nt and Recreation Committee: Where delegates attend from
out-of-town, this committee arranges for their entertainment at the
homes of friends. At a local conference this committee is steadily on
the lookout for the purpose of making the conference and delegates
comfortable. Fresh air, telephone service, messages, etc., all of these
are highly important. This committee also should be responsible for
adequate plans for the conference recreation.
5. Banquet Committee: The details for the conference banquet, the
seating of the delegates and the serving of the food, all come under
this committee. If a special banquet menu and program are used, this
also is the duty of the committee. An orchestra to play through the
eating period is a splendid feature.
6. Sunday Meeting Committee: This committee should give careful
attention to the following details:
(a) _That any boy over fifteen years and under twenty-one years be
admitted to the meeting. One leader to each group of boys may attend,
but these must sit by themselves in the rear of the room_.
To secure these arrangements it will be necessary to put a force of
determined adult watchers at every door.
(b) Be sure to have a live organist, pianist or orchestra to lead the
music. A director to lead the singing, _with ginger_, will help.
(c) Have four ushers to each double or central aisle, and have two to
each single or side aisle.
(d) Everyone present at the meeting should have a song book or sheet.
(e) Be sure to have a plain white card, 3x5, and a small sharpened
pencil for each one present. This is absolutely necessary for the
Forward Step part of the meeting.
IV. Letters to be sent out (Publicity Committee):
1. _To Pastor_, _Superintendent_ or _Teacher_:
(a) Announcing the conference, its nature, purpose, etc.
(b) That it is confined to older boys--15 to 20 years--and one adult
leader from each school.
(c) From three to five delegates (Christian boys).
(d) Ask for name of adult leader.
(e) Enclose Postal Card.
2. _To Sunday School Adult Leader_:
(a) Send plan of conference and details.
(b) Enclose Tentative Program.
(c) Ask for names of boy (Christian) delegates, setting time limit and
enclosing credentials.
(d) Suggest that leader have a meeting of the delegates before the
conference to consider what the conference may mean to their own local
Sunday school.
