MUTUAL WORK 693 Leadership School in St. George Wayne C. Gardner, superintendent Y. M. M. I. A. St. George stake, informs the Improvement Era that on the 9th of March the stake officers made the last spring visit to the wards of that stake in the interest of the Y. M. M. I. A., which completed their annual visit. The "M" Men's work is not as well up to the standard as they would like to have it. During the anniversary week they had a leadership class in St. George of which they were indeed proud. Twenty-six young men of the college were enrolled and a number of young men besides, were chosen from the differ- ent wards of the stake who were asked to take part in the course. He is confident that a great amount of good will be accomplished by these young men representing the various wards upon their return home with the vision and purpose of scout work in mind. During the anniversary week a special program was given in the col- Top: Fireman's Rescue. Bottom: Junior Band

On Saturday afternoon at the close of the anniversary week the scout leadership class and the troops from the different wards engaged in contests upon the public square. The Junior band, under Professor Earl J. Bleak, furnished the music. On Saturday evening there was a bonfire meeting on the public square at which a splendid program was given consisting of stories and games of different kinds. The Sunday afternoon meeting was conducted, being a leadership class, under the direction B. Glen Smith at which there was a very large and Top: Leadership class, St. G2orge.

MUTUAL WORK 695 New California Superintendent of Sunday Schools and M. I. A. Five Sunday school conventions have recently been completed in the California mission under direction of Supt. Gustive O. Larson, assisted by Elder Joseph G. Jeppson, as follows: Oakland, Feb. 17; Sacramento, 24; Fresno, March 2, and San Diego, March 9. At these conventions twenty- six Sunday schools were represented. Special convention programs were prepared adapted from those of the General Board. Each convention con- sisted of a Teacher-Training session, Sunday school session, Departmental session, and a general assembly in the evening. The Teacher-Training was conducted under direction of Elder Jeppson, and department leaders were carefully selected, by each conference president, for each department. Roll call of officers and teachers showed a good representation of workers, many of whom traveled over one hundred miles to be in attendance. Brief reports were given by local superintendents and Sunday school messages were pre- sented by the visiting officers. Special M. I. A. and Sunday School officers meetings were held in the branches during the weeks intervening between conventions. These were held as follows: Vallejo, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Monterey, Roseville, Gridley, Yuba City, and Stockton. Elder Joseph G. Jeppson has been appointed as superintendent of the California Mission Sunday schools and Y. M. M. I. A. to succeed Supt. Gustive O. Larson, whose release became effective, March 25.

They were able to keep their pledge. During one of the games Vaughn Miller was sliding to first base, slip- ped and fell, suffering a broken leg. The M Men immediately organized a committee and collected enough money to take care of the doctor bills and other expenses. Then they joined with the Gleaner Girls and held a sur- prise social at the Miller home, where they presented Vaughn with a check, and enjoyed themselves with games and refreshments. Preaching the Gospel of Better Recreation Granite stake answered the call of the General Boards of the M. I. A. with eighty delegates to the eight weeks' course in recreation held last winter at the Dese'ret Gymnasium. This body of enthusiasts partook of the spirit of the work and entered into the various departments determined to know what constitutes success- ful recreational endeavor. They returned to their stake ready to pass on to the home folks the lesson learned at headquarters, realizing that real benefits come from practical application of the principles outlined and dem- onstrated during the course. It was their unanimous opinion that Granite stake would benefit more from a course to be given to our stake and ward workers, if the stake were divided into districts, hence the decision to divide the stake into four districts as follows: District One: East Mill Creek, Wilford, Highland Park and Wandamere met at Wilford recreation hall. District Two: Farmers, Miller, Burton and Waterloo met at Farmers. District Three: Forest Dale, Sugar House, Parleys and Wells met at Forest Dale. District Four: Richards, Emerson, Hawthorne and Wasatch met at Richards. In each district one evening was devoted to music and special activ- ity work and the next to dance demonstration and instructions. Through the untiring efforts of efficient workers and instructors and the co-operation of the ward and stake officers, the work was handled in a very satisfactory manner and was a big success. Every ward was well represented, the Stake Presidency, High Council, Bishoprics of various wards, all stake and ward auxiliary organizations sending representatives. In all, there were about five hundred people in attendance. Through the courtesy of the bishops of the four wards we had the use of their recreation halls free of charge, and were thus in a position to eliminate expense and give the course without cost to the people. While the recreation spirit was still strong the Stake M. I. A. pro- ceeded to hold a road show, which they called a "Merry-go-Round" and for which the stake was divided into two circuits with programs as follows: (Jircuit No. I : Wilford ward — Dusky Four. Wandamere — Our Jewish Friend from Wandamere. Forest Dale — The Spirit of the Age (With Apologies to Mis- civilization) . Wasatch — Follidolls. Hyland Park — Four Hicks from the Sticks. , Sugar House — Long and the Short of It, Heap-O'-Fun — Leah Yates. Circuit No. 2 : Burton ward — Guess-Who, Whiz Dance. Emerson — Musical \ Fantasy. Richards — The Snow Storm. Hawthorne — Hawthorne Blossoms. Water- i loo — Irish Jig. Wells — Harmonious Vocalians. Farmers — Mirthful Minutes (Stewart, Whittaker 8 Stewart). Big Surprise Act — E. R. Kimball. Fill-in numbers for the stake consisted of monologues, songs, whistling solos, dance acts, etc. The wards each furnished sufficient fill-in acts to take up all time not occupied by the traveling companies. It was made a contest in order to create interest and the winning num-

