Fine Report
H. II. Davis, general secretary, read
report of the activities of the in
which he gave statistics of the work
accomplished. The membership has
increased from 500 for the last calen
dar year to 903 for this year. The
physical department records show
total attendance of 17,123 as contrast
ed with II, 523 for the year before. This
increase necessarily required an in
crease In the expenditures of practi-
cally 100000. This, however, was TAX
EN- care of by increased rates of MEM
bershfp and dormitory fees. which was
authorized year ago.
One of the outstanding features of
the association work this summer is
the "learn to swim" campaign, which
has Just closed with total of 60 boys
taught to eswim. This is in addition
to quite a number of boys who learned
the art in the classes which form part
of the regular gymnasium work dur
ing the winter
Club Work Grows
The club work in the boys depart
ment has also increased in scope and
interest since the present boys sec
rotary, w. T. Mock, was engaged in
December. Under his management
the work has continued all the year
round instead of being seasonal as
formerly During the summer months
the activities of this department will
largely be out of doors, consisting of
a baseball game or other attraction
for the boys each day of the week.
One of the new clubs is the Radio club
which has been formed under the di-
rection of Mr.. Mock with the assist
ance of o. j, Kruger and which is
now devoting its time to the erection
of an antenna for the transmitting sta
ton which is under construction in
the building. About Is boys are inter
ested in this at present and no effort is
being made to increase the member
ship until the station is in operation,
at which time members will be invited

Camp life is one of the striking feat
ures of the boys department work in
which Wausau heads all other cities
in the state with a registration of II
for Camp Manitowish and 80 for the
Cherry Pickers' camp az Sturgeon Bay.
In addition to its own program the Y
has co-operated with the Boy Scout
movement in number of ways, in
Guiding the privilege of using base
ment rooms for headquarters, a regu-
lar hour each week for swimming tests
and the learn to swim classes, and al
so with the county Y, NJ c. n. secre-
rotary by inviting the Rothschild and
Schofield troops to use the gymnasi-
um and swimming pool
The Y. M, c. A. has recently been
successful in obtaining employment
for IA boys with the Wausau Canning
company and number of other boys
for other firms and individuals need
ing an odd job worker. Merchants and

requirements with the association for
