Make money; save some. and
spend some for pleasure!" This was
the advice given to the boys Of the

The speaker was F.. A. H. Kumler, a
Dayton attorney, who addressed the
lads on the subject OF square life"

q few chosen adult guests, sat down
to the banquet and the affair was
pronounced the biggest success in the
history OF the boys work at the local
association. An elaborate menu had
been prepared by the Ladies' auxiliary
OF the Y NJ. c. A. for the occasion,
and several other attractive features
enlivened the program.
In dealing with his topic, the
square life" Mr. Kumler said that
any square must have four sides and
that therefore he had chosen for the
sides to his talk the physical, intel
lectual. social and spiritual sides of
life In connection with the physical
part OF existence, he stated good
physique was on" of the greatest as
lads should not lose sight Of keeping
well. THE happiest men are the
busy Ones" said the speaker.

him, don't hand him out an iceberg"
was declared to be the best method
of securing standing in the social
world. He added that to put on IA
cheerful face was only IA matter Of
dollars and cents and that the ability
to mix with a crowd was one of the
greatest business assets one could
possess.
For the Intellectual training, Mr..
Kumler asserted that the best study
of the EnglisN language one could
get was the study OF the Bible. but
added that books formed only a small
part Of the education of ones mind.
For the text Of his discussion of the
moral side of life, the speaker said
'As your ideals. so your lives will be.
for ones ideals are sure to be realized.
but 1t is impossible to get higher than
ones ideals"

he noticed many in the number who
had been awarded diplomas in former
years, but said that with the excep-
ton of Ralph Hasemeier. who had al
ready reached the limit" all the lads
had grown since he had last appeared
on a similar mission.
