Ny Dear Mr.. Lindley:
Now that our school-year is draw
ing to a close. I desire 10 express our
appreciation Of the splendid work
done by the Young Mems Christian
Association Physical Directors in
our grammar schools. and the highly
beneficial results obtained. To be-
gin with. the instructors are men Of
superior personal qualities and have
been able to make their influence felt
in the school life and personal life
Of the individual students. That
fact means more to us than l am
able to express in the few lines Of a
letter. II seems TO me that the in
struction could not have been better
when considering the lack Of facn-
ities available. The quality OF the
work and the fine response on the
part of the pupils surpasses that
which I have observed in the schools
in other cities. II has been bene-
fetal to our pupils physically and,
b believe. to an appreciable extent,
b. mentally. I hope that you will ac-
, quaint the Young Mems Christian
s Association officials with the fact
, that three OF the mem bers OF their
] stam are reaching and benefitting
more than twenty five hundred
p youths Of our city This is a much
( wider extension Of the field Of per-
/ sonal contacts than is usually es-
T talblished by Young Mems Christian
D Associations.
I trust the excellent results OF this
4 years work will so commend our
u
your Board Of Directors that they
g Nill be willing to continue the work
another year.
e. Cordially yours.
