on youth work to bring about the adding of college credit courses
to the curricula at our colleges; and

work does not include college credit courses at the Seminaries;
therefore be it

semester hour be added to the curricula of our theological sem-
inaries and teachers colleges to furnish our graduates the neces-
sary theoretical training to carry on efficient youth work; and
be it further
Resolved, That particular stress be placed upon adolescent psy-
chology in these courses.
