prise and this one, which is, that the
former uses raw material. that is
heitiier conscious of what j. being
done 10 IL, nor Is able TO cooperate
IN the process. In this factory for
TIE niakiIig of men the raw material
l. living man, who can both CO.
operate completely in and enjoy
heartily the process of his own deXel-
Opn1ent.
All honor 10 the young men who
are making sacrifices of time and en-
eigN and money 10 become more truly
nnlshed products. And the business
man IN the community who is net
setung aside regularly for this work
Is only increasing the number that he
must help take care of later by tax
anon and reform in houses of deten-
u"h; and It Is only the part of wis
dom that he have large part in
maintaining it,
Young Men Bear Largest Expense.
The privileges ought To be assumed
with no less OF respect because a
young man cannot pay for all he gets,
Tor he cannot do that i'm any college
IN the land; but with a frank and free
use of the advantages of this building,
with real respect for the motives of
the generous citizens who help 10 keep
1t up.
Helps Men 10 Help Themselves.
The place of the association is we'll
defined. 1t is doing for the young
men of orr towns and cities what
they cannot do for themselves; what
neither the church nor the athletic
club nor commercial organization
can or has been able To do.
Railroad Companies Give.
A man in the employ of the Penn
syivanla Railroad company on a re-
cent visit 10 Salt Lake stated that
the directors of their company sent
out a commission 10 make an investi-
cation OF the railroad branches of
the Young Mems Christian association
on other lines and returned with a
verdict that the y. n. c. A. got big
ger results than any railroad club
house, eating house or the like, and
this company has since poured hun
d. eus Of thousands of dollars into this |
Work recognizing that men as well |
as IA is must stand the pressure
When this is the experience of cor |
porations that are running simply for /
money. there should be no hesitation /
on the part of any citizen 10 make a
sacrifice that would properly main /
tain the association in an elegant city /
the size OF Salt Lake. Whenever "A |
business men are called upon 10 give /
of their private funds without hope
of direct returns To themselves. and |
those who do not are simply leeches /
20 absorb all the trade they possibly /
can without contributing 10 the gen
eral welfare.
Boys soon Come to Manhood
When we consider that from one 1
presidential election to another enough /
young men come into voting manhood /
10 entirely change the administration. !
Il Is TO the business mans direct ben /
eft that he spend money literally on /
the making of the right kind of man
hood in an Institution like this, which 1
is past the experimental stage.
Universal Backing.
A hundred million dollars backs the /
organization today, with thousands Of |
the heaviest business men of the coun-
Try directing its work, i'm spite of the
local indebtedness that prohibits the
salt Lake city association from hav-
ing as yet a clear title TO its property.
Educational Work Grows.
The educational work has grown in
the evening schools until sixty thou
sand students are enrolled i'm this
country. The increasing number of
boys who leave school before the ages
Q
palling. and opened before the associa-
lion a great need that il must help
this country meet. The majority of
such boys are forced TO earn a liyeli-
hood through economic pressure. Too
young 10 enter trades as apprentices,
they are compelled 10 enter into some
poorly-paid employment. After sew
eral years of such work. they are no
further advanced than al the begin
ming. Coming in contact as they do
with the practical things of life, il is
hard 10 interest them again i'm COM
mon school education. TO meet this
need the local Young Mems Christian
association is attempting 10 build up
q strong Industrial department belieV-
ing that by this means these boys can
be turned into more useful as well
as profitable work. The equipment at
the present time is inadequate to meet ;
the Increasing demand and 20 carry on
a successful work much more viii be
needed II Is hoped this year to equip Z
a manual training department with
this end i'm view.
II is therefore the desire Of The as
ISOLATION 10 supplement by evening
school work other Institutions of I
learning. FOR hundreds of worthy young
men who are prohibited from school
advantages. until the Y. Al. G., 4. has
now become the greatest educational /
organization FOR employed men during ,
their leisure hours. i
