why the association has become q
power in the entire world. Is that II
has to do with all sides of a boys
and mans nature. 1t appeals strong
" to their mental, moral and physl-
cal natures. A boy or man Cannot
reach his highest perfection morally
unless he has attained, as near as
possible, to mental and physical per
lection. He cannot reach physical
perfection without moral and mental
perfection, and he cannot reach
mental perfection without physical
and moral perfection. These three
factors are so closely interviewer in
the perfection Of the highest charac-
ter and citizenship, that to neglect
any one of the factors will react un-
favorably on the others. To have an
Al population in the State of Maine,
it is necessary to have Al citizens
from the three standpoints of their

Some Of the Courses

The first, and. probably, the most
important course to be established at
the Training Center will be that of
Rural Community leadership This
course will be for the men and young
men Of every county who wish to be-
come leaders in the welfare work Of
their communities. Many of these
men and boys will make their own
application for the courses; others
will be discovered and recommended
by the county secretaries. They will
receive instruction not only in the Y.
M. c. A. program but in general coun-
try life development.
Other courses will include short
term instruction in Agricultural
branches for the men and boys I'M
able to attend the State University;
instruction for country ministers,

secretaries will be responsible to dis
