MR. STRATTON SPEAKS
AT Y. M. C. A.
Discusses "The Y. M. C. A. Sec
retaryship as Life Work."
Mr. Stratton, secretary of the
city Y. M. C. A., addressed the
students in Flinn Hall Wednes
day evening, on "The Y. M. C.
A. Secretaryship as Life Work."
With this address the series of
life work lectures ended.
In the beginning Mr. Stratton
mentioned the fact that many
of the offices in the Y. M. C. A.
work are filled by incompleted
men because many of the college
students look upon this work as
a minor calling. And in many
cases men who have failed in
other professions resort to the
C'~ Y. M. C. A. work from lack of
financial support. The speaker
held that this ought not to be the
case.
Mr. Stratton stated that the
5 work is not very old, having
Q been started about seventy years
: ago. But today there are three
thousand eight hundred men in
the work. He also stated that
he has been in the work twenty
eight years. Each year new
buildings are built and better
equipments are provided for the
old buildings. But still there
are .undreds of towns that have
above four thousand inhabitants
that ought to maintain Y. M. C.
A's.
The Y. M. C. A. work is grow
ing rapidly, is Mr. Strattons opin
ion. And in the near future
when the hundreds of towns and
cities that have not now a Y. M.
C. A. will fall in line with the
great movement, there will
be many openings for trained
men, upon whom the success
of the work depends.
"The Association is the strateg
ic center of the city," said Mr.
Stratton. He also stated that
the opportunity for getting in
touch with the civic and religious
life of cities is great, this mak
ing men cleaner, broader-minded
and more patriotic.
The (qualifications that are re
quired in a Y. M. C. A. secre
tary are leadership, business
ability, sympathy and common
sense. The man who has these
(lualifications, taking for
granted that he is a christian
gentleman, there is no reason
why he should not wield a great
influence in the city in which he
establishes himself.

BROADUS MITCHELL
ISSUES SUPPLEMENT
Former Gamecock Editor Does
Work for Richmond Paper.
Broadus Mitchell, a member'
of the class of '13 and the son of
Dr. S. C. Mitchell, former presi
dent of the University, is now
with The Richmond Evening
Journal. The following is an ex
tract from a letter received by
Dr. Wauchope from the young
journalist:
"I am sending you under sep
arate cover a copy of a special
industrial, commercial and social
supplement printed today by The
Journal. I worked on it for a
month, and think it is fairly rep
resentative of Richmond's great
ness. As one who knew the city
when it was less metropolitan, I
hope the edition will prove of
some interest to you.
"The University is very often
in my mind, especially since the
spring days and baseball. Thru
The State I manage to keep up a
little, and I have had the pleas
ure of seeing Prof. Moore, Prof.
Baker and Dr. Morse at various
times during the winter."
The supplement mentioned is
indeed an admirable production.
It sets forward in an attractive
and instructive manner the city
of Richmond. The work is in
many ways unique and would do
credit to a journalist of many
years experience.
Broadus won many honors dur
ing his stay at the University.
He was at one time editor-in-chief
of The Carolinian, and also The
Gamecock. Ie was a splendid
writer, having won many medals
for essays and stories written
for the college publications.
Men Direct Field Day.
On Friday morning Kizer and
LaMotte, two of our wide-a-wake
students, went over to Batesburg
to manage a field day meet. This
was the second experience these
two men have had of this na
ture.
The Batesburg school is an un
usually well equipped school, with
an especially able faculty. Tho
it was not in the State meet, by
next year it will be amply repre
sented.
The field day meets are a pro
duct of the State High School
and Oratorical meet upon the va
rious schools over the State. The
teachers of the State have seen
the invaluable results of bring
ing the schools and pupils in
touch with one another, and as a
result local meets are being en
couraged.
W. J. Robbins, H. L. Dixon,
W. A. Schiffley, and James De
Treville, all members of the class,
of '13, were visitors on the cam
'pnus last week.
