day on his wayeto the mainland where
he win tfke vacation before reSnm-

Mr.. Heinz. who was classmate Of
Secretary Super at the University OF
Missouri paid a. visit to the local Y.
M. G. A. and as much disappointed a.
not finding that the general secretary
would not be here for q week. Act
ing Secretary Larimer escorted the
professor through the plant which he
had never seen before and every new
feature that was s.hown or explained
to the visitor elected fresh favorable
comment from him.
AS Professor Heinz is interested in
the proposition Of establishing a col
lege Y. NJ. C. A. at Using Hua Col
lege, he asked many questions in re-
gard to accommodation. cost of con-
strnction, ETC.. in order that he might
gain possible suggestion to put into
practice in constructing the new Y. NJ.
C. A. building at Using Hua College.
This Is not the first time ] have
been in Honolulu" said Professor
Heinz this morning. but il Is the first
hanee that have had to inspect your
new building which compares favor
ably. with any Y. NJ. c. A. building
have seen on either side Of the world.
IF 1t can possibly be done. | am
going to have our building at Using

cally every large city in Japan aHa
China has an Association now but
there are many parts of the country
that are totally devoid of Y. NJ c. A.
influences and it is these places that
We wish to reach.
AS the influx of Americans grows
greater, the clamor for more associa-
tions grow stronger ard 1t does not
take the Chinese young men long to
realize that the Y. M. G. A. is an es-
sentiaI part of his life and this feel
