Big Men Coming.
In order that the station at Tulst
may be fully az modern as that in
any other cities in the country IT has
been arranged that several of the lead
ing men In the international training
station at New York will come to Tul- =
sa in the near future to consult with
the directors in the local Organization
as to the definite plans for the sta
tion. The men who viii be in Tulsa
on this purpose are: Paul Super. secre-
tary of the trainSg < department of the
international committee at New York
city; Norman Schlichter. secretary OF
the industrial department of the \. NJ
c. A. at Chicago; c. X. Ober. of the
same department, ana Ut, ~. >. flsleI'
Of the physical department In the
same committee These men will be
in Tulsa at different periods and will
advise the directors as to the bes,
plans which could be made for the
station.
1t is likely that Mr.. Schlchter will
be here on January l9. 20 and 81 The
date for the arrival of Mr.. Ober ha-
not been determined Doctor Fisher
will he here some time during the first
of February. All of the men have
given their lives to the Y. NJ. G. A.
work, and understand their work
fully.
Location Considered.
The most likely spot for the locu-
tion of the training station Is on the
| ground directly north of the pre- sen'
| Y. NJ. c. A. Officials of the association
have been making arrangements for
/ some time to secure this ground. but
up to the present time have done moth.
| Ing definitely. If the land should be
secured, an entirely new building
would probably not be constructed. but
an addition to the present one woulC
be sufficiently large to make an I'm
mense station.
Just when the first work in connec
tion with the station will begin hai
not been definitely decided, but the Of
ficials Of the Y. NJ. c. A. plan to com
mence as soon as possible.
