The organized class becomes "our class," not the "teacher's class." The unorganized class suffers greatly if the teacher is removed, and sometimes is obliged to disband.

The appointment of special committees, the assignment of definite work to each committee, and the introduction of various class activities does much toward realizing the ideal--"an adequate Christian service for every member." Large and permanent success is assured when this ideal is attained. =Standard of Organization= 1.
