| The secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A. gives
good deal of news of the association
plans for the coming year in his latest
newsletter, in which he says:
The committees have planned some
| good features for this fall and winter
and we now want to know who will be

each.
Would you like series of lectures
one a month, by the ablest men in the
city, on such subjects as Pragmatism
| Evolution, Socialism? Serious studies
well worked out, epitomes of wide read
ing and much thought. To cost you
about dollar a lecture, five dollars
for the six, and be worth a lot more.
Do you want course in Commercial
Law, one lecture a week, taking up
contracts, sales, bills and notes, agency,

about it,
What do you think of class, call it
Civil Government, teaching how the
government is organized and run, what
these modern terms, initiative and ref
erendum, recall, mean, and what the
great political parties stand for, what
issues are now before the nation9 1t
would certainly be profitable. Do not
put off saying You want it, and too late
ask when it will begin. It will begin
if you say you want it.
Want that course in automobiles

drawing this year2 Want to rub up on
your arithmetic What do you think
of a talk once week somewhat along
the line of "Don is to Mechanicss''

structora Some have asked for elias
in German or Hawaiian. All who want
this please raise your hands.
Of course the usual courses in book
keeping, stenography (Gregg), English,
and typewriting, will be given. we
may divide the English this year int
three groups-one group being for for
eigners, and an elementary and ad-
vanced class for those whose native
tongue is English. We think the re
suits will be better for both classes

For two years the Religious Work
Committee and the present executive
officers have been trying to work out
a plan of religious work that will fl
the city-reach the men. We think
we now have plan that quietly an6
without a great deal of fuss will de
velop into solid and resultful reli-
gious work. The plan includes a num-
her of Bible classes in shops and Offices
about town You will be asked to
enroll later.
The prospectus will tell the plans
along physical lines. This letter is
more of a feeler, to find out what is
wanted by our men. We will max
an effort this year to fill definite
need in the lives of business men by
working up strong class to begin
around half past four. Or will FIVE be
better, or even eight p. M? We have
the trained physical director and the
equipment for this sort of work. You
owe it to yourselves to be the class
Some men never find time to exercise
until they have to take three month";
or longer to go to the Coast to get
well. Fellows who can not afford
90 to the Coast go to seed. DIR. Hand
and the Gym. can prevent whole lot
of this.
We have not pushed work for boys
during the past two years. We hay
had no one to take care of them Nov

men, bowling alley, billiards, socia
rooms, better educational equipment
much larger physical equipment. VIII
