Physical Direrctor |of Y. M.
C. A. Devotes Much Time
to Physical Training of the
School Children.
1,600 ARE GIVEN
DAILY EXERCISE
Local JV Said to Be Only
Ohe Which Sends Director
to Schools for the Benefit
of the Students.
There is, perhaps, no other Y. M. C.
A'. in the United States and of a eer
tanity no other Y. M. C. A. in' North
Carolina which is doing so much for the
children of the community', in which -Jt
is situated as is the Concord associa
tion.
Not only is the Y building itself fair
ly teeming with the activities of the chil
dren as they go about in the develop
ment of their bodies, but the association
has expanded its usefulness and reached
out into the schools of the city, giving
to the pupils physical training which
they would not otherwise have, training
which is of inestimable value.
That the work is appreciated by the
teachers goes without saying. It is an
old adage that says “All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy.” Realising
that some scientific physical work was
necessary in the schools, the teachers
welcomed the announcement that the Y
was to take over this phase of the cur
riculum. Even the-few who were scep
tical have been won Ovei*. _ Excerpts
from a ( letter sent to H. W. Blanks, lo
cal secretary, show plainly what the
fourth and fifth grade teachers tiling
of the work which is done. The text*
of the letter, in part, is as follows:
“Allow us to thank you for the efforts
of the Y. M. C. A. in giving us physical
education in our schools this yedr. Your
co-operation with us has been splendid
throughout and we thoroughly appre
ciate it and heartily endorse the work
you are doing in Concord.
"From the standpoint of improved
health alone, we find that many children
have gained in weight. One boy in par
ticular weighed fifty-six pounds last
Full. Now he weighs eighty pounds.
Tills phenonemal increase of twenty-four
pounds can not be due solely to increase
tis age. So we attribute it to the^ef
fects of the physical training In echooj.
“Nqf only has it benefit ted the ebil
d.ew
helped the morale of the school and
is doing much to help the children to be.
good citiaens by teaching them to "fire'
and take” and to play together loyal
ly." , ‘ . 1 >■' - •
Another letter, this from the Primary
School, comments on the Y work much
in the\ same vein. In pact, the*, tuxt '
follows: , ( ..
“Since physical training has been in
troduced in the Primary School, there
has been a very marked improvement in
two respects, first, the hnbit of attention,
second, the ability to take a command
cheerfully and promptly.
‘The growing ohild of six, seven, eight
and nine years.must be physically active.
His muscles must have exercise. He
should-not/.be compelled to. sit sts„f<}r
long periods of time. . ; .- , ...

BAPTIST CONVENTION.
TO MEET IN MEMPHIS
Boards in North Carolina Patting Iforth
Extraordinary Efforts to Bench Goals.
Raleigh, April ’ 15.—The ■ Southern
Baptist Convention will meet in Mem
phis, Twin., beginning Wednesday, May
15th, continuing through Monday. May
18th. ' The books of the different boards
of this convention will close April ftflth.
Between now and that time the Bap
tists of North Carolina and of the South
will be putting forth an extraordinary
effort to meet their financial goal.
It will be necessary for the Baptists
of this state -to raise approximately
8200,000 within the next two weeks if
they attain the objective set by them
selves, every cent of which will be need
ed to meet the outstanding obligations
on the various denominational enter
prises included in their 1025 program.
Secretory Charles E. Maddry is opti
mistie over the situation. He believes
this gigantic task can be done by the
846,000 Baptist church members in this
state, and be believes that there are
put this program over in a glorious
fashion by the end of this month.
i The books of Treasurer Walters Cur.
hßin, tbf l -this city, show that something
like $02,000 has been reported., to ftim
since the first «f this year. As com
pared with former years this is a good
showing. Most of the contributions are
always sent in (during the last two weeks
before the books dose, muclrpf.it the la:,
day. It was feared that a serious rea<\
lion would follow the close of the 7o
million campaign, the last Os last year.
At first it seemed that this fear would
be justified,'but there has been a marked
change in the attitude of the people
throughout the state within the last
few weeks, and it is now believed tbat
the Baptists of this state will raise quote
:ad ‘ranch, if not more, money this year
as they did last year. With good busi
ness prospects and a fine crop outlook,
the situation is regarded very hopeful.
Next Sunday, April 10th, will be ob
served generally in all the 28.000 Baptist
churches throughout the South, it is
hoped, as a day for gleaning offerings
from each individual member for the uni
fied program, which includes state, home
and foreign missions, Christian educa
tion, old ministers’ relief and hospitals.
“Worthy offering from every member”
is the slogan,
