The closing exercises OF the Young
Mems Christian Association Evening Col
legc took place last night IN the audito-
s5r!um of z NJ. c. "A. building. The pro-
graname included solos by Mrs. c. T,
Brensle, and Mr.. F. Robert Stokes and
address by Rev. Maurice Penifield Fixes.
Z; u. D., of Baltimore. Mr.. Fixes auuress,
4 though brief, was clear-cut and elo-
qnenr.
He treated tomorrow as the future.
4, saf,d said such youths as he had before him
among the students of the night school,
were the best signs of the times. The
best man for tomorrow. he said, must
be triangular.
The Educational Glass Committee in
report, read by Mr.. S. Al. Woodward,
said among other things:
There was total enrolment OF 3oI on
the part Of 17s different men ana boys.
and some of the boys have attended four
nights a week. not few OF them corning
long distances and making remarkable
srecord in attendance. There was total
of 6sl class sessions. with an attendance
of 9,476 an average Of a. per class.
The Young Mems Christian Association,
! in maintaining these night schools, seeks
ITO provide opportunities for mental de-

cnces. and If it be true that knowledge
IS power" then these young men are
eanade more valuable to themselves and to
their employers. A magnificent oppor-
! tunity is upon the association, and IL
would be a great blessing to the young
y men Of the present and future generations
il means were given us by Christian cld-
liens werewith to increase the number of
our Industrial and trade classes. The

$, with the building, and its competent ex-
j ecutire force already provided, the tctai
cost of maintaining these night educa-
tional classes. for instruction and Incl

nance of these classes as feature OIL
a association work is not only highly de-
tsirable from a moral, but also from an
economical standpoint Again, our mag
nificent work is but a link in a great
chain. Last year $50 associations con-

an average Of s4.0l per student. These
facts indicate the popularity OF oul,
schools and the economy OF the plan, Tor
lad this same work been done through
Independent organization. the expense
would unquestionably have been five
times greater.
