The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-08-18

The Duncan hotel has been purchased by
the board Of directors of the Nashville
Young Mems Christian association for the
colOred mems BRANCH. Y. NJ. c. A. The
price for the building was $4,000. Thus
what has long been considered one Of
Nashville's greatest needs-a modern ussO-
citation building for the conservation, phys
icaI and social salvation of the young
negro men and boys Of the city-will ~
realized. The Duncan is to he turned
over 10 its new owners on January /.
In securing this property for the negroes
Nashville has taken her place along with
other cities throughout the country, as a
widespread interest in the welfare of col
Ored men and boys has resulted in provid-
ing for Young Mems Christian association
buildings in many cities. Some of these
are Atlanta, Baltimore, Kansas City. Gin
%einnati, Chicago, Washington, Philadel-
phia, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and New
York.
The local colored branch has done its
work for the past five years under the
supervision OF the Nashville Y. NJ. c. A.,
and the board Of directors Of the Nashville
association has been fully advised at all
times as to the progress Of the work by
the Nashville colored men. In none of the
cities named is there a better spirit manl-
tested on the part of its colOred people
than in this city, and MS an indication of
the seriousness and earnestness of the local
Colored leaders in the establishment of n
modern building of this kind for their race
il will be recalled that wheG, the Nashville
colOred people held their campaign some
months ago to help provide such a build
ing, three Of the local cOlOred men gave
each $1,000 in cash and another $500. This
record has not been equaled in any Of the
many cities in which campaigns have been
conducted for the colored men.

proved plan Of the modern Y. NJ. C. A.
These roOms~will (a) supplement the pres
ent school dormitories which are made
quate and entirely unsatisfactory; % pro-
vide a place for colored boys and young
men coming to the city, with safe, moral
conditions; (c) furnish accommodations
for transient negro young men such as are
now absolutely lacking.
2. Health. The fact of physical deterior-
alton of the negro amid urban conditions
Is coming to be pretty generally known.
Recent developments in Nashville prove
beyond question the closeness OF the re-
lation between the physical condition of
our negroes and the health Of our white
population. A Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium with
baths, gymnasium and a program of
physical development and sex education
will make large contributions to this
problem.
3. Education. Evening : educational
classes in practical branches will be pro
vided. The need for supplemental and In
d%nstrial education among. negroes in Nash
vile is practically unlimited. Some negro

4, Moral Influence. If it is true that
our white young men need such a place Of
resort as the Y. NJ. c.. A.-and who doubts
it-hOw much greater is the need among
those whose safeguards are fewer and
whose temptations are more fierce. The
y. NJ. C.. A. will provide p wholesome place
Of resort with Il social program that will
be attractive and d moral influence that
is invigorating.
5. Religious Trimming. The prime pur-
pose of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation is its religious ministry. The plan
of Bible classes, religious meetings and
personal evangelism provided by the y =
c. A. presents the strongest program yet
discovered for the hardest religious task

boys and young men, whether white or
cOlOTed.
