First Meeting.—­Don’t rush things.  You will gain much by making the fellows feel that you are all working this problem out together and that the prayerful cooperation of every member is necessary.  Don’t stampede the meeting with a lot of elaborate plans.  If you have any plans, turn them over to the Council by way of suggestion, and let that body use its own judgment.  Everything that is done by the Council should emanate from its members.  It is suggested that the purpose and program of this meeting should be somewhat as follows: 

(a) Statement of purpose of Council.

(b) Trace connection of Council to International work (i.e., Council, City Secondary Division Committee, City Secondary Division Superintendent, County Secondary Division Superintendent, State or Provincial Secondary Division Committee, State or Provincial Secondary Division Superintendent, International Secondary Division Committee, International Secondary Division Superintendent, etc.—­this to show them that they are officially related to a world-wide movement).

(c) Fellowship and “Get Together.”

Be sure to have Adult members at this meeting.

Second Meeting (two weeks after first).—­

At this meeting discuss: 

(a) Importance of class organization—­each member urged to get to work at once in his local school.

(b) Age limit of classes now in the organization.

(c) Outline possibilities of Council for promotion and all-round physical, mental, social and spiritual activities of teen age fellows of the Sunday schools of the city.

(d) Discuss the idea of the census survey.

These two meetings will pave the way for the third and following meetings.  Don’t meet simply for the sake of holding a meeting.  Let your fellows feel that when a call to meeting is received it is important.

Third and Subsequent Meetings

1.  Lay your plans carefully for the census-taking, then complete the job quickly.

2.  Analyze the cards and distribute to the organized classes.  Their work then begins.  Encourage regular reports on the work of the classes at each meeting of the Council, the school representatives reporting.

3.  Plan for the execution of the Missionary, Purity and Temperance Programs.

4.  Extend the Council’s field until it covers the common physical, social, mental and spiritual activities of the community teen age boys.

5.  Plan for regular Conference or Banquet Programs.

6.  Ultimately the entire common Sunday school athletic and social life of the community would center in the Inter-Sunday School Council.

Meeting of Superintendents

It is suggested that at this juncture a meeting of Sunday school Superintendents be called for the purpose of thoroughly acquainting them with the plans of the Council.  This will secure the cooperation of the Superintendents, which is most essential.  The effort to get the Superintendents behind the work will be more successful if the city be divided into sections and a Superintendents’ meeting be held in each section.  These meetings can be made very helpful.
