ASSOCIATION PLANS
A BOYS WELFARE DAY

The boys department of the local
Y. NJ c. A is again entering a new
field Of practical organized effort. The
Bows Welfare day, which is to be
conducted next Sunday, July 9, is the
latest step in promoting progressive
policy of boys work To reach boys
in all classes of society. to meet them
at their level, and to help them by
personal work, is the big object of the
boys department. The games and
every day sports that come under sup
ervisiOn is one way of appealing to
the boy. Correct supervision in games
and sports help the boy in many ways,
but to get at his inner life and to teach
him that clean manliness IS the great
factor of success in life is something
that can be done in only a few ways.
The object of the Boys Welfare day"
is to discuss in a helpful way the prob
lens and temptations which confront
the boy. This is the first attempt at
a day of this kind in the city. Every
organization that is interested in boy
welfare has been asked to cooperate
in getting boys to be present at the
mass meeting to be held at the asso-
citation in the afternoon. r. c. Smed-
ley, former general secretary of the
local association, and Dr. Leroy Coff-
man of Davenport will be the speakers
al the mass meeting and there will
also be some of the best local musical
talent to help make the afternoon en-
PERTAINING as well as instructive. In
the evening the ministers of nearly
every local church will preach spe-
ciaI sermon on boy Welfare" All
boys who want 10 attend the meeting
are cordially invited. as the associa-
ton wants every boy in the city pres
