The of the thirtieth an- niversary of the recreation department of the Y. W. C. A. is now in progress throughout the country, and judging from the interest that is being mani- event it will surpass the in connection exercises. Thir- observance fested in the previous celebrations with the anniversary ty years ago mothers began to think | about the needs of younger girls for recreation, entertainment and inter- esting study, and in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. in 1886 the first meeting to take up this work was held, Today there are 138 associations having organized work, and in the local association there are clubs consisting of girls be- tween the ages of 12 and 14 years which obtain these advantages. The Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions w; started 1886 and this has proved to be one of the most successful works carried out at the local association. Mrs. Wilson Hume, nee Carthcart, the fi secre- | tary of this branch, is now located at | a Y. M. C. A. camp in India. There are four clubs for Industrial | also an association which co- with the Travelers’ Aid Work of the association. Visitors at the Pan- American Exposition were greatly | pleased with the treatment receiv at the cafeteria conducted by the as- | sociation and through it conspicuous | service was rendered to thousands of people daily. Its nursery, reading and | rest proved advantageous in | many ways to the fair management. To realize the significance of the Y. W. C. A. as a national movement, one must get a glimpse of the student | work, the foreign work, and all phases of association work in addition to the | city associations, The Y. W. C. A, is | the biggest woman's organization in the country. roon Coming Events, The Silver Bay club will hold a dramatic performance tomorrow evening entitled “Rebecca’s Triumph.” | The affair is for the fund to send | aelegates to the Y.

Knox, president of the Knox School of Salesmanship of Cleveland, Ohio, in an address before the Commonwealth club on “Com- munity Development.” The lecture was held in the Grammar school audi- torium. _Mr. Knox maintained that over ninety per cent. of the people of this | country have one thing only which keeps them out of the poor house and that thing is a job. In Sv rlana 500 out of every thousand people have money in the bank, while in this coun- iry the propertion is but ninety-nine to the thousand and the majority of the savers are foreigners. Americans X money in many ways, said Knox. The “movies” alone take @ daily toll of a million dollars. Mil- lions of dollars, one-fifth of the wealth of the country, is squandered on to- )m( co in its various forms and it does nobody any good from an economic standpoint, contended Mr. Knox. We he said, the spendthrift nation of the world and when we twant to finance a public improvement we are forced to borrow from nations who have saved while we spend. Are Foolish Spenders. Mr. Mr. Knox said he could give numer- ous figures to prove that Americans ure the most foolish spenders in the world and educational deficiency is the cause of many business failures. ! He placed the cost of social vices at three billions a yvear and twice that | amount on dissipation. Only ten per cent. of a man's brain power is put to use and many people do not know what a head is for. Germany awoke twenty-five years ago, but America is yet to awake. Ninety-seven per cent. of the people in this country who have reached the age of sixty-five are de relatives, friends or harity, and ninety-seven per'cent. of the men die penniless because of in- efficiency. But three per cent. of Americans really succeed, Mail Order War. Mr. Knox referred to the gigantic battle which is being silently waged in this country between the retail mer- chants and the mail order houses and he cited figures to prove that the mail houses are taking huge sums from every state, much of should go to the retail mer- chant. The speaker expressed sur- | prise that more high schools 1id not install commercial courses and sales- manship courses. He declared the stem of this country twenty-five years behind the times and in favor of salaried school board: end them to England or Germany to spend three years in the study of in- Gustrial educational systems and then inaugurate them he he id. Remedy A problem before it can yearly which Su Stey must be acknowledged be solved contended the wrgued he was justified in calling us rather forc- ibly to our weakness. Instead of selling muscle from the chin down, we need to prepare ourselves to sell brain power from the chin' up. Up to recently the educators of America held the business man in contempt and we are beginning to wake up to the need of reorzanized agricultural, commercial and industrial education. The greatest asset of the country is | maximum manhood and womanhood. lThe suspicion of the farmer towards | the trader; the businessman towards the manufacturer must cease. We must break out of our cocoanut of | selfishness. The purpose of a commu- { nity is to serve that community to its mum capacity. We are too often satisfied to rely upon experience but | experience based upon ignorance or | bad methods means failure. Community salesmanship is prac- w tically unknown in this country. The one with the unused idea will get the ‘husiness and if we don't take it our competitor will. The Chamber of Com- ! merce and the school children should study the amout of business our com- munity does and figure out how much it ought to do. Business men must invest in order to make. A Cham- ber of Commerce amply supported | by liberal dues can do much. It is ! not a question of what it costs but of what it is worth. Members of con- are not much interested in bus- They are for the most | part lawyers. As a community we | must have a definite aim; we must be going somewhere in order to ar- rive.
