SECRETARY'S REPORT.

To the officers and members. of
the Y. w. c. A, beg leave to sub
nit the following report:
Since February Is, 1916, thirty-four
girls have been regular boarders,
that is they have stayed in the home
three weeks or longer eighteen trans
tents, these staying from one day to
two weeks; meals have been served
to transients, both men and women
to the number of fifty-eight,s about
half of this number taking three
meals day for a month or more. At
present there are fifteen girls in the
home, their occupations being office
work, bookkeepers, foundry girls,
maids in doctors offices, telephone
girls, clerks and stenographers, the
salaries ranging from $500 week
to $500 a week. The home is not a
place where girls can board cheaper
than anywhere else, but it is a home
where a girl who is getting small
salary can stay in responsibility and
prepare herself for better position
and wages and it will help greatly if
those present would spread this idea
abroad rather than the one which IS
most popular now, that if a girl stays
at the Y. w. c. A. she can work for
less money because she doesn't have
to pay much board.
A business women's gymnasium
class has been organized. The first
class met Tuesday, November 18th,
meeting since then every Tuesday
and Thursday night at eight o'clock.
Glasses for school girls and matrons
hope to be arranged. Plans are also
being made to conduct sewing and
English classes. A place has been
secured to make tennis court; moth
ing further has been done up to this
time because of the possibility of the
change in the location of the home,
but as no other place is svailable.
the work can begin at once. This has
long been a great need in Pensa-
cola, as there is no first class public
| court for girls or women, kept in Al
condition all the time It was my
| good fortune to attend the South At
lantic field conference at Richmond,

that. For everybody is to join this
fun of Y. w. C. A. tag day, except

should so elect, you will be sure to
find your day the happier for it.

PRESIDENTS REPORT.

The aim of the Young Women's
Christian Association is to develop
the highest conception of Christian
womanhood, and to aid women in
realizing this conception by bringing
them opportunities for allround de-
velopment, by utilizing every avail
able resource of the community for
their interests and by offering itself
to be used by the community in CO.
operative service "for women"
Our association in Pensacola is now
four years old, and taking all things
into consideration, we feel that we
have accomplished much-not by any
means, all W had hoped to accomplish,
however.
Our boarding home has been just
the beginning, and from now on we
will broaden out. We hope to see,
in the not far distant future, a beau
tiful, substantial building, fully equip
ped with modern up-to-date single
rooms, rest and readings rooms, class
rooms, gymnasium, etc.
As you hear the reports to be CIV
en- this evening you will realize what
our growth during the year has been.
In January and February our courage
almost failed US, and our board of
managers met on three different oc-
casions with the avowed intention of
closing up, and writing the word fall
ure on our books. Each time there
was preventing Providence, and we
concentrated our forces with the re-
suits you will see. We were badly
in debt, at least it seemed bad to US,
several hundred dollars.

ANNUAL MEETING Y w. c. A SHOWS
GROWING INTEREST IN ASSOCIATION

One of our friends, a business man,
said that the trouble with us was "a
dollar looked as big as cart Wheel
so we tried to profit by his hint, and
in fact, the load did not seem SO
big.
I want to saw just a word or two
about our house mother, Mrs. Barlow.
Her interest, cooperation and will
ingness to do all in her power for the
benefit of the Y. w. G. A. has meant
much to US.
Suppose you came to Pensacola
with your heart full of home-hunger,
and your mind fixed on the rainbow
"a girl on the threshold of her wom-
anhood, unknown, unknowing-where
would you go, what would you do +?
What would it mean to bring your
tired body to cosy room for rest
and home comfort, attend an educa-
tional class or mingle with others who
regard their life knowledge as a
stewardship for the next generation?
The Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION could do this for you, is
doing it for thousands of girls who
come to our cities to win or lose their
life fight. 1t is making them strong
enough to succeed by keeping them
from growing weak. 1t is raising
the average of the city's woman
hood.
The following are few facts about
the Y. w. C. A.:
1. It's work is preventive, and its
membership is open to every woman
and girl of moral character.
2. 1t is the field of opportunity for
Christian cooperation, and can do the
institutional work of all the churches.
8. 1t aims to develop the young
woman in her physical, social, intel
lectual and religious work.
4. 1t maintains free rest and read
ing rooms for the women of the city
and neighboring towns.
5. The religious department offers
helpful Bible study classes.
6. Our general secretary irfFesti-
gates industrial and social conditions.
surrounding the lives of our employed
girls, and offers classes and club
work, enabling the girl to increase
her efficiency.
7. Our general secretary is in hel
office daily to give information, adj
vice, or help to any woman or girl
in need of assistance.
8. A free employment bureau is
maintained to benefit the girl seek
ing employment or the person seek
ings help.
8. The Y. w. G.. A. is not chart
table organization except in the sense
that every college is such. All col
lege students are the beneficiaries of
the bounty of some one who has
placed at their command an equip
ment and facilities that the student
body could DO no means procure I'M
aided. The subscriptions to our work
create a sort of endowment fund that
furnishes the young woman facilities
for efficient work.
Best of all you are assisting in
giving these privileges to others. You
need the association and the associa-
ton needs you.
Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre says:
ITO become a member of the Young
Women's Christian Association is not
to buy a dollars worth of privileges,
or to give dollars worth of support
to thing that is good and ought to
be kept going, but to share in some
thing that is living, and sharing
means giving what one has and get
ting in return what others have to
give"

from September 20 to October 4, in
elusive, and unless you have been to
one of these conferences, you can't
begin to know what great help and
inspiration they are. The United
States is divided into eleven fields,
we belonging to the South Atlantic
along with Virginia, North and South
Carolina and Georgia. Usually the
conferences are held at Blue Ridge,
in August, and are two weeks long,
but the high water and storms this
summer prevented this. So as not to
miss it entirely, the one in Richmond
was held at which there were ninety
five delegates present, forty 1.-TWO be-
ing secretaries and fifty-three board
members. We had with US five of the
national secretaries. Our Y. w. G. A.
has done more in the last year toward
extension work than any time in its
existence. Up to this time the board
ing home has been the one effort, but
it is really branch and we are ready
now to take our place in this city as
help to all women in any line.

A Forest of Giants.

It Is almost impossible for one who
has seen only the Eastern or Rocky
Mountain forests to imagine the
woods of the Pacific coast. Pictures
of the big trees are as common as
postage stamps, but the most Won
derful thing about the big trees Is
that they are scarcely bigger than
the rest of the forest.
The Pacific coast bears only q
tenth of our woodland. but nearly
half OF our timber. An average acre
in the Rocky Mountain forest yields
one to two thousand board feet of
timber. in the Southern forest three
to four thousand. in the Northern
forest four to six thousand.
An average acre on the Pacific
coast yields fifteen to twenty thou
sand. Telescope the Southern and
Rocky Mountain forests. toss the
Northern on top of them. and stuff
the central into the chinks. and. acre
for acre, the Pacific forest will out
weigh them all.-American Maga-
