SPECIAL SCHOOL PROVIDED

The board of directors of the Y. NJ c. A met Thursday afternoon, to put in shape the work for the coming win ter and to act upon certain recommen- dations made by committees for the various departments There was a good attendance of the board. Great activity and much practical work this | coming season was indicated by the vigorous way in which the members of the various committees are taking hold of the matters entrusted to them.
 The recommendations acted upon were as follows:
 From the committee on boys work. in favor of a survey or listing of all the boys in the city, the school and church they attend, and various other particulars tending to give a fair knowledge of them. The purpose of this is 10 lay a foundation for further work in securing new members for the boys department, to know how to ap- proach them. In addition, the boys so listed will be invited, in companies of 100 or whereabouts. to a free swim and other entertainment at the Y. NJ. c. A., and made acquainted with what a Y. RI. C. A. is like. The boys work and the physical educational committees will cooperate in giving these enter tainments.
 The directors voted to devote one room up stairs to the use of a boys club; and heartily approved the plan fnv this city.
 The report of the membership com mittee showed that the membership at the present time is just an even 800 The boosters club of the Y. NJ C. A. recently formed, is now engaged in working out plans for boosting the membership of men.
 The report of the committee on the physical department covered recom- mendations for gymnasium classes, in door and outdoor games. special con- tests in the gaming room, talks by business men on practical subjects, and extension work on track. at high school, outings, exhibitions, swimming lessons, etc
 
 ligious work included the Gabeline meetings and the arrangements for them; Bible classes in the boys and mems departments; boys and mems meetings for men alone outside of it. A great deal of emphasis will be plac- ed in the plans of the committee on the Mems Religious Forward Movement
 The social side will be given great prominence in the work of the Y. M. C. A this winter. but the plans are not yet prepared in detail.
 The committee on education. after careful consideration. reported in favor of a special school to be conducted by the association this winter beginning October 23 The details follow:

 Languages. Spanish, German and French; tuition s1OO per week.
 Mechanical Drawing: tuition s1oO per week
 Public Speaking and Debating; tui- ton $50 per week.
 Current Events Club.
 These courses are to run for q term of six months and it is not the inten- tion of the institution to make this work anything more than selfsupport- ing. therefore the cost is low
 The instructors will be good. in fact as capable as can be found in many colleges. Courses other than the above can be secured Who want to take up some other subject.
 One or more subjects may be taken up by any Y. NJ. C. A. member and non-members may become members by paying three dollars (s300) for Special Membership card, which will be issued to students. The Special Membership card will entitle the hold CT to the social privileges of the building

 The Young Mems Christian Associa- tion Is striving to help men in three distinct ways. This is represented by the emblem of an equilateral triangle. one side of which represents Spirit, one the Body and one the Mind Therefore it will be seen that Educational is ap- prOximately one-third of the Young Mems Christian Association work.
