 c. A. has long demonstrated it's abil- ity to hold a definite place in the civic life of the community Through 1t an elastic work can be done that to fit the need of every young man. For instanGe, I was vastly impressed when l stepped into the naturaliza- tion class that is being held here The students in that class answered questions that l cannot answer and that many here .cGnnot answer.
 Once year I go to the Arizona Older Boys conferences. Here I see in a. measure what the Y. M. c. A. is doing for these boys. It fits the needs of every class of boy. The Hi-Y program is an ideal method whereby the boys, on their own initiative. take the responsibility of keeping the schools clean" e..1
 The speaker told of one of the uni que dinners given by the late Theo- dore Roosevelt at which the guests were asked to tell what person. out side of their immediate families. had influenced their lives the most Elihu Root arose and said that the man who had influenced his life the most out side of his family was Robert Me Birney, Y M. C. A. secretary at New York
 Mir Day said. We are starting out with a wider conception of this work and 1 want to say am glad of the move. It will not be hard to invite men to have a part in this There will be objections of courSe-there always are-but we can go ahead in confidence that we are doing the right thing and with confidence that the people of this community will dol the right thing"
 Dr. Charles Reign Scoville, who is conducting revival meetings here, was next. introduced and gave an nspir- ing talk on the influence for good which the Y. M. C. A. can have in every community. Dr. Scoville said that if tie Y. M c. A had never ac- complished anything aside from what it did in the war it had earned the right of unqualified support in every community
 John Mason Ross took up the ques- ton as viewed from the local commu- nifty standpoint He said, We are here to find out just how much the community is willing to do in. get ting behind the Y. M. c. A. We have had the experience of the war in the matter of giving. Before the war,I we supported the Y. M. C. A. in way, but before the war we had no appre- citation as people of the immense amoune Of work that has been left un- done for boys and girls and the work that has been left undone in the mat ] ter of naturalizing them.
 ''The war is over, but We can't l forget these problems as in the past l What is going to solve these prob | lens? The right sort of education i not only in the schools, but out
 Here the speaker took occasion to 1 commend the local school system tas ! the most progressive in the state, and ! c. F, PhilbrOOk. superintendent, as being largely responsible for this.
 But this is not all.' continued the speaker. we must care for the boys i and girls of the schools.
 At this point the speaker gave remarkably concise definition of Bol- | shev1sm. He said, "Bolshevism is | ignoraice. With the psoper sort of | education there will be no chance for / that sort of thing in this country or in any other"
 My only criticism of the Y M C.. A iS lLdl u lS llOl DiB cHOuSu. Has not go enough members and has not | got the backing of the entire commu- nifty. It would be fine if we could | pass this responsibility on to a few individuals or organizations, but this does not promote the community 1 spirit.
 ''It would be a serious thing if this Y. NJ. c. A. should be unable to pro ceed with the same scope as before [ We ought not to take too much sat isfaction in what we did during the war. We must keep the habit of do ing something for the community What we want to know is how much are you willing to give to support the "Y" NOW"
