Many localities have no appliances

are too sacred for use except once a
week, and so the young people drift
The Y. Nj. G. A. In some places supplies
a felt want and In It's classes for study
and In the trades as well as in rooms
with games and gymnastic apparatus
provides the needed appliances for
healthy growth of social life. There is
scarcely place so small or poor that
cannot do something to hold its young
people. Find room, even If 1t is
barn. Have some athletic equipment,
even If 1t be only n broomstick. Enroll
a class, II 1t be but of two members.
Have leader and do systematic
work. All that is necessary you can
do If you have the will. Study some
thing useful and interesting. Some
years since two boys began to study
German together without n teacher
They talked queer mixture of pigeon
German, blt kept at 1t and picked
up some knowledge of the language.
After years brought the chance for for
eign travel and better study. When n
professor was needed in one of our
leading universities and the name of
one of these boys was considered for
the place. he was preferred above all
other candidates because of his ac-
quaintance with German. Other men
are selected because of superior phys
ical training or mental equipment of
various kinds.
Neglect nothing. Let the league stir
