Summer Work

Summer Work Supt. Aaron W. Tracy of the North Weber stake and his board have prepared a summer course for the wards in their stake that

754 IMPROVEMENT ERA meet on Sunday evening. The purpose is three-fold: (1) to develop the local presidents and counselors in public speaking and to aid them in obtaining new thoughts and ideas through visiting, thus engendering more enthusiasm in Mutual work; (2) to get the parents out to the meetings by giving them something valuable and entertaining; (3) to catch the crowds of boys and girls who otherwise would spend the evenings buggy-riding. They have prepared a schedule of subjects from the Elders' course of study on the Articles of Faith. Each ward presidency will present the program assigned to them, nine times, once in each of the nine wards. The program consists of singing, two fifteen or twenty-minute talks by a young man and a young lady, a recitation, and instrumental music. The meetings begin June 9 and close August 25, so that nine subjects will be presented in each ward during the summer period. The North Davis stake at their annual conference on Sunday, April 28, decided upon a summer program, providing weekly meeting in the wards of that stake. The Young Ladies will occupy their part of the time, on nature study, and the Young Men theirs on topics and stories from the junior manual. Supt. Herbert C. Burton and his Board are urging the study of the adopted program. The Bingham stake have arranged a summer program, and also a field day for athletic contests and games at the close of the season, Sept. 29.
