BUSY WINTER

Friends and members of the Young
Women's Christian Association who
have visited the oeiationss rooms
OF late, have been interested in the
various posters announcing the. fact
that classes Of all kinds, to meet the
demands Of the young women Of the
city, are being formed at convenient
hours. What does this mean? 1t
means that the local association is
making possible the all-around devel
opment Of young women.
The friends sM1Us are met at the
noon hour Atl1 10 the enjoyment OF
he, and the soeials planned each
month are, q source of pleasure as
well .s education Plans for these
socials are made by different commit
tees, in order that the programs may
be as varied as possible. The social
in October is for the girls only and
will be one of special interest, as 1t
will be given on the evening when
ghosts and COLLINS are abroad. This
event viii be under the direction of
the physical training department. The
need of physical deyalopment Is met
by the physical training department
through its gymnasium and its swim
ming and tennis classes.
The local association is following
the policy OF the national organiza-
ton this year by arranging class in
first aid to the injured. The text
book which 10 used is one which is
recommended by Secretary Brown of
the national committee on physical
education and hygiene. Someone has
said sEducation for efficiency is the
loud-sounding note of the day" But
it is also suggested that training for
character building is bigger and more
inclusive. This is what the educa-
tiona department Of the local associ-
alton is doing. Glasses are being
formed in the study of the languages,
literature and domestic science as a
sufficient number of the members be
come interested. There will also be
class in, English for foreigners, and
other classes as requests come from
them. ~

time the entire community is asked
to consider especially the needs of the

specific so the local association joins
with other Organizations : in asking
first, that the association member
ship be brought together In that clos
er sense Of fellowship that only a
deep, common interest and o. united
service can bring; second, that the
general public and the entire mem
bership should be interested in the
principles and accomplishments of
our organization; third, that wise
sense Of world citizenship should be
developed; fourth, that the local as
ISOLATION realize it's responsibility for
foreign work; fifth, that the habit Of
and power in prayer should become
a force in the lives of large numbers
of tie membership, and sixth, that
the association all the world around
should receive great impulse for
w;:rd tn response to these prayers. :
