oJfyLutuaL Work Instructions to Recreational Leaders of the M. I. A. Preparing and Presenting Programs We recognize that there are constantly coming into the recreational leadership of the M. I. A. new men and women, and in order that there may be no misunderstanding among these new workers, we desire to emphasize two points set forth in our Official Recreation Guide. We state, under the assignment, that when the program is adopted by the Bishopric and auxiliary executive officers of a ward, its execution is in the hands of the M. I. A. Committee on Recreation. What we mean by "execution" is that we are re- sponsible to see that the work is done by those to whom it is assigned, that they live up to our recreational standards, and that our recreation committees are to be helpful in assisting the various organizations, wherever possible, in preparing their programs, but we do not wish to take it out of the hands of the several organizations to present the program which they have prepared. After the year-round program has been approved by the various executive of- ficers of the auxiliary organizations of the ward, in connection with the bishopric, each organization must prepare its own program. The character of the program is usually agreed upon, as to whether it shall be a drama, a play program, a dancing party, etc., but the details of this activity should be left with the officers of the organization which is to present the entertainment. It may be illustrative of their particular work. We do not mean to say that when the program is prepared, by any of these organizations, that the M. I. A. Committee shall take over the presentation of the program. It should always be presented by the officers of the organization who have prepared it. Importance of Monthly Meeting With Stake and Ward Authorities The other item is in connection with the instructions that went from the Presidency of the Church, on March 8, 1923, to Presidents of stakes. We quote the following paragraph: "We suggest that once a month you could with profit have a meeting with the presiding officers of the stake auxiliary boards, and the bishopric a similar meeting with the presiding officers of their ward auxiliaries, providing an opportunity to correlate their work, keep harmony among their organizations, and a closer co- operation between the presiding authorities in stakes and wards and the presiding officers of the auxiliary organizations." We have found that where this monthly meeting in the stake is held with the presidency and the stake M. I. A. Committee on Recreation, as well as the executive officers of the several stake boards: and where this monthly meeting in the ward is held with the bishopric, the M. I. A. Committee on Recreation and the executive officers of the ward auxiliaries, that perfect harmony has been obtained and our program has been well understood, and the hearty cooperation of all organizations have been given to the united program which they have all had a part in creating. There are also many other questions outside of recreation that could well come before such a group in the interest of harmony. We hope that our M. I. A. Committees are asking the Priesthood authorities for the opportunity,

MUTUAL WORK 563 monthly, of meeting this group in order that there may be a proper co- operation in approving and carrying out our programs. The Lord bless our M. I. A. recreation leaders, that they may get the vision of their responsibility, as servants of the people under the direction of the Priesthood, with the guidance of the M. I. A. general officers, to render service for all the organizations and people of the Church. — M. I. A. GENERAL Boards. Introduction to the M. I. A. Slogan— 1926-27 APRIL, 1927 "We stand for a testimony of the divine mission of Joseph Smith." Monthly Themes: October — How to obtain a testimony. November — The announcement of the restoration of the gospel. December — The need of the restoration of the gospel. January — The heavens are opened and the Lord speaks. February — The Book of Mormon a testimony of the divine mission of Joseph Smith. March — Authority. April — Works. 1. Work for the Living. — Christ said, "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matt. 24:14. The Lord revealed to Joseph Smith that the gospel of Jesus Christ was to go forth into all the world and unto the uttermost parts of the earth , and must be preached unto every creature. Doc. and Cov. 58:64; 133:8, 9. Joseph Smith was energetic in the accomplishment of this work, and each succeeding president of the Church has earnestly sustained it. Wherever it has been possible to gain admission for missionaries, they have been sent. Hundreds are kept constantly in the mission field. The Lord called the weak and filled them with his Spirit as he promised he would do. Men and women have answered this call, some hardly realizing the meaning of missionary work, untrained, but with a message from the Lord and they deliver it in their simple way. Thousands, hungry for the truth, have recognized the voice of the true shepherd, for they were the chil- dren of Israel, and have accepted the gospel. Fulfiling this missionary calling, as the Church has so successfully done, indicates that the mission of Joseph is divine. 