college in Minnesota. For three years
he held the position OF principal OF the
Mountain State Business college OF
West Virginia and generally conceded
to be the largest school of its kind Ill

State Business college he supplied ac-
countantS 10 many of the best 1nstitu-
tions in the valley, including the mu-
nicipal organizations. He came to the

its kind that will have been started in
any Y. M. G. A. in the country, and
the eyes Of the whole country Will be
on the Los Angeles Young Mems Chris
tian association to see whether the day
school proposition is a success If 1t
proves to be all that is expected of it,
MANY other organizations in the cOun-
try will establish day schools. But
as usual, it is Los Angeles and her
citizens who have taken the initiative
and are willing to back the movement
with their time, money and. what is
better still, their brains
Members of the day school will have
all the privileges of the gymnasium
and baths and will be on an equal foot
ing with the regular members-itself a
most important item and worthy the
consideration of every schoolboy and
Stu1ent in the city.
