residents of Havana, of whom there are
many, including Germans, Spaniards and
natives. The English language will not be
membership requisite, however, and the
rolls will be opened to all.

sistant secretaries, including Mr.. Hirayama,
native japanese, and Mr.. Dzau, ma
tive Chinaman, who are in this country
studying Y. NJ. c. A. methods preparatory
to becoming secretaries in their own land.
The Washington association has been Sc
lected by the international committee as
Y. NJ c. A. training school, and in addition
to the two orientals there will be Mr.. r.
l.. Ewing, who soon leaves for India, and
Mr.. w. L. Beard, from Foochow China.
Mr.. Beard was president of the American
board of foreign missions for some time,
and was selected by that international in
terdenominational body to take up Y. M. c.
A. work, with a view to applying it more
extensively in China and Korea. He will
remain here only three weeks, becoming
acquainted with association work, when he
returns to his missionary field.
