YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK 353

of the Executive Board of the Walther League and that the Exec-
utive Director of the Walther League or his designated represent-
ative be a voting member of Synod’s Board for Young People’s
Work; and be it further

Resolved, That this resolution become effective when also the
Walther League has adopted a resolution indicating that this ar-
rangement is agreeable.

As far as the report of the Board for Young People’s Work is
concerned, the following resolutions, sponsored by Committee 5,
were adopted:

Resolution 2
Subject: Expanding Training Program in Youth Work
at our Terminal Schools

Wuereas, It is important that prospective pastors and teachers
receive training in the techniques of successful youth leadership
and counseling and that they become familiar with all phases of
Synod’s program for its youth; and

Wuereas, Some recommendations for increased training in
youth work have been included in the proposed curriculum for
junior and senior colleges; therefore be it

Resolved, That we encourage the Board for Young People’s
Work, the Board for Higher Education, and the faculties of our
colleges and seminaries to continue their efforts to provide training
in youth work for our future pastors and teachers.

Resolution 3
Subject: Emphasis on Youth Work in Lutheran Witness

Wuereas, It is of paramount importance to keep the church’s
youth work before as many of our members as possible, partic-
ularly the parents of our youth; and

Wuereas, More material on the youth program of the church
would add to the reader interest of our official organs, the Lutheran
Witness and the Lutheraner; therefore be it

Resolved, (a) That Synod urge the Editorial Board and the
Editorial Staff of the Lutheran Witness and the Lutheraner to give
more space in the columns of the Lutheran Witness and the Lu-
‘theraner to stories, pictures, and reports of youth work and the
youth program of the church; and be it further

Resolved, (b) That the number of pages of the Lutheran Wit-

ness be increased for this purpose if necessary, and that Synod
provide additional funds for this added coverage.
