[First Presidency Letter] Letter indicating a decision by the First Presidency that changed the Church program for girls ages 12-16. Prior to this time, they had been the joint responsibility of the Primary Association and the Y.W.M.I.A. organization. Henceforth, they were to be the responsibility of the Y.W.M.I.A., thus placing both boys and girls of this age group under the same direction.
