With it. so much larger q program could be carried on. that you would soon forget the cost of getting it in the pride you , would take in having it.
 Now to get back to the results of the years work. It is easy to sum up the number of socials. the en- rollment in educational classes, the gymnasium attendance and all that, but it is much more difficult to check up the results in lives chang ed for the better. ] don't suppose any one knows how accurately to do this. Observation of individual cases. what men voluntarily say about influence the "Y" is in their lives, and what parents tell me the association means to their boys. is the closest check that can be made.
 ''1f boys in our groups joining churches is an indication of the value Of these group clubs, then they are of some value. If young men enlisted in service is a valuable feature. then We can score on that point. If hundreds of young men find themselves in better health be- cause Of the 'Y" we can be thank full. We know of many more who in all probablit would not be the men they are except for the "Y".
 "A couple of weeks ago a mother of one of the boys in a Bible class visited the group. At the end of the session she said to the leader, I will take off my hat to you. What a splendid piece of service you are doing with this group of Junior high school boys. You don't talk down to them, but treat them as people of intelligence, and they get what you are teaching. You will never know what you are doing for my boy. The Y. NJ. c. A. is certainly a splendid institution
 What was being done in this group was being done in a dozen similar groups. and in the educa- tional classes in the gymnasium classes, in fact in every phase of the Associations activities
