May be Revived Under the Manage

The Board of directors Of the Keno
sha branch of the Young Men s
Christian Association at the meeting
held on Thursday evening took steps
to arrange for the sessions Of the state
convention of the association which
are to be held in Kenosha between
Jan. 20 and 20 and it is planned to
make the convention the greatest
gathering Of Y. M. @. "A. men ever
held in Wisconsin 1t is expected
that there will be 800 delegates from
the different branches in the state in
attendance at the convention and men
who have national regulations in the
work Of the association will be on the
program as speakers. 1t will be i'm
POSSIBLE to accommodate the delegates
to the convention at the Y. M. G. A.
auditorium and it is probable that
most Of the sessions of the convention
will be held in the churches of the
city. All lines of. work will be COW
cred at the convention. The commit
tee named by the directors to have
charge of the management of the state
convention is made up of G. FL. Curtis,
president of the association, A. E.
Buckmaster and General Secretary L.
H. Fox. The work on the program
of the convention is now well under
way and it will be announced by the
state officials of the association within
d short time
The directors of the association
spent considerable time at the session
discussing the question Of association
night schools and it is possible that
the Y. M. G. A. schools which were
so successful in other years will be
revived. A vote was taken on the
question and the officials expressed
themselves in favor Of taking up the
work again if the Board of Education
thought that it would be best for the
rather than the School
Board to have charge. Under this
plan it is probable that the Board
would be asked to make a small ap-
to pay portion of the
cost of the schools at the Y. NJ G. A.
building.
There will be one feature Of the
state meet of unusual interest and that
is The athletic meet 1t is planned to
get away from the old college idea
which mas prevailed in the last few
meets held by the Y M. G. A. athletes
of the state and make this meet one
open to all the associations with the
team scoring the highest number of
points winning the banner. It is
thought that this will go long way
toward developing all round athletes in.
the association.
