This contest is for seniors only ; tryouts will be held in wards, stake districts, stakes, and Church districts, as heretofore, and will be gov- erned by the same rules as formerly made: Stakes and wards are urged to concentrate their efforts in making this event worth while. While other events may be used in stakes or wards for contest purposes, public speaking is the only event outlined by the General Boards to be taken up, first in the ward, then the stake district, the stake, the Church district, and at the grand finals. *Instead of the presentation of play, devote entire time to the other subjects.

928 IMPROVEMENT ERA Regulations Senior Public Speaking — 10 minutes. Open to Seniors only. Points for Judgment:

1. The idea — 20 per cent.
2. The development — 50 per cent. a. Introduction. (1) Simple, direct, earnest, suggestive of material to follow. b. Body. (1) Develop theme which should be persuasive rather than merely matter-of-fact. c. Summary. (1) General conclusion taken from the body of address. d. Original. (1) No long quotations should be given. (2) Sincerity.
3. Delivery — 30 per cent. II. Activities Scoring Contest.

Officers will note the following features: Individual Record: a. An individual record will be kept. Blanks for this purpose will be prepared by the General Boards and furnished to the organizations at cost. One record blank for each member will cover the entire season. These should be filed under suitable cover. b. Records of the Young Men's and Young Ladies' Associations are to be kept separately. c. It is recommended that members other than secretaries be appointed to have this work in charge, they, however, to co-operate with the secretaries. d. The record can be easily kept; in giving credits for attendance, activities participated in, etc., the individual only (not the group) is to be considered. e. Other features than "Special Activities" are introduced, thus pro- moting greater efficiency in the organization. f. Officers, parents, ward authorities, will know who are making the associations successful. g. At the end of each month, the credits of all individual members will be totaled, placed on the ward scoring blank, and sent to the stake joint committee. h. Awards will consist of Red, White, and Blue colors. i. Each ward association scoring 300 points will receive the Red color; each ward association scoring 500 points, the Red and White colors; each ward association scoring 700 points, the Red, White, and Blue colors. The adoption of designs for these colors is left to the stakes. Suggestions for designs will be made later. j. The ward earning the Red, White, and Blue colors (combined) three months or more during the season, one of which must be the closing month, will be awarded the colors permanently. Any ward earning a color one month and failing to make the required number of points the following month gives up the color. k. Stakes having 50 per cent or more of their wards permanently winning the three colors will receive honorable mention at June Conference, also in the Era and Journal, and a special certificate from the General Boards signifying excellence in M. I. A. Activities. The activities in which individuals may score are:

930 IMPROVEMENT ERA Explanations: Public speaking must be an assigned, prepared address. For reading Era and Journal score once on each issue of the magazines, exclusive of lesson work. Value of the Above: Officers will know who has made the Association successful and what each individual has done ; an appeal to personal pride in making record. For Church districts see Y. M. M. I. A. Hand Book. Association Record: I. In addition to the individual scoring record the associations may also score on the following points:

1. Ward Officers' Meeting — For each weekly officers' meeting held with order of business, and 50 per cent or more of the officers present at the appointed time, 5 points.
2. Correlated Program — For each correlated preliminary program (one published in the Era or Journal or one of like standard), 10 points.
3. Stake Officers' Meeting — For each officer present at stake monthly officers' meeting, 3 points. II. Ward scoring blanks will be furnished by the General Boards on which the credits for the above three items as also the totals of the individual points scored will be recorded. These will be sent to the stake joint committee at the close of each month. There will be four special activity evenings only, during the season: November 27, January 29, February 26, March 26. It is recommended that on one of these evenings a debate be given, on another a play, on another a musical program, and on the last, a miscellaneous program, tryout, or closing social. Time for Scoring — The time for scoring in all events, except the reading course, begins on October 9, 1917, and ends on March 26, 1918. The reading course begins on June 1, 1917, and ends on March 26, 1918. Scoring in M. I. A. activities is limited to regular weekly and monthly M. I. A. association meetings. In the regular class association meetings, scoring must be limited to the preliminary programs, so as not to interfere with lessons. Special M. I. A. gatherings called and presided over by M. I. A. officers may be held for scoring in dramas, debates, and reading course, but for no other events. Stake Officers — Stake officers are barred from all contests. See other rules in Y. M. M.l. A.

