WORK SHOWS ADVANCEMENT
Number of Members is Steadily In
creasing and Financial Condition of
the Association is satisfactory
Many Speakers at Banquet.

Inc annual reports OIL Gn6 Oflc1alS
of the Kenosha branch Of the Young
Mems Christian association, presented
at the annual banquet of the members
of the board of directors on Tuesday
evening, showed that the year just
closing has been one of the most sue
cessful if not the most successful in
the history Of the association in Ke-
nosha.
The banquet proved to be very
interesting event Covers were laid
for twenty-five people including the
members Of the board of directors,
their wives and the secretaries of the
association w. w. Vincent acted as
POSTMASTER and there were responses
by members of the board of directors.
Walter Cavanagh responded in behalf
of the new members of the board.
There were a number of responses from
the ladies, among the speakers being
Mrs. Walter j. Cavanagh, Mrs. G. H.
Curtis, Mrs. Crossman aud Mrs. L. M,
Theirs.
The reports of the secretaries brought
very interesting matters before the di-
rectors of the association and showed
a demand for an advancement of the
work of the branch during the coming
year. The report of Secretary Cross
man showed that the membership of
the association at the pr9snt time is
420 and there is a steady increase in
the number. The financial report of
the secretary showed that financially
the association was in good standing,
but it's assets are not yet as great as
the liabilities and this matter will be
laid before the people of the city later
by the board Of directors. Kenosha
people have been most active in aid
ing in raising money for the associa-
ton and the directors feel convinced
that every demand for funds for the
extension of the work Of the assOcia-
ton will be met.
The report of the secretary showed
that the year had brought many limo
vations to the association work in Ke-
nosha while institutions of other years
had been developed. Among the new
features Of the work were the organi-
zation Of the boy scouts, reading and
nature study clubs, self government
club, and the gun club. Mr.. Crossman
spoke Of the development of the de-
partment of spiritual work as being de-
ing decidedly satisfactory He spoke
also of the inauguration Of a savings
bank for the boys with the First Ma
tional Bank as the depository and of
the garden contests and other contests
among the Younger members.
Physical Director FogwelI made his
annual report showing that fully fifty
per cent of the membership Of the as
ISOLATION now use the physical depart
ment privileges and the good that was
gained by this general use of the de-
partment.
There was much said in regard to the
educational work of the association
among the aliens Recommendations
were made for the extension of these
schools and the members of the board
of directors were urged to seek other
rooms for holding the sessions. 1t was
urged that these rooms should be easis
" available to the foreign students
and it is probable that this suggestion
will be adopted by the board. Many
plans for the new year were discussed
and these matters will be acted on at
other meetings of the board.
