# Mutual Work—Chairmen of the Committees of the General Board

<!-- page:1001 -->

MUTUAL WORK.

   CHAIRMEN OF THE COMMITTEES OF THE GENERAL
                                         BOARD.
    In conformity with the address of the General Superintendency which was
adopted at the annual conference of the M. I. A., the General Board has chosen
chairmen of the various committees, as suggested in said address, as follows:
    1.                     —
        On Class Study, Bryant S. Hinckley.
     2.    On Athletics and Field Sports,— Lyman R. Martineau.
     3.    Music and Drama,    —
                               Oscar W. Kirkham.
     4.                      —
           On Social Affairs, Junius F. Wells.
     5.                                —
           On Library and Reading, Dr. George H. Brimhall.
     6.                                           —
           On Conferences and Conventions, Edward H. Anderson.
     7.    On Missionary Work, — B. F. Grant.
     8.    On Debates, Contests, and Lectures, — Dr. John A. Widtsoe.
     9.    Auditing Committee,     — Rudger Clawson and Bryant        S. Hinckley.

     The chairmen of these committees have selected or will soon choose members
from the General Board      to complete        their committees,   and are ready to go to
work in their various fields of labor.        Suggestions from stake and ward officers in
regard to the needs of the young people in these various departments of our work
will be   welcome and will receive careful consideration.          Letters should be ad-
dressed to the chairmen in care of the General Secretary Y. M. M. I. A., No. 214
Templeton Building, Salt Lake         City.     We trust that the stake officers in the
various stakes of Zion will look into these        new   labors and   make   the necessary
changes and organization in their associations which          will be   needed to bring the
work up to the best standard among the young people under their jurisdiction.
There is a splendid opportunity for initiative work in these fields, and we trust
that the officers will carefully consider the conditions, make such recommenda-
tions, and initiate such labors, as will tend to active interest among the young

people.
