 erica as vast melting pot, in which all classes of people, regardless of nationality or religious belief, were poured. stirred around and cooked" until the finished product" was an American citizen. But, in spite of Zankwilrs theory, there continue to be in this country various groups Ot individuals whose beliefs differ, which is only human nature. To offset this, each locality in the nation will be found to have its own melting pot where the different groups mingle, ex- change views and grow to know each other better.
 In the smaller towns and villages "the store" usually represents the melting pot Here every topic from the European war down to local poli tics is discussed. In larger cities there are many melting pots;" the street corners, the parks and other public meeting places. In the Warren district the Industrial Young Mems Christian Association is the melting pot" But it is more than that; it is an institution where mental, moral and physical energy is generated the power house for the development of clean minds and clean bodies. And the current which it generates and dis tributes among thousands of young men and boys is accomplishing as much in developing the district as any other single factor
 Now 1900 Members
 Let us look at the '. M c. A as 2 melting pot More than 1900 men and boys are members.

M. C. A.
 Here, "a mans a man for a that" If he must work hard, he is respected for his efforts If he is at the stage where he need not work. he is respect ed for his ability in having reached that stage, and respects those who are less fortunate. In this atmosphere the desire of each member to make him. self a better man is cultivated and gratified. These are the reasons why the institution may be proud of itself. and they are the reasons why it is such a dominating factor in the growth of the district.
 Attractive Quarters
 The present attractive and commO- !. dious quarters of the two buildings have been matter of evolution "asso- ciationally." After years of effort the work had grown to such an extent that expansion and undermining was the only solution to continued prog ress. As a result of a well planned membership campaign in April. 1915. more than twelve hundred members were enrolled; and in keeping with a promise made by the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company. condi- tioned on the association attaining a membership of one thousand. a $1OOO0 appropriation was made for remodel ing and enlarging the quarters, and active work was begun on the project the following August. As the work progressed it was deemed advisable 10 increase the remodellins over the original plans The two-story building adjoining the main building was ac- quired for the use of the boys depart
