The first set teaches the student the fundamental principles of bookkeeping and accounting. The second set teaches the student the principles of partnership bookkeeping, the advantages of special rul— ing in the cash book, the carbon copy sales book, etc. The third set teaches the principles of corporation bookkeeping and the special accounts required in a cor- poration set of books. The fourth set teaches the principles of cost account- ing, as practically applied in modern business, a subject that has never before been presented to the student of bookkeeping and accounting. The transactions are so arranged that the student de— votes practically all his time to the cost feature, which enables him to obtain a thoro understanding of the prin- ciples in a reasonably short time. The student who has worked out these sets need not hesitate to accept a posi- tion in any office.

Show moreAUGSBURG SEMINARY 15 students are expected to attend the services in the dif- ferent congregations of the Lutheran Free Church in Minneapolis. They are encouraged to take active part in Sunday school work, young people’s work, and church choirs. The Theological Division of Augsburg Seminary offers a three-year course of study. The aim is to give a thoro knowledge of the Bible, the history of the Chris- tian Church, and the teachings of the Lutheran Church, and also a practical training in dealing with the principal questions that arise in pastoral life and in the pastoral leadership of the congregation. As far as possible the Bible is studied in the original. It is clearly realized, however. that mere knowledge is not all that is necessary for the complete equipment of a worker in the vineyard of Our Lord. The all-important consideration is to awaken and foster in the student true loyalty to Christ and absolute obedience to the Holy Spirit; for without these qualities no man can become a “good and faithful servant” in the house of God. The majority of the Theological students of Augs- burg Seminary are naturally preparing themselves for service either in the home Church or in foreign mission fields. Many of the students in the College and Academy have the same calling in view. For this reason many of them are engaged in Church work during their vaca- tions. A number of student organizations have been formed, and several of them have attained a very respectable age. The Students’ Society and the Boarding Club are among the oldest. Literary, debating, oratorical, educational, and athletic societies, as well as musical organizations, and library societies, have all had their share in shaping the development of the school, and increasing its usefulness. The Students’ Missionary Society, organized in 1885, deserves special mention, as it has done much to foster Show less

Problems are worked both syn- thetically and analytically. The course includes lines, rectangular figures, circles, loci, ratio, proportion, limits, problems in construction, similar polygons and area of polygons. Text: Hart and Feldman “Plane Geometry”.

Secondly, the course involves a systematic study of the essentials of preaching as testifying of Christ, properly designated as Homile- tics. It is constantly borne in mind that the power of preaching does not lie in human art but in the divine authority of the Word and the Spirit of God. Hence, while there must be intense study of the text and much practice in the art of presenting truth, the essential homiletic prepartion consists in ridding minds of worldly notions as to preaching and self—confidence in order that \Vord and Spirit may have full sway. Further the course consists in the study of the pericopes; analytical reading of representative sermons; written outlines of sermons and religious addresses, and weekly sermons in class. 2. CATECHETICS Catechetics as a branch of Practical Theology at~ tempts to teach the proper methods of instructing the young in the Church, especially in the Christian religion. It looks upon the educational work intrusted to every congregation as fundamentally necessary and requiring careful training of teachers and patient and systematic execution. A good pastor should not only himself be able “to feed the lambs” but should also know how to teach others the same art. The course involves, first, a survey of the history of Christian education; secondly, a description of the theories and methods of such educa- tion as they prevail in the Church to-day; thirdly, the. practical application of principles and methods to our educational need, so that the material of instruction may be suited as much as possible to the growing heart and Show less
