which had been listed by pr. Norton before his illness.
 John D. Loper. superintendent of schools and a director and leading spirit of the ', after explaining Dr. Norton's absence. introduced Mr. Sex son as chairman of the evening The talk given by MT. Gummere was pre- ceded by a delightful musical pro- gram. Bessie Fox Davis singing a group of songs in her usual attractive manner, while F. E. Dingman added to the enjoyment with violin numbers.
 War Not Vet Over
 MT. Gummere, in his introduction devoted his discussion to the war, leading gradually to the opportunities and obligations of this country during the days of reconstruction. He pointed out how impossible it was for the pointing out the fact that France could not do it, and that England was exhausted.
 Instead of fighting Russia, he be- lieves that America should go in and help; that there is much yet for the United States to put into the world war.
 The war was not over with the signing of the armistice, sss.d. it will not be over for the next fis> or 'tea years. We broke up one war, but wss went into twenty-three,' he said. Tt is up to us to stand by the nations until they have replaced their lead CTS"
 The speaker asserted that the tions across the sea would demand our leaders and would challenge their coming. He claimed that our leaders in education, in business and profes- sions would respond in large numbers to the. call and that upless we pro- duced leaders, four to one our coun- try would be depleted.
 Character Greatesf Asset
 Where opportunities and responsi- bilities were placed with men of 40 they will now rest with the men of 2S," he claimed as he urged the men to develop the young man. tI1he greatest asset city has is it's char acter,' he said he charged his hearers to train it's youths in citizen ship.
 He made an earnest plea for a col lege education for the future citizen, citing the fact that of the F, 1000 lead CTS in America, 10,200 are college men. That the United States will not be able to catch up with it's losses if boys continue to drop out of school after the seventh and eighth grades, was the statement made by Gummere who claims that lack of brains is not the reason for their discontinuing their studies, but rather lack of character. Charging the fathers not to place in tellectual limitations on their sons, he made an urgent plea for education.
 You can't make man when he is 24-you have to make him between the ages of 14 and 16,' he said Develop the kind of manhood the city needs" he concluded as he pointed out that the l. M- C. A. was an organization that dealt with men and boys, developing the qualities that stood for the best citizenship.
 At the conclusion of his well received talk Mir. Sexson read the following re- port of the president and announced the membership drive committee:'
 Report Is Read
 By the united work two months ago in an eight day campaign we secured pledges for little over s5e,O0O to be used to pay off the long standing mort gage on our local !. NJ. c. A. building and enlarge the boys department
 These moneys are kept in a special fund for the particular purposes Suo- scribed. The work of enlarging the boys department is nearly completed and this will enable the association to properly care for GOO to TOO boys.
 "The first week in February is. known in our association as well as in many others Right of Way Week or Membership Week. when special eff fort is made to have all of our members renew and to secure new members for the association. A 20 per cent dis count from the regular annual dues l is given members who pay during this week in cash.
 After the board and secretaries carefully considered all of the probable | expenditures for the coming year and ! taking into consideration the income Of ! the association from other sources it 1 has been found that it will be necessary ! to secure at least $10.000
 | If we can secure 900 members and including at least 200 to 300 of sustain ing and business mems memberships paying S25 to $50 per year we will cure the amount desired
 The regular membership for men :s | s15, high school students s9, juniors SC. and preparatory $3. and the rates during Right of Way Week will be: men SIP, high school s7, juniors ,. and preparatory S2.50 per year.
 The Y. NJ. c. A. has not changed it's rates for regular memberships during | the past six years and because of the | low rates given to the boys and the large number that use the privileges, it is necessary in order to obtain the entire fund to have a goodly number of business men and sustaining mem ! berships.
 ''The Y. M. c. A is one of the most important civic institutions of our city and it is hoped that all classes of mem bers will improve the opportunity by subscribing this week in order to save l time for the workers, and that a liberal number of business men will join with sustaining memberships in order that the high standards of work now put up by the association may be continued. | Consider this as an investment for the welfare of the men and boys of tue city and not a donation.
