Mutual Work

#^ Relievio T. Leo Jacobs, of Newdale, Idaho, reports a short hike of the scouts to Moody Creek. The boys enjoyed the ride and return and went through drills of different kinds and played Relievio and other games. If any scouts wish excitement, get about thirty-two boys on horses and try a game of Relievio in an open forty-acre field. Even the horses seem to enjoy it. Fit the boys out with hats and handkerchiefs, get them on the horses, have them ride in order, changing at times to twos, fours, eights, and do all kinds of stunts.

1158 IMPROVEMENT ERA 2. It is suggester that, as an aid to fostering the social unit idea in our class, a couple of members of the class be assigned the duty of being responsible for the social program of the next meeting. This program need not be announced until the time of carrying it out which would be at the close of the lesson, from 15 to 30 minutes. While these programs will, of course, be highly savoured with the spirit of relaxation and informality, they will be so framed and executed that the proprieties of time and place will not be infringed upon. The chief aim of the social program is to give an opportunity for social comradeship or close acquaintance, among the members of the class. 3. It is recommended that the class hold two socials during the season, preferably at the home of some member. Invitations should always be extended to the ward authorities.
