or schools. and then to have the task
Of securing rooms, board and supervis-
ion Of these young men and their &C
tivities for three days. Many homes
could furnish the rooms but not the
board, and this meant further difficult
ties for the beleagued committee men,

Applications for opportunity to at
tend the conference were first made by
principals Of the preparatory schools
of the State to State Secretary j. c..
Smith Of the Y. NJ. c. A. In the prin-
cipals statement the status Of the

made clear. The number of delegates

school, geographically, and the size Of
the institution. If it was evident that

Conference Object.

To the reporters blunt question
What is the object Of this conference
as distinguished from the annual State
boys conference?" one Of the highest
officials Of the Y. NJ. c. A. replied witt
the following concise summary:
1.-THE object Of this secondary
school conference is, primarily, to
bring together representative
gathering Of the leading prepare
tory schools Of the State. BY
this process We hope a higher
ideal, a greater inspiration in
school life will be attained. The
influence Of the comparative few
we have here will bring about
the changing or continuation Of
the entire school for better and
cleaner associations, speech, ath-
Ietics, and fairness and honor in
studies-no more 'cribbing'-the
forming Of Bible groups in the
classes and the supplying Of good
for evil in the whole school life.
1.-THE work Of this conference,
as distinguished from the State
boys conference, deals with the
boys from the college preparatory
schools rather than from the gen.
eral educational and church in
stitutions.
Another important distinction is
that this is not for the benefit Of
the individual but for the school
the individual represents.
zone Of the most important
phases Of this meeting lies in the
fact that we have here about a
score Of college mon actively as
ISOLATED in v. M. c. A. work. BY
these mon becoming personally
acquainted with these secondary
school students, the younger
member is assured Of a valuable
asset in his introduction to COL
Iege life. The upper eiassman will
use his influence in having the
boy enter the best society with
the best opportunity. 1T is TAX
ing time by the foreIock through
introduction Of tho college man Of
the present to the college man Of
the future"

gates.

OF all the busy places in this busy
town, the office Of the registration
committee Of the Students conference
stands out like the proverbial one-arm-
ed paper hanger over one Of those for
tunate persons who doesn't have any
thing to do except wonder what he's
going to do next-Jeff Smith or
newspaper editor. We say the regis
tration committee has been busy; ur-
gently, precipitately. feverishly busy;
and, believe US. when a newspaper re-
porter admits anybody else is busy it's
a tribute straight from headquarters,
especially if the big chief has handed
you anything like a Students confer
ence. But we've got to take off our hat
TO Steve Wing who can be chairman Of
the aforesaid committee, run a big
grain company and be president Of the
Board Of Trade all in the same town
en- the same day. That's our idea Of
having something to do. Anyway, we

that even this amount of print
