STATEMENT OF THESIS: The purpose of this Thesis is to present a study of the organizations and program developed by the Baptists of the Northern States for the religious education of the youth. That the program of the past has not been adequate to meet the need of the denomination seems to be the opinion of the leaders. The sources of this information are the history of the Baptists, the recorded answers to a questionaire sent to the leaders of the denomination, and finally, tracts and reports of the directors of religious education in the states that comprise the Northern Baptist Convention. A survey of the entire program of the Northern Baptists as presented by the Board of Education furnishes material showing the needs, ideals, and ambitions of their leaders.
