!. NJ. {. A. PLANS A SCHEDULE
OF LIVE SUMMER ACTIVITIES

''The day has come wheE no reli-
gious institution can close its doors
during the summer months, says
General Secretary Paul Super Of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
"and in harmony with this idea the
''Y" is going to carry out a larger
schedule of activities This summer
than has ever before been planned"
Experiments conducted during the
past four years have shown the large
possibilities for summer activities in
connection with the association work
Last year special athletic and night
school classes were conducted by the
organization with highly gratifying
degree of success. and although the
association is now several men short
on its employed force, an extensive
schedule of activities is being planned
for the coming summer
H Already SO men and Is hoys have
enrolled for the summer educational
classes in mechanical drawing. book
Keeping, typewriting, English and the
construction and care of automobiles.
These classes are conducted in the
mems department, while in the bows
department general course CORES
pondlng to that of the grammar
schools is being carried out for the
employed boys. All these courses are
conducted under the direction of ex-
perienced male teachers, and other
special courses are to be added to
the curriculum during the summer to
meet special needs.
Plans for Sunday Work.
The increased attraction of outdoor
! life has made it necessary to modify
the plans of the religious work de-
partment The Sunday afternoon
meetings which are now held at five
O'Clock will be continued to be held
at that time until the middle of June,
when 1t will be discontinued at the
building to give way to a gathering
at one of the homes in Manoa Val
ley. Young men as a rule like to
have somewhere to go on Sunday,
and the plan of this meeting will be
to have those who care to attend meet
at the home at five o'clock in the aft
ernoon, where about three-quarters of
an hour will be spent in Bible study,
after which supper will be served.
The meetings at the Honolulu Iron
! Works, Cation, Neil shops and the
car barns will be continued and the
theatre meeting on the first Sunday
of every month will be conducted by
the association until Dr. Brodie ar
rives in Honolulu to conduct series
of mass meetings under the auspices
of the Inter-Church Federation

GUS business houses of the city which

Der of men. A new group of men
composing FOUR teams has just been
/ organized in the physical department
These teams play with each other a
variety of games each Tuesday even
ing, and good deal of rivalry is be-
ing developed. The apparatus in the
gymnasium is being rearranged so
that the lower part may he used for

Tuesday night there are two spirited
