Suggestive Ward Report to Stake Officers A number of stake officers have requested a suggestive outline for a monthly report of the Y. M. M. I. A. of the wards for the stake officers. Complying with this request, the Committee suggest the following, which may be printed on postal cards or paper, and sent monthly by the local secretary to the secretary of the stake for com- pilation. The matter which would thus be placed in the hands of the stake officers would be of great value, enabling them to have knowl- edge of the details of the various association activities every month of the year. The blanks might be modified, in each stake, to meet the requirements of the wards of that stake. The Committee are of the opinion and recommend that the officers of each stake print their own report blanks, as the local conditions vary to such an extent that one form would scarcely meet the demands of all the stakes. Hence, stake officers will please prepare their own reports for their own par- ticular wards, from this suggestive outline, adding such new matter or making such changes or eliminations as their local conditions demand. The report follows: MONTHLY REPORT OF THE Y. M. M. I. A. FOR THE WARD STAKE 191-— [The ward secretary, will fill out this report and mail to the stake secretary immediately after the last meeting of each month.] 1.
