meeting. The first report was that OF
the committee consisting of Messrs. Dun

rill on "State Summer Institute and
Camp" The committee recommended the
esta blishment of the same and the mat
ter was left with the State executive

that there are but very few cities In the
state which can accommodate the gath
erlngs. But with summer camp unlifn-
tied numbers of boys could be cared Tor.
as it would mean only the furnishing OF
a few more tents and food.
Messrs Jordan. Frost and Wass, the
committee named to report on Uni
formity of Organization" expressed
themselves as favoring some such plan,
the question being as to whether the
clubs should be all under one control or
should be federated, and the federation
plan was thought most feasible. The
matter was referred again to the same
committee to consider further and re-
port at another meeting of the leaders.
Another subject brought up for gen.
eral discussion was what about the 10
per cent. of the boys that are lost to
the church and Sunday school," This
was considered as one of the greatest
problems of the work now going on and
it is hoped to be able to reach the boys
through the organizations now formed
