A, submitted to the board of directors last evening there are now 1,421 members In the association against the besy previous record of % 1,280. Particular emphasis has been laid on the religious work this year and it has been put on a broader basjs than ever before. - During the month there was a total attendance at the re- ligious meetings of 1,400 which is far greater than the attendance at the so- clal or educational acivities. The in- crease In the activity of the assocla- | tion and the broadening out of the work s vary gratifying to all that are in any way connected with it. The complete report of Secretary| Barnes follows: To the Board of Directors: Gentlemen:— A good idea of the extent and scope of the work of the Y. M. C. A. may be gatned from the records of attend- ance made during the past month. The attendance in organized activities in all departments for the past four weeks was 10,750, or an average of 386 a day, including Sundays. In ad-: ditlon to this there was as large a pro- portionate attendance in the game and reading rooms. The membership count shows a rec- ord of 1,421 compared with 1,280 as ¢ the best record made in any previous year. Physical Department. A substantial gain in attendance over that of last month was made, particularly in the gymnasium classes which attracted 1,880 boys as com- pared with 1,624 for the previous month. An all ‘round athletic contest is being conducted in the men's and boys’ classes, league has enrolled the best players in the city, and two games are played each week before a good sized audi- ence. A bowling league is also play- ing off a tournament. The gym team has been converted into a leaders’ corps w Ling creditable ser- vice, assisting the physical directors in the gymnasium classes. ‘The forty additional lockers ordered at the last board meeting are now be- ing installed and will help relieve the congestion in the. dressing rooms. Educational Department. The enrollment in educational classes is 443 and the attendance for the past month was 1,246. The Per- sonal Efficiency class enrollment is 204, and the average attendance was 194, which indicates the interest in this class. Very general satisfaction is expressed by the men in the class | about the instruction they are recelv- ing. An interesting lecture on accounting was given Jauary 31 by a representa- tive of Pace & Pace. Tonight the orig- inal students in the class will begin their fifty-second week in the course by starting their work in cost account- | ig. The second class in Memory training was opened with a public demonstra- | tion by Victor Werner, the instructor, Jauuary 17th. The Willlam H. Hart Debating club held two sessions in January. Ome of these meetings was a practice debate with the debating club from the New Britaln High school, in preparation for their annual interscholastic debate. The members of the Y. M. C. A. or- chestra are rehearsing for their annual concert which will be given April 10, as the final number in the entertain- met course. The regular work in the Balesman- ship class has been supplemented dur- ing the month by selling demonstra- tions before the class by J. A. Durston A four-team basketball | salesman for the Royal Typewriter company, and A. W. Sampson of the ‘Wilson company. This supplementary work is done to give the students an opportunity to see, in this practical way, how the theory of salesmanship, as taught in class, is appsded to whole- sale and retail selling. Religious Work. As was indicated in last month’s report the religious work of the asso- ciation has been put on a broader basis this year, particularly the Sunday afternoon meeting. As a result the names of sixty men for church mem- bership have been sent to’ pastors, fifty men have indicated their desire to live the Christian life, and over a hundred others have made decisions for clean living. A special meeting was held two weeks ago in the gymna- sium, attended by 276 young men. Charles R. Drum was the speaker, and at that meeting many men altered the | course of their lives. Speakers at the Sunday afternoon meetings have been R. L. Watson of Mount Hermon school, Dr. J. H. Mc- Curdy, Geo. L. McNutt of New York, David L. Ranney of the Bowery Mis- sion and Curtis Field of Yale. The Bible class supper group has been addressed by Rev. H. W. Malier and Rev, Warren F. Cook. The total attendance at religious meetings was 1,400, which is a greater number than attended the social or educational ac- tivities. Social Work. The Royal Male quartet gave a splendid entertainment before a large audience in the gymnasium January 80th. A general social gathering is held each Sunday afternoon after the meet- ing, when coffee is served by the social committe. This is also a splendid get- together affair much enjoyed by the men. Boys' Department. The High School Christian Living club entertained the New Britain and Hartford High school basketball teams last Friday evening.
