Each supervisor expressed the thrills they received from being associated with the Aaronic Priesthood boys. It was explained by Bishop G. W.

The new program provide for the advancement of the boys as they become old enough to be advanced. If they follow the program and attend to their church activities as required, they are worthy of advancement If every boy in the ward were advanced in the Priesthod there soon would be no adult Aaronic Priesthood.