698 IMPROVEMENT ERA bcrs were reproduced at the stake house at the annual M. I. A. party, which was held Saturday, March 8. In the road show there were eighteen traveling troupes, 52 local acts, or more than 250 people taking part, 35 auros in transporting people from ward to ward and it was accomplished without delay, or accident and prac- tically on schedule time. There were about 2500 people in attendance and who were entertained in the thirteen wards participating. The stake and ward Standards committees handled the judging in a most efficient manner and reported immediately after the entertainment to a central committee, who in turn notified the winning numbers by midnight. To put a finishing touch to the work the following program was later given at the stake tabernacle at the annual M. I. A. party, at which over 600 people attended. Program Selections by the Orchestra (during the assembling of the people). Prince of Pilsen; Love Sends a Little Gift of Roses; There was Once a Owl. Happy Day; Blossom Time. Wasatch Follidolls (Winning number from Circuit No. One) . Musical Odds and Ends — Miss Lillian Mortimer. Dutch Dialect — Louis Kimball. Granite Stake in the Movies. Hawthorne Blossoms (Winning number from Circuit No. Two) . Swanee Singers. Special Activity: Formation march; How do you do, friend, neighbor, grand right and left; Yankee Doodle: Balloon Relay; Hoop Relay; Waltz; Refreshments; the balance of the evening was spent in dancing. The people of Granite stake and visitors, including members of the General Board of the M. I. A. pronounced the party very successful and most enjoyable. Utah Stake Recreation Road Show A unique, competitive performance was arranged for every ward in Utah stake, Tuesday, March 25, at 8 o'clock. The entertainment was called a "Road Show" because entertainers traveled from one ward to another, performing in several different wards in the one evening. The schedule was arranged so that a continuous entertainment was given in each of the twenty odd wards of the stake. In each division a prize was given to the best troupe, judgment being given on the basis of promptness in confirming the schedule, choice of selection, execution, etc. The program presented by the different wards follows: Provo First — Ruth Pierpont and Mildred Jones in a duet dance, and a reading by Mrs. Sterling Ercanbrack. Provo Second — Playlet, "So This Is Venice," followed by a comic male quartette. Provo Third — One act reading by Ruth Perkins and "The End of a Perfect Day," by a colored quartette.

