Y. M. c. A. Talks.

The creates. indoor game ever Invented
for business men is hand ball. The Y. NJ. c.
A. does much to encourage the playing Of
this game by members Of the Central
Branch 1t urges this game upon its mem
bers and stakes its reputation upon the
proposition that when played it will yield
abundant returns in the way Of genuine fun,
real sport and good fellowship.
Just above the main gymnasium are two
hand ball courts. -Four men may play at 4
time on each court. Each group generally
will not want to exercise more than twenty
minutes at time. This makes the capacity
Of these courts ample to accommodate a
large number of members. Besides this the
games of basket ball and indoor base ball
are fostered by complete equipment for these
popular varieties OF sport. Medicine ball is
also another form of workout that Is very
popular with the men,
We also have n twenty aps-to-the-u1iie
running track in the main gymnasium. which
is available for those Interested in track
athletics. Some OF the best track athletes in
this section have received their training
this track.
Rowing machines provided and afford
the same advantages as real rowing.
All these privileges and many others are
avafable 10 you at the very small cost of
$500 year.

Plan to Aid in Commercial

Follow War.
CLUBHOUSE IN PROGRAM

How public school teachers of Wash
ington may be of the greatest service
to the United States in the commercial
struggle which is expected to follow
the great war in Europe is one of the
features in an ambitious prog am on
which members of the Teachers Club
of Washington plan to begin work to-
morrow, when the members meet in
new Central High School at $50 pm.
At this time the annual election of Of
ficers will be held. Although the plans
are broad in scope and as yet some
what visionary, members of the club
believe much will be done toward
their accomplishment this year.
In addition to planning directly to in
crease American efficiency. not only in
Washington, but in the United States
in general, the members of the club
have in mind program which indi-
rectly will further this project. but is
primarily designed for the special ben
eft of the teachers. This includes the
building, as soon as expedient, of
modern clubhouse, with ample recrea-
tional facilities, where teachers may
entertain their friends and visiting
teachers.

Club Issues Statement.

Speaking of postwar conditions and
the adjustments which must be made
in the United States to meet those con-
ditions. and bearing a prophecy of a
world nation" statement given out
by the club last night sets forth:
'The work of preparing the future
citizen for his great responsibility.
never in the history of the world so
great, devolves upon the educator Aft
er the war-conf1agration in Europe and
Mexico has burned itself out a read
justment in all lines of activities will
be necessary. When the world nation
and world peace is established the con-
servation of human life and the quick
readjustment will depend upon the
efficiency of the citizens of the new ma
ton. The boys and girls in our schools
today will be those citizens, efficient or
inefficient depending upon the oppor-
tunities for training and the persons
having charge of that training.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-10-29
Means of Assuring Efficiency.

Efficiency in the training can only
be accomplished by better and closer
relation between the special groups
having the work to do. namely, par
ents. grade, high and normal school of,
ficials and teachers, college and uni
versity officials and teachers. 1t is the
aim of the Teachers Club to be helpful
\ ely way to its members. Thus and
only thus can real efficiency in the ed
ucational line be obtained, with the
least expenditure of energy, time and
money"

Mrs. w. w. Craig.

Eliza Catherine Jenree, daughter
of Gilbert and Sarah Jenree, was
born September 16, 1S4S, at Newark,
N. Y, and departed this life, Novem-
Der Is, 1916, at her home in Leon,
Iowa. She came with her parents to
Iowa in 1850. They first located at
keokuk, in 1856 moving to Decatur
City, and in 1865 to Leon, Iowa,
where she has resided ever since.
April 3, 1878, she was married to
W. w. Craig. Four children were
born to this union, namely, Lillian
Of Chicago, ILL.,, nellie, Robert and
Pearl, who reside at home
Mrs. Craig was a good woman. She
was converted during revival meet
ing held by Rev. Hugh Smith, and
was baptized and received into mem
bership of the Methodist Episcopal
church during the ministry of Rev.
| Geo. NJ Hughes. To the end of her
journey she was faithful and loyal
| to the church of her choice, and was
always willing to serve as she had
opportunity. Mrs. Craig was Of a
quiet retiring nature. She regarded
her chief duty to be within her home,
and the proper bringing up of her
children. TO her husband she was a
most devoted wife and helpmate.
For some time sister Craig has
been in failing health. 1t was mar
velous how she sustained her CHEEKY
optimism with her little physical
strength. The end came as a sweet
release from the chain of life's ills.
| She labored not, neither did she live
| in vain, for her loved ones mourn
her departure, and her friends keen
! ly feel her loss.
! The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon at the Methodist
church, Rev. Raoul R. Moser, her
pastor, conducting the same. Every
available seat in the church was in
use The Rebekah lodge, of which
Mrs. Craig was member attended

were many and beautiful The body
of the departed was laid to rest in
Icons cemetery where it awaits the
resurrection of the just.
