"This committee is doing splendid
work with girls from twelve to eight
cen years of age. A former city at
torney in a talk before the Ladies Lit
erary club, made the statement that
If effective work was to be done for
the moral welfare of the girls of our
city, that the girls must be gotten hold
of before the age of fourteen. The
object of the girls work department
of the Y. W. G. A. is to put into the
minds of the young girls high ideal
to strive for, and give them forms of
amusements which are healthy, whole
some and full of pep. We feel that as
time goes on, the value of this work
will be striking.
"The recreation committee, of which
Miss Nell Dunbar is chairman, has for
its purpose to help create in the COM
munity right standards with regard
to recreation and amusements to fur
nish opportunity to girls and young
women for wholesome recreation, a
satisfying social life and training for
physical efficiency.
"We feel that the work begun at the
association headquarters is already
giving the girls new ideals as to re-
creation, and the wholesome good
times enjoyed without the jazz band
accompaniment are inspiring.
"The committee of general education
is headed by Mrs. K. w. Jones, assis-
ted by Mrs. Frank Barden, Mrs. e. P.
John, Mrs. r. A. Fisher, Mrs. j. A.
Rowley, Miss Francis Irvine, Miss
Elizabeth Stoddard, Miss Libby Roloff
and Miss Plank. This committee will
be responsible for the forming of
classes and finding leaders for such
help as the girls call for. One group
to be formed at once is choral union
which will be led by Miss Blandin and
Mr.. G. H. Ingraham. Everyone knows
that Mr.. Ingraham is an inspiring
leader and Miss Blandin has many
ideas for musical events she wishes to
carry out.
The aim of the religious work of
the association is to make possible
the realization of the spiritual pur-
pose of the association by interpreting
religion to girls in terms of modern
every day living and by causing the
association itself to become an active
force for righteousness in the COM
munity. Miss Susie Underwood is
the chairman of the committee and is
devoting some time at the National
Headquarters in New York to study
along that line.
''The service committee of which
Mrs F. o. Crocker is chairman, will
open its active work with a visit from
a National Field secretary to Wausau
soon who will put the work before the
public.
''The committee on publicity is COM
posed of Mrs. Walter Flieth, chairman,
Mrs Grant Ford, Mrs. S. M. B. Smith
and Mrs. S. J.. Pentler To this COM
mittee is entrusted the duty of inter
preting to the public the aims and ac-
tivities of he Y. w. c. A in its local,
national and world wide aspects.
I'VE feel that the public is anxious
to know what lines of work we are
attempting to do and have been as
sured by our newspaper men that they
will gladly cooperate with us in get
ing our aims and activities before the
public.
"In conclusion, l think i may saw
that one of the most important things.
we as board have done, is to secure
Tor Wausau the services of our general
secretary, Miss Alma Blandin, and our
associate secretary, Miss Marion
Ream. With the help of these young
women and the good people of Wau-
sau, we feel sure that we can do a
work which fully justifies all the time,
effort and money which has been and
will be put into this association"