Beal, Member of the General Board XVII. — With a Higher Standard of Living Comes Increased Responsibility The standard of living is higher today in the United States than in any country in the world because our conception of economic life is higher than that of other peoples, and this standard is rising steadily because with increased wealth and opportunities we demand the satisfaction of a greater number of wants. The subsistence and cultural wants have greatly in- creased especially in the last few decades. On every side the wants of the people have been multiplied and diversified. They demand more and better things. Requirements are larger than ever before and more varied and exacting. Better and more varied food than heretofore is generally demanded by workmen, as a result of a more educated taste; the standard of home conditions as to sanitation, light, heat, air, water and other conveniences has steadily advanced; formerly garments were worn until they became threadbare, nowadays they are discarded long before this condition appears; a broader and more general education is demanded, popular books and maga- zines and newspapers are almost included in the necessities of life; and the desire for social intercourse, in this day of general co-operation and inter- dependence, is greater than ever before. People want to mingle with each other, have more holidays and vacations. The growth of cities, the cult of fashion and the increase of education and of leisure have combined to bring about this advance of living standards. As a result of this advance in the standard of living numerous prob- lems face us. First the responsibility of the individual in the conduct of his daily actions has increased, that is, the individual is not supposed to sit down complacently and wait for economic and political transformation to take place, but on the contrary, he is supposed, by his own immediate be-

700 IMPROVEMENT ERA havior, to do something constructive and upbuilding. To add something through competent performance to his own particular occupation. Second, the industrial development in the United States has increased the opportunities for personal efficiency and independence. Technical in- struction for the young man has greatly improved; large industrial organ- izations are now training their younger employees for greater efficiency. In fact, in every kind of practical work nowadays special knowledge can be obtained, and it has its advantages. Even in farming it is of great worth. In this way, those possessing special gifts are being d:scovered and are stimu- lated to greater efficiency. But though the lot of the individual has improved he has much to contend against. The battle in life is not over, and it would be a mistake to think that the individual has in any department of practical or intellectual work obtained complete personal independence. He still has much to con- tend with in his social, economic and intellectual environment. His inde- pendence is precarious. Though he is doing good work, he is not doing his best work; though he believes in himself, he does not believe enough. He is not imbued sufficiently with the idea that so far as he does his best work and only his best work, is he contributing to society what he ought. In brief, then, what the individual needs more than anything else in this advanced economic world, is, perhaps, a completer faith in his own per- sonal power, and a clearer understanding of his own opportunities and re- sponsibilities. He needs to do better what he has been doing, with the con- viction that it makes him a better man and a better citizen. Patriotism should be identified with his work. He should contribute to individual im- provement by making himself a better individual. The individual, as well as the community, must be educated and uplifted chiefly by what the individ- ual can and does do for himself. Before one can serve his fellow man to the fullest, one must sense one's responsibilities and thoroughly qualify himself for them. To him to whom much is given much is expected. Today, as never before, the standard of living throughout all the ranks of population is on a higher plane, and with this economic advantage comes increased responsibility. Everyone who has the opportunity of doing faithful and fearless work and of doing it with ability, energy and excellence and does not, fails to do his duty and cheapens his own personality. Keep Up Interest for April and May The Committee of the Advanced Senior Class of the General Board have forwarded a letter of appreciation, approved by Supt. Geo. Albert Smith and President Martha H. Tingey, to the class leaders throughout the wards and stakes of the Church, to all who responded to their recent request for names and addresses. In it the committee expresses its appreciation of the efforts of the class leaders of this department of the M. I. A. movement which is a progressive part of the "marvelous work and a wonder" of the Lord, in the latter days. It concludes: "In sending you this little note of approval and appreciation, we wish to encour- age you to do your best to keep up the interest of the class and the attendance of the membership during the months of April and May. These months are the most difficult for the teacher to obtain results in these lines. Your general committee are busy at present in providing a new study for the next season, beginning in October. We hope to make the outlines and texts of such interest that the enthusi- asm which you have displayed in the past may continue and increase until the Advanced Senior class in your ward shall be among the best and most paying in your community. "We shall be glad to hear from you and render you any aid possible, directly or through the Era or Journal."

The country's first helium reserve, comprising 7,100 acres of gas bear- ing lands in Emery Co., Utah, has been created by President Coolidge. Except for a few prospecting permits issued about three years ago, full mineral title to it is vested in the government.
