Are the citizens of this generation meeting their full responsibility to tbe next?
The Sarvey aftd Orgaafrlns Ceaaitttee. These are questions which a group of men from the two counties have iMen trying to answer during the past few months. The State Committee of the Young Men's Christian A*socla- tlon, having been requested to organ- ice the work of the Association in theae two counties, appointed the fol¬ lowing committee tu make a survey of , the fleld and to help determine what

] ability and training, oiiens a field that j should prove of great economic value I lo the boys and girls. As a part ot ithe survey over 1.200 high scbool ; boys and girls were questioned as to : tbe work they did during spare time I and vacation. Wtaile ttae vast major- I Ity work, a relatively small number I are engaged in occupations^ that hare I much, if any, vocational training ral- j 'ue.
Tbere can be no doubt tbat many boys and girls are going out into life I without any special training and with- I out any serious thought on their part, i or on the part of qualifled adulta, as \ to the capabllitiea of tbe Indivldlial, j ir as to opportunities or training; needed In the various occupations. Such a condition in this age of spe- ¦¦ ctalizatlon and tectinlcal training! means that many of these boys and !

as to the best remedies for social aad moral ills, is eager to serve God by serving one's fellow men.
The Proposed Plaa.
This careful study of the social ,facta and forces leadi^ inevitably to the conviction that there is a place in the two counties for a general or¬ ganization whose chief object will be the discovery, enlistment, training and dlrccHoQ of local voIuiite«r i«ad- ersblp by an employed staff of spe- clalista In various lines of soctal en¬ deavor.

Ttaat ttae ork may be efflcient it Is proiMMed to organize it under eight departmentd, each department to be the direct resp9n8ibility of a secre¬ tary, selected because of apecial abil¬ ity, training and experience in his particular line of work. Theae de-

The two counties can well use the expe¬ rience of other places throughout the country, and avoid so far as possible mistaketX in organization and Ineffl- cient mOthods. A careful study of any community under trained direction ought to lead to a sympathetic under- ataading and clear definition of the problems, and a plan developed In the light of modern methods fpr meeting those problems. An Investigation that leads to no plan Is useless, a Plan without careful study of the omdltlons Is like building a bridge without any foundation.

This group of men, together witli the represen-atives of other commun¬ ities, whom they were empowered to add to the Board, will be responsible for the organizing and financing of the undertaking.
It is estimated that it will cost ap¬ proximately, forty thoutfand dollars to meet the ezi>ense8 of the flrst year, which provides for the executive force of nine, the offlce force of four, and all other necessary expenetss. The directors are undertaking to secure thla amount through a campaign which will be started immediately- Ii was iannounced at the dinner at Gar¬ den (ity that about one-fourth of thia sum Is already pledged to the new or¬ ganization.

An Aid to Better Telephone Service
Good telephone service is in a large measure dependent upon the con¬ stant practice of certain well defined rules of telephone usage that help improve the quality ofyourserV' ice.
These rules may be briefly sum- marized as follows:—
L—^Always consult the Tele¬ phone Directory to be sur* you call tbe right number.
2.—If yon cannot find the de¬ sired number in the Direc¬ tory, call " Inforniaiion."
3.—Speak clearly and distinctly diractfy into tbe transmitter.
4.—Listen to the operator's rep¬ etition of the number and tteknotolAttga it
S.—When talking over the tele¬ phone give your whol* at¬ tention to the telephone con- versa tion.
&—Anawer yonr talephon* promptly. It'a a courtesy your talepbone caller appre- cktas.
7.—Bewar* of th* many useless attachments to your tel*- phone which ar* offered for aala. They coat you money and degrade yoxxt service.
S'—Let tbe telepbon* reflect your personality In as pleas¬ ing a manner as though you war* talking face to face.
