Fourfold Ideals of Work
Spiritual, Intellectual,
and Social-Have. Actu-
ated the Association in all
Phases of Its Work.

sium work was to be one of our
strongest appeals TO draw girls and
women into association life.
These little makeshift association
quarters are the greatest sort OF con-
trast to the associations OF today.
Now the gymnasiums are usually
the lightest, sunniest rooms OF the
whole Building and the cafeterios
rank second And what would somo
of the civil war members have
thought OF the roof gardens ana
libraries that are quite an important
part Of the welI-equipped branch?
Nearly IL thousand branches will
take part in the golden jubilee in the
United States. That means total
of more than 3l3,W0 members ali
working 10 show the rest OF the
women OF this country Just what
the assc citation has done and what
it is trying to do.
Pioneer In Many Lines.
''The Y. w. G. A. has been pio-
neer along many lines. you see.
Whenever the association found that
another organization was doing the
same kind Of work, that 1t was able
to devote more time to st. we re-
signed from the field. The work Of
the Travellers Aid was first started
by us and finding that this spe-
cialized society could do more, we,
with our diversified interests, ADAM
doncd this type of social service to
them.
In all our fifty years of activity
we have tried TO see what young
women lack and then supply that
lack. Women who have no time to
attend night schools may study more
leisurcly I'm our classes; busy moth
crs who cannot leave homo at night
win find things planned for just
those hours when the days program
Is easiest; girls who want to learn
to dance or swim have opportunity
TO dc that. too. Though these all
seem to indicate a material attitude
on our part and people wonder why
we call ourselves thc Young Wom-
en-; Christian Association when We
appear to he doing the same things
rs. perhaps. the settlements, we feel
that through the material we may
work up to the spiritual: that per-
haps "A clearer vision may come
through these very material pro-
Ccgscs.'
True Purpose of Centennial.
1T is this that we want to show
to the world in our golden jubilee
There will. OF course, be practical
demonstrations showing the every
dav routine of association life, but
we hope to he able To make the four
phases of our work stand out with
almost equal prominencc--thc physi-
cal, rocial and educational or intel
Icctual as well M the religious or
spiritual.
There will bc maps and Churts
showing in unvarnlshed facts such
statements as that OF the roomine
committee, which has the record of
more than 800 women guided to
rooms in this city from the middle
of summer to December: or OF the
educational committee, which will
give statistics of our classes, but
even more than this the Jubilee
must emphasize the spirit back OF
all these activities If the true pur-
pose Of the semi-centennial is to be
rnalized "

"Dearer than love is my true

now Is to Dc her true friend. Make
Yourself worthy Of her friendship,
for, after all, friendship and love
are twin sisters,
The young woman Is probably en-
Inusiastic over hcr career as

OF giving this up for marriage
which she may not consider an great
as her present occupation-cumes
like a dash Os cold water. For that