2. Work for the Dead. — In direct fulfilment of Malachi's prediction (Malachi 4:6) , the Prophet Elijah gave instructions to Joseph Smith as found in Doc. and Cov. 110:14-16. Joseph Smith understood that this work of salvation was for the dead. While living according to God in the spirit, they are to be judged according to man in the flesh. I Peter 4:6. Baptism for the dead was an ordinance in the Primitive Church. I Cor. 15. The gospel is preached to those in the spirit world. I Peter 3:19, 29. Joseph inaugurated the work as he was commissioned to do. By the power of God, this work is going on. There are evidences all about us of the hearts of fathers and children turning to each other. Our temples are filled with Latter-day Saints working for their dead. The people are busy with their genealogical research wotk. Genealogical investigation is extended into many countries by people not of our faith. 3. The Gathering of Israel. — Moses committed the keys for the gathering of Israel to Joseph Smith. Doc. and Cov. 110:11. Centuries ago the children of Israel were scattered among all nations, where thousands

564 , IMPROVEMENT ERA are living at the present time, and their gathering must form a great part of the work of the latter days. "I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them."- Jer. 23:3; Doc. and Cov. 133:7. "And after they have been scattered and the Lord God hath scourged them by other nations for the space of many generations, yea, even down from generation to generation * * * the day will come when it must needs be expedient that they should believe these things. And the Lord will set his hand again the second time to restore his people from their lost and fallen state." 2Nephi25:15, 16, 17; 6:14; 3 Nephi 5 :24-26. "Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation." Isa. 45:17. From the time Joseph Smith received these keys, the spirit of gathering has rested upon the people. Thousands of Latter-day Saints who heard the gospel message in their native lands bear witness to receiving the spirit of gathering, impulses which they did not understand; and so powerfully were they impressed that they willingly left home and loved ones and traveled thousands of miles under distressing conditions to be with the Church and people of God. 4. The Building of Zion. — Zion is the pure in heart. Doc. and Cov. 97:21. Zion is also a place. Doc. and Cov. 35 :25 ; 49:25 ; 101 :70; 109:59; 136:10, 18. Zion is the whole land of America. History of the Church, vol. 6, pp. 318-19, remarks by Joseph Smith, the Prophet; vol. 6, pp. 321-22, remarks by Brigham Young. The Church itself is a witness to the divine mission of Joseph Smith. What to do in April The M. I. A. Year- Round Recreation Program provides that the "Civic Pride Campaign" should be vigorously observed in April. This provides for the improvement of home and ward surroundings, church grounds and buildings, fences and play-fields; also for flower-growing contests and gen- eral improvement in civic affairs. The slogan should be, clean up, paint up, improve, — cleaner homes, cleaner towns, cleaner roads and fields. The M I. A. are advised to cooperate with other organizations in this important work, or take the lead, if thought best. Attention is called to pages 18, 19 and 20 of the program. In case you have lost yours, a few may still be obtained from the general office on application. Of course, officers will not forget the current items of studying and othei activity that are always uppermost in the association, and particularly make some provision for sustaining the attendance at the regular meetings, and accelerating the regular work. "Mormon" Standards Approved The practical value of the standards for right living advocated by the Mutual Improvement Associations and by the Church in general was demon- strated recently in Arizona. In commenting upon the incident, the Arizona Gazette, published at Phoenix, says: "If there is anyone left who wonders just how much help right-living is to an athlete, cite him to Arizona's 'Mor- mon' schoolboys." A basketball team from Safford, Arizona. "Mormon" settlement in the Gila valley, won the high school title, for the state, in the tournament games played at Tucson. This team, most of whom were "Mormons," was considered inferior in every respect; but, won from a bigger, faster, better-drilled team by the sheer pluck and stamina that come from right liv-

MUTUAL WORK 565 ing. On the same night, at Phoenix, the Gila College team, most of whom also were "Mormon" boys, defeated the Tempe Teachers College for the Arizona informal conference championship. Gila is the smallest school, except one, in point of enrollment, in the conference, with fewer available ath- letes; yet, this "Mormon" school went through the season without defeat, playing twenty-four games, just as they were scheduled. The newspaper item again states: "Mesa, predominently a 'Mormon' community, has a record of athletic achievements that would compare favorably with that of any other town of its size in the country. The tenets of the 'Mormon' Church demand temperate habits and abstention from those vices which, it so happens, are most likely to undermine athletic stamina. 