CAMpMEET|NG BOARD
REVIEWS YEAR AND
PLANS FOR next
Attendance This Year Was Not Up to
Last But Camp Was Big Success
Plans Made For New
Building.

Because OF so much ram, coming as
1t did on both Saturdays, the attend
ance was not quite up to last year
which was the banner year. But the
board was greatly pleased at the out
come under the circumstances. The
fact that in every other way the meet
ings were the most successful for
years and that everyone who attended
is arranging to attend again next year,
gives the board great satisfaction.
The chief of police Col. W. d. Hen
erickson reported that the order was
the best ever had If there was one
drop of anything with kick in it" he
failed to discover it. Time was when
it required at least ten policemen to
keep order on Sundays. Only two are
used now and all they have to do is
to watch the automobile parking.
The increase in automobile travelling
has become so great that the board
realizes that some regulations must be
adopted to insure the safety to the
crowds that attend, also for auto
mobile owners. committee was ap-
pointed to draft rule to cover the
needs and to report at the Spring
meeting of the board. 1t was the sense
% hA thnt oil automobiles
should be excluded from the inner part
of the campus just as they are now on
Sundays In order to secure owners of
machines the auto park will be made
secure by having day and night
Waterman. A specially low price for
parking will be made for campers,
The holding of Sunday parties, pic
MICS and frolics Of any kind between
oampmeetings was ruled against by
the board. 1t was the feeling of the
board that such gatherings were out
of harmony with the purpose of the
oampgrounds and bring criticism of
the management for permitting such
doings on the grounds consecrated to
the cause of God. To ward off such
visitors large warning sign will be
placed at each gate, and the ground
keeper who is sworn police officer, in
structed to arrest any who violate the
rules of the association.
Mr. Joseph p. Warder was re-elect-
ed to the position of Ground Keeper.

and Davenport for the part each con-
tributed to the success of the meet
ings. The Board felt that the combina-
ton of talent this year was superior
to any they had ever had before. 1t is
very probable that the most if not all
this talent will be secured again for
next year If possible.
Rev. w. S. Peters and Mr.. j. H.
Richardson were appointed to act with
the district superintendent in secur-
ing talent for next year, they to re-
port at the spring meeting.

A new service may be introduced at
next campmeeting. For a long time
many have felt that there should be
something on the order of Work
ers' Conference" or School of Meth
DDS" for Sunday school workers. The
secretary was instructed to get in
touch with the Board of Sunday
Schools at Chicago and have them
send a Sunday school expert to the
campmeeting next year to conduct
such a meeting. This will no doubt
prove Almost popular move on the part
CT the Board. And 1t will be an unex-
celled opportunity for Sunday school
workers to receive expert instruction.
The committee located a place for
the new building to be erected next
