JL SYSTEM Lloyd R. Killam, of the Hono lulu Y. M. C. A. came up on the Kinau Wednesday morning to lay the foundation for Y. M. C. A. work on this island. While kere he was the guest of Rev. J. M. Lydgate, and returned to the city Saturday night. In general, it is proposed to or ganize t n e movement, w l t li branches for work in all of the towns of the island. An experienc ed man will be placed in charge. The expense of the system will be in the neighborhood of $2500 a year, plus such receipts as there may later be from dues, etc. The plan lor raising this money is not yet complete. Mr, Killam left feeling quite enthusiastic over the prospects. Following are some extracts from authorities on the subject of rural Y. M. C. A. work: RURAL WORK OF THE Y. M. C, A. "There should be a large exten sion of the work of the Y. M. C. A. into the rural communities, There is apparently no other way to grip the hearts and livs of the boys and young men of the avetage country neighborhood." From Country Life Commission. "I inyite your intention to what the Commission says of the need of an extension of such work as that of the Young Men's Christian Association in country communi ties, Let me lay special emphasis upon what the commission say at the very end of its report on per sonal ideals and local leadership. Everything resolves itself in the end into the question of personali ty." ; President Roosevelt's Comment on the report. Principles of Organization and Methods of Apptoach. County work is not an attempt to build up a new organization. Its program is based on the re cognition that the primary institu tions of country life are the home, the school and the church. It recognizes the fact that these in stitutions so fundamental to the wholesomeness and efficiency of rural life are often functioning vei y inadequately. It finds its largest challenge in supplementing their efforts." "The vitality of the movement is in the personality and leader ship capacity of the rural secretary. 'He is usually the fittest type ot college man, often not only a col lege graduate, but also with some special training. He is a man who loves country life and believes in the country He is usually a mm of large capacity for leadership with a brond knowledge of human nature and a fine friendliness as well as an earnest Christian pur pose and a great longing to help country boys and young men to well developed Christian manhood".