'Mormon' athletes seldom break training." This is a practical, powerful recommendation, not only to athletes, but to all members of our Y. M. M. I. A., and to youth in general, who aspire to achievement in every phase of life. Men and women, boys and girls, who adhere to these standards "seldom break training" in any line of endeavor — they usually reach the goal, with honors. These STANDARDS comprise a safe recipe for SUCCESS. Prize Offered for a Short Play The Improvement Era offers a prize of $40 for the best one-act play. The decision of the judges will be final. The subject may center around : 1. Any gospel theme, or pioneer experience; 2. The M. I. A. work; 3. Outdoor subjects — Fathers and Sons' Outings, Scouting, etc. The offer is open to all. Manuscripts must be in the hands of the editor of the Improvement Era on or before the first day of October, 1927. The play should be unsigned and accompanied by a sealed envelope con- taining the name and address of the author and the title of the play. The range of the subjects may be as broad as the work of the M. I. A. or- ganization; it need not be confined to the foregoing suggestions, but the theme should be consistent with and relevant to M. I. A. standards and work. The play winning the prize is to become the property of the Improve- ment Era. All other manuscripts ,will be returned or arrangements made for their purchase. The Era printed The Unequal Yoke in 1925. See this number for The Rescue, the winner in 1926. What will be the title and who the winner in 1927? Dramatic Contest in Summit Stake Through the united efforts of the stake Recreation Committee and the local M. I. A., one more step was made in the Summit stake toward better recreation in a dramatic contest. The contest was in the form of a one-act play, each of the seven wards entering presenting a different, interesting play. Two nights were taken for the occasion. April 28, at Oakley ward, and March 2, at Hoytsville ward. The people of Summit stake have pro- nounced it two of the best evenings of entertainment they have ever spent. Three prizes were awarded by the M. I. A. Stake Board. Coalville ward took first place, with The Unequal Yoke; Kamas, second place, with a comedy, Her Forgetful Husband; Henefer third place, with the play, Hans Von Smash. Other dramas presented were, All in a Fog, by Oakley ward; Jerry, Hoystville ward; The Robbery, by Peoa ward; and Honor Bound, by Wanship ward. These plays opened avenues of expression from the young people in a dramatical line. Let's have more of them — Mae Rees. Coalville, Utah.

566 IMPROVEMENT ERA Current Events A Study for the M. I. A. Advanced Senior Classes 1926-27 (Prepared by the Advanced Senior Committee) LESSONS FOR APRIL, 1927 I— POLITICS AND INDUSTRY 1. Installment Buying. This kind of buying has been growing for about fifty years until it has become a common practice in this country, and particularly since 1920. Too, it has not been confined to one class of goods, but covers almost all kinds. Houses, life insurance, stocks and bonds are sold on installments on an extensive scale. But automobiles stand far above all other commodities, equalling about $1,500,000,000 of the total installment debt at the present time. Household furniture comes second, and is about 19% of the total installment debt. About 80% of all phonographs, 75% of washing machines, 65% of vacuum cleaners, 25% of jewelry, and the greater part of pianos and radios are said to be sold on the installment plan. Even a great deal of clothing, approximately $140,000,000 worth, is sold annually on deferred payments, but this is usually for a short time. Questions 1. What is meant by the "installment plan"? 2. What is your opinion of this kind of buying? 3. Is installment selling a bad policy, and when does it break out in most lines of business? 4. Should installment credit be confined to production purposes only, or may it also be used for consumption goods? 5. If it is resorted to by the buyer of consumption goods, is it detrimental to the source of wealth? 6. Does installment credit increase either consumption or production? 7. Why is it that installment credit is used more for the purchase of automo- biles than for any other kind of goods? Has this been a hindrance or a benefit to the automobile industry? 8. How does installment credit affect the price of goods, especially in the purchase of cars? 9. Is it not true that even the installment buyer pays less for his car today than the cash buyer did a few years ago? Reference: Commerce and Finance, vol. 14, Jan. 19, 1927, pp. 173-4: Sales Management, Jan. 23, 1926, p. 80; Credit Monthly, Aug., 1926, p. 12. 2. Farmers' Fight for Tax Reform. All over the country farmers are asking for a redistribution of the tax burden between farmers and other classes. The increasing proportion of population which holds the wealth in the form of securities and other intangibles, tends to upset the old theories of taxation, and yet they remain, which throws an undue burden upon the farmer whose wealth is mostly in real estate. Farm taxes, they estimate, are 112% above the 1914 level, though the prices for farm crops are only 44% above the pre-war level. Moreover taxes have increased since 1924 in many states, despite the decreased selling price of farm lands, all of which tends to drive the agriculturist from the land into the city.

