Teacher-Training The attention of Presidents of stakes and Bishops of wards is called to the statement of the First Presidency as found in the December Era, page 176, in which Presidents of stakes, Bishops of wards and Presidents of Priesthood quorums are urged to have their teachers and class leaders participate in the weekly teacher-training classes in each ward throughout the Church. Quorum officers and class instructors are urged to regularly and diligently attend the teacher-training course as prescribed for all the Priesthood and auxiliary teachers in the Church. The new text book for the teacher-training course is entitled, Problems in Teaching Religion and is ready now for delivery and may be obtained at the Deseret Book Company at 50c per copy. This new book is a most excellent guide to every teacher and should be in the hands of all the Priesthood class leaders and teachers. We trust that you will take notice of these items and make them known before your Priesthood meeting, so that the Priesthood may take acti/e part, not only in their own studies, but also in the teacher-training classes. Sincerely yours, Rudger Clawson, Chairman W. A. Shepherd, Secretary

Who are Ward Officers? For the purpose of the efficiency report, we count as ward officers, the president and his counselors, the secretary, the treasurer, the chorister, and the class leaders, including the scoutmaster. Of course where one person is both treasurer and scretary, he is counted as one. While it would be well to have the members of the committees present at the officers' meetings, let it be understood that for the purpose of the efficiency report, those named are considered ward officers of the Y. M. M. I. A.
