! records Of benevolence and philan-
thropy. Ine question has frequently
been asked why the Y. M. G. A. is
able to solve problems and handle
people which other institutions equal
!! Christian and equally we'll inten-
toned have not been able to manage.
In the estimation of those who have
studied all forms of philanthropic
work the answer is found in the quail
ity of the men who head the move
ment. The men who direct the pol
icy of the Y. NJ. G. A. are busy men.
They are also business men. Not

are for the most part leading bust
ness men Of the community in which
they live.
Practically all businesses and pro
fessions are represented among the
active leaders in Y. M. G. A. work.
