( WOuK OF THE INSTITUTION IS BEING CRIPPLED FOR ROOM SEC. BURNETT COMPLIMENTED Directors Put Minimum Amount To Be Raised at $50,000? Some of Which Is Pledged At a mooting of the directors of the Y. M. C. A. last night it was decided to inaugurate a campaign for a' new home for the association to cost not Ices than $60,000. This Is in pursu ance of the agreement entered into with Secretary Burnett when ho was engaged a year ago, and also in com pliance with the statements made to the subscribers In the r?organisation nf the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C A. last fall and spring did nome wonderful work, when the lack of equipment Is considered. It attracted attention all over the United States. The night school was hailed with' particular delight by the wel fare workers of the country, and the success of the textile night school was regarded as the mont remarkable thing ever undertaken by a Y. M. C. A. of this size, especially handicapped for teaching facilities. As a result of that work a number of. young men have been inspired to seek for a broader and more liberal education, and the college and the Y. M. C. A. are actually gratified. So notable has been the achieve ment of the Anderson Y. M. C. A. in the lost year that persona from other cities 'and'in "big business" have been trying to get the secretary away from Anderson into what they consider ? larger field of usefulness. Mr. Bur nett has. repeatedly declined to con ci dor-any offers, but some, bete come recontTy, )MU$2h$perslst?n??' that ' tbo directors, thought if their'duty to to him try to give Mr. Bunrett h better equipment with which to work. In consequence wh&reof it was decided last night th?t unless there, should be something vO interfere, the campaign for funds for a $60,000 building will he inaugurated in November. It- is thought that nothing will Inte refer. ' Nothing To Interfere. The field was canvassed thoroughly and it was found that there is no other benevolence or charitable or eliemos nary institution having claims on the public that desires to put on any such campaign for some time, and aa the need of a Y. M. C. A. building must be faced some time, it was decided to start right now. Pledges of subscrip tions aggregating several thousands of dollars were made some time ago and there was a strong sentiment to start, out for an even. more preten tious building, but Mr. Burnet and others cautioned that what. Anderson needs Is merely a home for its Y. M. o. A. and a comfortable and attractive working quarters, and it would be bet ter to have a definite and modest amount in vleW and to get it. Anderson Ib the only city of Its size in the country that haa no Y. M. C. ?. building, and this cannot be said a year from now, for the directors have had such assurances (hat they believe that the money will be raised In four days of the week set for the campaign, about the 15th of October. Spartan b?rg la Just completing a handsome home for Ita Y. M. ?. A. and the bulld ing Ut' Greenville Is the center of in terest for that bustling city. Bumter has.recently occupied its building sim ilar- to the oiie that Anderson would like to have. Columbia a few years ago p?t op a campaign for |76,00O and raised over $100,000. Th? people in the cities albera the campaigns have' been put on declare that the greatest asset of th?a? citi os Is the home for the Y. M. C. A. For- every live city there Is a growing population ot young men, and the atmosphere of the Y. H. C. A. building Is always such that the ' young men seek to get in there and to h'avo a homellko placo while they are away from homo. The result la that they are kopt troni straying into mis chief. ; , V Good Work Appreciated. The directora In appreciation of .the faithful and valuable work of Sccre / tary Burnett for the last year voted . u him a vacation, and it was announced that he will receive An increase Id ' salary next year, |n consideration of the increased responsibility and work. The bnlldipg campaign will not be started until after the work of the In stitution is shaped up for the winter and after Mr. Burnstt'e return from his rest,'and really his vacation will be spent In shaping mattare to the end that la desired and will not be so much of a vacation after ?ll.
