Y. M. c. A. men OF
Orient ARE
VISITORS

Z. S. Brown, physical director OF
the Manila Y NJ. C.. A., and II. z.
voorhees,, an association secretary OF
Japan, who We're through passengers
on the Pacific Mail liner Chiyo' Maru
which left for the Coast yesterday.
paid visit to the local Young Mems
Christian Association Wednesday and
spent. considerable time in confer
ence with the secretaries. The two
association men from the Orient are
on their way to the Coast for vaca-
ton OF" six months. .s-.... e1
During Mr. Browns three years
connection with the Manila associa-
ton he has demonstrated the thorough
possibilities OF physical work being
done in warm climate and has made
his gymnasium classes extremely
popular both with the government OF
ficials and other citizens of Manila.
One of the greatest aids of his work,
he said, was the fact that nearly
everybody there participates in gym
nasium work and. athletics. Monday
evening Mr.. Brown held conference
with the secretaries of the boys de-
partment of the local association and
Wednesday morning with Physical Di-
rector Lau and General Secretary
Super, explaining the scheme he has
worked out which made his work In
Manila success. Some of his plans.
it is expected. will be adopted here.
Mr.. Voorhees, has had an unique
experience in Japan He went there
cd in q
government schools in the Omi prov
inee with the understanding that he
could teach private Bible classes out
side school hours. Within short time
he had made Bible study so popular
that he had more than 300 pupils In
his different classes, and at length
the Buddists began to oppose his
work. This opposition resulted In his
having to resign as teacher in the
the man to run away from hard
job, and decided to remain where he
was and continue his Bible classes.
At the same time he decided to earn
his living by practicing architecture,
which he had learned while in col
lege.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of Japan was attracted by his
splendid success, and made him one
of the secretaries. This happened six
years ago and the man who was
fired" from the government schools
now has an employed force of more
than thirty workers in his associa-
ton, is one of the leading men of the
province and has been highly COM
mended by the very editor who clam
ored most loudly for his discharge
from the government schools. Mr..
Voorhees, spoke before the members
of the Bible Study Club OF the local
association Monday evening. The as.

HUI NALU Will
DANCEFOR FUND

II is a recognized fact that the
sending Of a Hawaiian swimming
team to San Francisco this summer
viii do a great deal of promotion work
for Hawaii, but in order to send a
team funds must be raised through
donations and otherwise. While Duke
kahanamoku has been invited to swim
il will be necessary to raise the ex-
renses for the relay team. ...
Because of this fact the Hui Nalu,
the club Of which Duke and other Of
the good swimmers are members. has
decided to give series of three
dances at the Outrigger Canoe Club.
The Hui Nalu dances have been given
for the same purpose on previous oc-
casions and have always proved en-
joyable, and the present committee,
consisting of Alec May, Will King,
Dude" Miller and Lew Henderson are
doing their part towards making the
coming dance a success, socially as
we'll as financially. ...... ~. 81
A dance is not a dance without good
music and all who intend to partici-
pate in this dance may look forward
&c having the best, for Dude Miller,
leader of the Hui Nalu Quintet Club,
will be on hand with his musicians.
The first of the series of dances
will take place on Saturday night.
The tickets are on sale at 80 cents, in
Guiding ladies. ....

BODIES TO ASSIST

Al meeting of the trustees of the
chamber of commerce yesterday af-
iernoon, it was decided to write a
letter to the commercial organizations
in the seventeen sugar states and in
the leading cities of the mainland, re-
questing assistance in the campaign
10 prevent any reduction in the sugar
tariff President Il. F. Bishop will
attend to the matter.
The subject was introduced by Z.
J. Spalding and action was urged by
Chairman Carter OF the sugar protec-
tion committee, who bad no doubt
the organizations Of the northwest
would heartily cooperate, as the trade
with Puget Sound ports last year
amounted to nearly four million dol
lars. He mentioned that merchant
had forwarded large order for ma
cliinery with instructions that 1t was
rot to be filled until congress had de-
cIded upon the sugar tariff.

said Dr. Lyman 3. Sperry. the emf
Eent traveller and lecture, who de-
,.vered his initial address in Cooke
Hall Tuesday evening under the aus
Lices Of the Young Mems Christian
Association, speaking upon the sub
iect, '.Four-fourths Man" This was
DR.. Sperry's first address in behalf of
the campaign for the furtherance of
sex education which is being carried
on by the local association.
More than 100 men and boys at
tended the meeting last evening. The
speaker was introduced ny Ulrich
Thompson, who first explained the
purpose of Dr. Sperry's lectures in
this city and the need OF a. greater in
sight into education pertaining to sex
matters. DR.. Sperry spoke in part as
fellows:
Il am disappointed that there are
not more young men of the city in the
hall this evening, for / believe that
there are many who are greatly in
need of the suggestions which l am
about to offer. Before taking up my
subject there are few facts which
/ would like to mention which per-
tain in a way to the things which
am going to say. OF the number of
children born in the United States,
The average number live to be no more
than 40 years old; 20 per cent Of them
die within a year from the day they
ale born; one-half of them grow to
rlaturity. Now, if every child born
were to grow to manhood and become
four-fourths man, people would still
be young at 100 years of age. The
trouble is that these days there is
very little done for human better
ment. :.t III - ~
"My subject this evening is Four
fourths a Man The first Of these
quarters is nutrition. To live. a man
must eat. IT is food that will make
good, red blood But when a man
becomes a glutton, he might as we'll
stop there. The secc:id division is
respiration; good fresh air is essen
tial to life A man may go for weeks
without eating but heH cannot go five
rinutes without breathing. The third
IS brain and nerves, while the fourth,
and one of the most important, is re-
production.
"This is an age of physical culture,
development, and athletics. This age.
it. will be found, did not begin until
after the civil war. Take the condi-
ton as it exists today. Eleven men
will get on a. football, Geld. perfectly
trained and in perfect, condition, and

sand of their supporters will sit on
The bleachers and cheer them. The
World today wants no more Sullivans,
Jeffries or Johnsons. Such freak pos
sibilities are rapidly disappearing.
What the world wants today is not
large number of individual strong
men and athletics, but it wants a sys-
fem of all-around culture which will
be scattered among the people Of the
nation. .-...
Some of the men of today are rob-

bling their nerves of all blood and put
ting it into their muscles; some are
putting it into their brains. A man
makes great progress between the
ages of II and %, but today he is Of
Little use to the world after he be-
comes 80 years old. Brain and nerves,
good food and good blood, and a good
muscular system are going to prove
the best safety-valve for brain and
Lerves if one is going to do mans
work in this world.
There are such things as brain
eluttony and muscle gluttony, and
also sex gluttony. pity the young
man who has not had some knowledge
of sex matters impaired to higl while
he is young. This condition of sex
e,uttony prevails among both the sex
es. Boys have the right to be started
right when young, and it is the young
and misinformed or those who have
not been informed at all, who will
have the most trouble. Now, in my
opinion, to have perfect manhood, one
must be possessed of these four things
which | have mentioned, and l would
say here, and now that foundation
tn perfect manhood cannot be built on
tobacco or rum. One will have to
cut all those things out II he would
become a perfect man. Today the
world wants perfect men; strong
healty men with deep voices; not the
effeminate man who could not grow
beard if he tried The world wants
men like Gladstone and Disraeli-men
who would still be young when they
were 100 years old" -