MUTUAL WORK 567 Questions 1. What can be the remedy? 2. Should other sources besides property be made available to meet government costs? 3. Should ability to pay taxes be made the major consideration? 4. How may intangible property be reached? 5. Will an income tax or a classified property tax help? If so, how? Reference: Literary Digest, Feb. 12, 192 7, p. 53. 3-. Lower Postal Rates in Sight. According to the newspapers, it looks as if we might expect a revision soon of second-class postal rates. Many papers are anxious that this should come about, and that while we should not, perhaps, return to the postal rates of 1917, yet at the same time we should provide for the widest possible dissemination of news. It appears that the 1920 rates produced an increase of 1 3 million dollars over the old flat rates, while the increased postal rates since 1920 have reduced the volume of newspapers and have increased the revenue less than one-half of 1%. They are asking, therefore, that the government return to a rate on which they got the most service and the government the most revenue. The Senate Post-Office Committee favors the restoration of the 1920 second-class-matter rates which would save the newspapers and magazines about seven million dollars a year; they also favor the repeal of the 2c service charge of parcel post matter revenue in 1925. As a rule the postal department of our gov- ernment seldom makes a profit; it seems to have made less by the high rates than by lower rates, and consequently many believe that it would be a paying proposition for the government to go back to 1920 rates. Some also feel that if the government will reduce the rate on private postal cards from 2c to lc, the direct-to-the-customer method of advertising will be encouraged, and consequently business will increase, because increased advertising increases business. Questions 1. Do you think that the postal rates are excessive? 2. Are private concerns in competition with the government? 3. What is the fundamental purpose of cheap rates on second-class matter? 4. Do you believe that there should be a restriction of franked material sent out by Congressmen and other government officials? 5. Does this material stimulate or benefit the public? 6. Should the zone system of the parcel post department be further simplified in the interest of the public generally? Reference: Literary Digest, Feb. 12, 192 7, p. 12. 4. Growth of Population in the United States. It is estimated that since the census of 1920 the population in the United States has increased about thirteen million, or more than the total population of almost any South American country, or Mexico, or Canada. This increase has been due to an increase of births over deaths and immigration. However, the popula- tion has not been equally distributed over the United States. In some states, Vermont, Mississippi, and Nevada, and North Dakota, the population has remained stationary, while New York, Pennsylvania, California. Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Texas and New Jersey, have been the big gainers. This goes to show that the drift of population is from the farm to the cities and the industrial centers. Some have attributed this to the per capita tax increase in the agricultural states. Questions 1. Why is population gravitating to the cities? Is this a good sign? Discuss the problem. 2. Why has the population of California and Florida especially increased in the last few years? Does this show that more work is obtainable in those states, or that they have some other attraction? 3. To what is this increased population due, birth rate exceeding the death rate, or increased immigration, or decline in the death rate, or all three?

