MONEY WILL
Be SPENT.
Y. NJ. c. A. Proposes to
Push Education
Department.

The Y. NJ. c. A. is preparing to make
an active work of its educational de-
partment during the coming year. A
number of classes. are to be formed or
are in the process of formation. Speak
ing of the new years work, Secretary
H. C. Brown says enthusiastically:
"a goodly proportion of the young
men who are earning living in this
city realize that their education is far
from complete, and that they need in
tellectual help ana stimulus Many a
young man, too, who may not appreci-
ate the things in which he is deficient,
can see a larger salary ahead if he will
study to perfect hIs education along
the line he is already in or if he will
qualify for a more congenial occupa-
ton. Correspondence schools are doing
some much-needed work, especially for
men who live in isolated places. We
believe in Them but it goes without
saying that the need of a teacher to
personally assist and encourage the
student is almost imperative in many
cases. The ideal method is to have a
teacher at your command whenever
you wish him, but the ordinary young
man has not the dollar an hour to pay.
THE Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation appreciates this and proposes
to spend $500 and a good deal of
thought to give the ambitious young
man a splendid opportunity to learn
by night while he earns by day. The
correspondence school is business or
ganization with the purpose of money
making. The Association does not be-
gin to get back the money it pays its
teachers, and Prof. Edgar Wood, Rev.
Alex. Macintosh, Principal C. B. Dyke,
Hon. w. F. Frear, and E. T. Tannatt
give their services freely in planning
for and looking after the conduct OF
the classes. Instead of sending away
$40 to $25 for course 1t is the privilege
of any young man to take a So annual
a class fee of only 81 pursue one of the
courses for six months, two evenings
a week being devoted to every study
except typewriting. For the typewrit-
ing class which meets every Tuesday
evening, F. J. Armstrong, the popular
head of the commercial course at the
High School, has been engaged.
1.-THE English classes will spend a
good deal of time on business CORE
spondence and the correction of every
day mistakes in the use of the Ian
guage. B. n. Newman, formerly in
charge of the English department of
the San Francisco Business College,
will adapt himself to the needs of these
classes which come Wednesdays and
Fridays.
Jos. D. Bicknel1 viii continue his large
classes, elementary and advanced, in
in charge of the courses in bookkeep-
ing on Tuesdays and Thursdays TIC
the advanced students he will give
abundant practice work in Fundamental
principles, paying particular attention
to the use of the cash book, opening
and closing books, and accounting in
| several lines of business.
"a. A. Hobson continues to instill
Pitman's principles into the heads and
| fingers OF the stenography class Tues
days and Thursdays from s to 9. Mr.
c. A. Macdonald's practical courses in
| mechanical and architectural drawing
will be sure to attract old students and
new.
THE charges for these courses is
| ridiculously low, thanks to the assist
ance furnished by the Bishop Trust
The students do not have to write anG
wait month to get their questions
answered, nor do they lack the stimulus
of rubbing up against other students
So it would seem no more necessary tc
send away large money order fol
these particular courses than for {
| physical development system wher
there is so competent physical direc,
tor in a gymnasium in our midst
Saturday evening, September q, most
of the teachers will be present at an
educational social to be held in Asso-
citation hall, and all young men whc
| are Joining or who have the least idee
OF joining are urged to be present t.
meet the teachers, get acquainted with
them and to have pleasant social time
together.
