[Leonard J. Arrington]

A Relief Society conference is held on the heels of conferences in April and June for the Primary and Young Women organizations. The format is changed to eliminate training workshops directed by women. Confusion caused by general authorities repeating the same addresses to all three conferences results three years later in limiting the Relief Society to an annual evening meeting in April and the Young Women to a short evening program in September, while dropping the Primary from the conference schedule altogether.
