secretary must devote himself 10
countless and diverse duties. He
must be man among men. under
standing men and meeting them on
their own plane. They must be bus
mess men. They should be able to
attain the ideal OF association work.
which shall be to the community
what the New York association is.
where the financial standing is o. the
highest, and Notwithstanding the
great and diversified aud ever-in-
creasing work which it does. always
pays its bills promptly when due,
and never has q deficit: and what the
Detroit association is to its commun-
ity, the center of the social life OF the
city; ana what the Boston associa-
ton is with its gymnasium. the cen
ter OF physical development and up
building: and what the Denver asso-
citation IS. where every member is
guaranteed employment; and wha;
the Dayton association is, where it is
the center of educational work. and
what the Minneapolis association is.
where the religious pulse of the city
beats. When the general secretary
shall have so trained and taught
himself as TO be competent TO carry
on all these lines OF work in their per-
lection. he will have gone tar toward
the goal of intellectual growth.
