ment of the Y. n. C. A. College at
Chicago, Addresses Several Audiences
Friday

DIR. H. f. Kallenberg, dean of the
department of physical education of
the Y. M. G. A. college at Chicago,
was guest in this city last Friday.
During his stay here he addressed
several good sized audiences, one at
the Wausau club Friday noon, the
second at the high school and then in
the evening at the Business Mems
banquet at the Y.
DIR. Kallenberg addressed a group
of about fifty business men at a ban
quet at the Wausau Club at noon,
when he talked concerning the work
OF Y. M. G. A. associations and also
of the college at Chicago. The dean
first extended thanks to Wausau peo-
pie for their financial aid in the
building of the new building of the
college, saying that they would be
ready for entrance in several months.
He went on to show how further east
the Y. M. G. AS in different cities
were even giving courses in different
branches of work thus enabling young
men to take up college work without
leaving their work. The religious
sentiment might be overlooked, the
/ speaker went on to say, when the as
ISOLATION itself was in prosperity.
The young man is often given the
opportunity of finding himself If he
partakes in Y M. @. A. work, for the
directors make special efforts to aid
young men, to help them find OPEN
ings in the lines in which they appear
to have especial talent. In the latter
part of the address the speaker gave
a rapid summary Of the Y. M. G. A
college, its organization, its growth
from the occupation of several rooms
in one of the top stories of a La Sale
St., Chicago building to where 1t
occupied several buildings and now
where 1t is about to enter its new
quarters.
Friday evening there was banquet
at the Y, which was attended by
about $50 business men. A pleasant
program was carried out during the
serving of the dinner. Selections
were sung by the Y. M. G. A. Glee
club, several nun ers of Mrs. 0. ID.
Briggs and duet by Mrs. G. +, Og-
den and Mrs. Briggs, besides a solo
by Emery James. Following these
and the completion of the dinner, DIR.
Henry f. Kallenberg addressed the
men on personal Efficiency" He
was introduced by Russell Starke,
physical director of the local Y.
DIR. Kallenberg explained, how COM
petition in business would become
keener in the near future. Physical
efficiency is of the most Importance
because upon it is based on mental and
moral efficiency. The dean pointed
out how difficult it is to take exercise
at home but how the best method Is
to get in with other men as they are
taking their exercise. The speaker
said that large proportion OF the
unemployed today are men who are
physically unfit and how the ten
dancy to reject those who Lave not
physical strength, is growing.
In his speech, DIR. Kallenberg APP
preached the liquor question and
dealt with it severely. 1t is ques-
tion of personal efiiciency-is one able
to do his best If he is a drinker,
whether an habitual or occasional
one. At the conclusion the speaker
said that it is only when one studies
psychology, the mind, and physiology,
study Of the various parts OF the
body, that one finds out that physical
efficiency is at the root Of all eff
