The aim of Primary Associations for this year, throughout the Church, is: "Improved management and teaching. With all seven ward boards it looks as though our Primary children in this Stake are going to be well cared for in their weekday religious training. We are proud of these splendid boards. Vineyard has with Sisters Vetta A. reorganized Madsen, Nora Harding and Anita Varley at the head. Pleasant View has a new organization headed by Sisters Alta Bean, Edna Ilansen and Amelia Ford. They come into these positions, as do members of their boards, with a love and enthusiasm for the work so characteristic of Primary workers.

If the Gospel is more essential than the public school curriculum, then we must prepare to meet the new changes. So we plead with you to attend the best, and of the most essential organization Church, the Sunday Schools.