Efficiency Reports Y. M. M. I. A. The ward efficiency scheme, which proved of such value to all the stakes and wards that took the subject in hand last year, will be continued for 1917-18, in the Y. M. M. I. A. It was demonstrated last season that this scheme greatly tends to order and efficient service, in which each par- ticular division of our work receives its proper attention. It is also a great help to the local stake officers in that it shows the condition of each par- ticular ward, each month, in each particular division of our work, enabling them in their visits to place emphasis upon such delinquent divisions of the work, thus saving time. This year the General Board have arranged for both ward and stake reports, instead of one blank as last year. Instructions are found on the back of the blank and are printed for the benefit of the officers, so that they may have the regulations constantly before them. The following is a complete copy of the ward efficiency report blank, as it will be sent to the wards by the stake officers, for report each month: Ward Efficiency Report Blank Ward, Month, 191 Please send this report on the first of each month to the Stake Super- intendency. When you have reached the requirements in general efficiency, place 10 in the proper space; or, if half, place 5. (See August Era for rules and regulations.)

Following is a complete copy of the stake efficiency report hlank, which should be filled out and forwarded by the 10th of each month to the General Secretary, by the stake superintendent and his secretary for pub- lication in the Era. The regulations as in the ward report blanks are printed on each blank. It will be noted by both ward and stake officers that this year, instead of reporting only efficiency or ten, a report is provided for half efficient or five. That is to say, if the ward or the stake is efficient ten will be placed in the proper space, but if it is 50 per cent efficient, five will be placed in the blank, both to the stake officers and to the General Board, and the publication of the efficient as well as the half efficient will be given in the Era each month. We trust that the officers of every stake in Zion will adopt this scheme and carry it out in the spirit in which it has been prepared: Stake Efficiency Report Blank Stake, Month, 191 Please send this report to the General Secretary, Moroni Snow, Bishop's Building, Salt Lake City, by the 10th of each month. It will be published monthly in the Era. When the report shows that requirements in general efficiency have been reached, it will be indicated by placing 10 in the proper place. When the report shows that half of the requirements have been reached, place 5 in the proper place. Under items 4 and 8, when you have 100%, place a star.

934 IMPROVEMENT ERA Class Study for 1917-1918 In class study for the coming Y. M. M. I. A. season, we are to have four classes — two outlines and two manuals, namely:

1. The Sub-junior Outline for members from 12 to 13 years old in- clusive. This will be biographical in nature, bringing the boy in touch with men of ideal manhood and successful life — biographical sketches based on the book in our reading course entitled Men W ho Have Made Good. This sub-junior outline will appear in the Era, with enough separate copies printed to supply teachers and members of the classes who may wish to pur- chase them.
2. The Junior Manual, which is a complete text, is entitled The Devel- opment of Character; Lessons on Conduct." This deals with ethics and morals, through stories and instructions to teachers. This class includes young men from 14 to 17 years inclusive, and is a popular book of some one hundred pages of text, price 25c, supplied as usual to ward associations.
3. The Senior Manual, designed to be used by our strong working class of men, men who think as well as feel, men who are students and for whom in the past number of years, we have prepared a student course. This manual will be entitled Life and W ork Under Spiritual Guidance. The text is based upon the new book by Elder Claude Richards entitled, The Man of Tomorrow. The price of the manual is 25c, and will be dis- tributed as usual. The book, The Man of Tomorrow, is designed for teach- ers as well as for reading by the boys and young men. It is expected that it will be printed in time to use this season. The price will be $1 net. It is a book of some three hundred pages, illustrated and nicely bound. Much time and attention has been devoted to this work, and it will be found a most excellent vocational guide, especially suitable and adaptable to young men seeking knowledge on this subject, particularly fitted for the vocational counselors of each ward. The Senior manual course is adapted to include men from 18 years to 25 or more.
4. Then we have the Outline for the Advanced Senior Classes for mem- bers from 25 to 30 years and up. The work to be taken up in these ad- vanced senior classes will be elective; the classes will be joint, and com- posed of men and women of middle age. The subject that these classes in the various wards may desire to study should be submitted for approval to the General Board, in case the suggested outlines are not adopted by them. It has been thought wise, however, to provide this suggestive course for these advanced senior classes, or for such of the classes as do not desire to select their own course. Hence, the General Boards of the Y. M. and Y. L. M. I. A. have provided sixteen lessons, consisting of outlines on The Ethics of the Doctrine and Covenants. The Doctrine and Covenants will be found an instructive volume on Church discipline, Church organization, and a covenant volume containing agreements between man and God, — a prophetic volume, — in fact, a volume covering every phase of life here and hereafter. But it is preeminently a volume on ethics for the present life. It was President George Q. Cannon who said, on one occasion, that the Doctrine and Covenants is one of the most wonderful works on ethics that has ever been given to the human family. We agree with that, and believe it profitable for our advanced senior classes to study the book from the standpoint of man's duty to his fellow man, — and that is ethics, as distin- guished from every man's duty to his God, which is called religion. Man's duty, square-dealing, protection, helpfulness, to his fellow-men, is called ethics; hence, these outline lessons for the advanced senior classes will be the study of man's duty to his fellow-man. These lessons will be published monthly, in the Era and the Journal. They are designed to satisfy the want of these special classes where their members do not find anything else to select that they consider better.