568 IMPROVEMENT ERA 4. Must the United States depend more and more upon its own residents for increased population? Why? 5. Can the United States support this increased population, or will we more and more have to import food stuffs from other countries? 6. Has the population in some states already been stabilized, that is, by the resources of those states? 7. How docs the density of population in this country compare with England, Belgium and Germany? Reference: Literary Digest, February 19, 192 7, pp. 5-6. II— SCIENCE AND INVENTION 1. How may we best protect goods from moths? Moth balls may repel the moth fly, but will not kill the caterpillar. The fumes of a cedar chest will destroy moth eggs and kill young cater- pillars. Some gases that will kill moths will injure a man. Some others will destroy the color of the dyes. Some are inflammable. Napthaline, or ordinary tar camphor, is the best protector against moths. An economic point of view is much preferable. Paper bags filled, tightly tied and hung in the sunlight are recommended by Professor Harold Sellers Colton, University of Pennsylvania. (See article in Science Monthly, January, 1927, p. 47.) 2. The Sun Losing Weight. How much is the sun losing in weight every second? How long will it endure at that rate of decrease? Can matter be unmade or changed into something that is not matter? (See Scientific Monthly, January, 1927, page 90.) 3. Who is a Moron? Can feeble-mindedness be cured? Some strong light is thrown on these questions by Dr. Henry H. Goddard, of the Ohio University, in an article published in the Science Monthly, January, 1927. If the army tests mean anything, what part of the population of our country are morons? What was the origin of the term moron? (See Literary Digest, January 29, 1927, page 19.) 4. The Seeing of Sound. So we are to see sound and people may be taught to speak properly by seeing the picture of their spoken words! Singers, by seeing their singing, may improve their voices. (See Literary Digest, February 5, 1927, pp. 23-24.) What is the name of this new sound-seeing invention? How is it used to help the oil prospector? What is "a walking mountain"? (See Literary Digest, January 29, 1927, page 22.) 5. Transmission of Human Faces. In an article on Television, Lucian Fournier tells us, among other things, that the experimenter, Mr. Barna, at a new demonstration, showed that he could transmit faces of human beings sitting in a room of inky blackness to a screen fixed in another room in which the watchers were in total darkness. (See Science and invention, March, 1927, pages 938 and 1066.) 6. The Family Cook Stove. Do you know how high your cooking stove or range should be? Why should the oven not be on the left side of the cooking burners? (See Literary Digest, February 19, 192 7, page 24.) 7. Sowing From Airplanes. Canada is sowing rice from airplanes over inaccessible swamps to feed wild fowls. (Science and Invention, March, 1927.)

MUTUAL WORK 569 8. Utah's Attendance at Philadelphia Meeting. At the recent Philadelphia meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the registration attendance was 3,181, three of whom were from Utah, with a population of 449,446; and 665 of whom were from New York, with a population of 10,384,144. (See Science Monthly, January, 1927.) On a basis of per capita representation, how many representatives should have gone from Utah to equal the attendance from the Empire State? Ill— ART AND LITERATURE Is American Art Coming to the Front? The American artists are rising in rebellion against the apparent dis- regard of their work by art purchasers in favor of foreign artists. They have adopted a new slogan — "See Americans First," which is the result of seeing huge sums paid for old masters and nothing for their own work. They feel that the foreign painter has been over-paid and call it American Art Snobbism. To emphasize the need of "seeing Americans first," the Associated Dealers in American Painters have arranged an exhibition at the Anderson Galleries in New York, which is to call attention to the work of American artists. It is the belief of many that America should declare her independence. French critics are wont to characterize American Art as an offshoot of the French school, as if nothing had ever happened here that could not be traced to the influence of Parisian training. Mr. Forbes Watson, of the New York World, agrees that Americans do suffer from artistic snobbism, but he seems to imply that American conser- vatism in the selling of pictures is at the bottom of the matter rather than snobbism. "Due to economic pressure, European salesmanship is much more intensive and far-reaching in its methods than American salesmanship, which is slightly softened by our immense prosperity. America is the wealthiest market in existence. The European salesmen have their eyes on it every minute of the twenty-four hours. The volume of their propaganda is immense and they are in touch with practically every American collector of contemporary art. The result is that the general American public does not know the rising artists as well as it should. If the Associated Dealers eventually extend the scope of their lists, so that the public can 'see Amer- icans first,' perhaps we shall all be happily cured of our snobbism." George Luks, the painter, in the New York Herald-Tribune, says, "If the millions that rich Americans are spending on counterfeit 'old masters,' were dumped in a subsidy for young artists, there would be a golden age of art here in this generation." He claims that the people who have money to spend on art, are, gener- ally speaking, incapable of appreciating it, and the people who can appreciate it have no money with which to buy it, but have to wait until someone leaves their collection to some museum before having an opportunity of seeing masterpieces. He ends by saying that the American artists are second to none. (See Literary Digest for February 26, 1927.) Questions What claim can America lay to Art Production? "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country." Does this hold true in regard to American Artists? Has the French school had the greatest influence over American art? What other countries have influenced it? Name the most outstanding American Artists. Name some of the Utah Artists and tell of their accomplishments.
