=The Banquet Seating Plan=

The delegates from each Sunday school should sit together, and when practicable be also grouped by denominations.  At the close of the address on the Crusade the Inter-Sunday School Council should be formed.

This shall consist of two older boys and one man from each participating Sunday school.  The Council is subject to the call of the Chairman of the Secondary Division Committee.

Method of Enrollment

1.  After the presentation of the Crusade, pass a colored card to each delegation, asking them to confer and to write on the card the names and addresses of the two older boys they may choose to represent their school, the name of school, also the names and addresses of the teachers of the chosen delegates.

The Adult representative from each school should be selected later by the committee in charge of the Crusade Conference.

2.  Pass white cards, as soon as the colored ones have been properly filled; or, better yet, place a white card in each banqueter’s program and challenge to service and training.

3.  Write to each chosen representative before the first called meeting, enclosing credential card to be signed by the superintendent of the school, the pastor of the church, and write to each of these men enclosing the plan of the Crusade.

=First Meeting of Council=

Do not allow more than two weeks to pass until the Council meets to lay its plans.  Strike, and keep on striking while the iron is hot.

The Follow-Up.—­Call at once a meeting of the older-boy representatives on the Inter-Sunday School Council.  Do not call in the men until later.  This is an =Older Boy Movement=, and you are going to get the Older Fellows in the Sunday school to go after the Older Fellows out of the Sunday school.  Impress upon the Council that this is their job and whatever success is achieved will be due to their efforts.  Let a clean-cut spiritual atmosphere prevail at these meetings.  You will find that the boys are there for business.

It is suggested that the meetings be held Saturday evening, beginning at 5:30 with supper, to cost not more than fifteen cents per plate.
