Ben, the magazine was then something like 60 or 70 years old — isn’t it time it grew up? (When you-all have been around that long, we’ll talk about updating your name then!)
That’s how I read it, Christopher. Kind of unwieldy, no? Next one to the library should check to see exactly what did appear on the 1930 covers.

I guess The Instructor is a little better than what I was thinking–The Latter-day Saint Journal formerly known as the Juvenile Instructor.
Hmm, think what we might have, Steve, had there still been a Relief Society Magazine with an Enrichment insert, which would have to be renamed to The Relief Society Magazine but Not THE Relief Society Magazine.

Ardis, with that title I thought we were going to get a bar mitzvah speech.

Apparently, the experiment in binding your juveniles didn’t work out all that well. Now we’re binding Instructors? Seems harder, and less satisfying. But there are, according to this ad, a lot fewer of them, so I guess it might all work out in the end.

Are you trying to send a hint?

This advertisement suggests the new name was “The Instructor: Formerly The Juvenile Instructor.” Am I reading that right?

Well, now it’s time to put away childish things.
Does that mean no more smart alecky comments?

kevinf, sometime, somewhere, there must have been a Sunday School class of rowdy boys who did exactly that …
Mark, is the Pope Buddhist?
