The people of Rock Island have
given US the finest Y. NJ. C. A. build
ings In the state, and now IL is up TO
US to see that the building is filled to
the limit with a membership of men
and boys taking advantage of this
chance for self-improvement. Our
present membership of more than 500.
while IL is big in itself. is only a start
toward the great number that we can
accommodate, and that ought to be
getting the good of this splendid equip
ment
More than 5000 individuals con-
tributed toward the building fund that
made possible our present building.
and IL is not unreasonable to assume
that most of these people are really
interested in the work which they are
supporting. We ought to be able to
figure safely on at least half as many
members as there were subscribers.
and that would mean I.5OO members
in the association. which would be
about what we ought TO have"
Such sentiments were expressed by
enthusiastic campaigners at the Y. NJ.
c. A last night. when final confer
ence of workers was held preparatory
to the big campaign that is being put
on this week. Instead OF 1 900 or 200
members as a goal. 1,5OO was set by
the men themselves. and while they
may NOT quite reach that figure at the .
