Local Y. M. C. A. men consider the ward school teachers' conference, held in the association building Tuesday night, one of the most successful affairs of Its kind In the history of that organization.

Some twenty teachers, representing all but three of the ward schools, were present and all took much Interest in the work of the Y. M. C. A. among the boys of the city.

WILSON ENDORSES WORK. Superintendent H. B. Wllsbn, in short talk to the said: "1 highly endorse the work of the Young Men's Christian tosaoclation among the boys of the city. consider that an association Is better prepared to take care of the boys than any other religious or social order in the town.

The Y. M. C. is a representative body, not of one particular church in the city, but of all the churches. "In voicing the general sentiments of the public school teachers towards the 1 M.

C. I can say that the entire force of the school system will cooperate with the association men in a i Its boys' campaign and boys' work a success. The Y. M. C.

A. Is not trying to get new boy members for the money there Is In It. It Is getting the mem- toers for the good of- the boys themselves. Therefore, we will stand behind any boy move they may make." BOYS' SECRETARY SPEAKS. General Secretary W.

E. Edmonds, Boys' Work Director H. O. Eaman and Physical Director J. H.

Keyser briefly addressed the assembled pedagogues. Mr, Eaman outlined the work of the boys' department the coming year and said that It will be one of the most successful seasons In the history of the local Y. M. C. A.

PHYSICAL WORK HELPS. Immediately following the talks the teachers had a general discussion. During the discussion it was brought out plainly that the physical work given to Y. M. C.

A. boys aids them greatly In getting their studies, makes them brighter In school and more active on the play-ground. It was also plainly set forth that the Y. M. C.

A. work given to the boys does not Interfere in any way with t.ie school work. If either of the two must suffer, it must be the association work. It was the general sentiment of the teachers' meeting that a conference of teachers should he held annually, and It Is probable that the idea will be carried out. The teachers will henceforth annually discuss the physical and mental needs of Decatur boys In the Y.

M. C. A. building, GENERAL MOTHERS' CONFERENCE. A general mothers' conference will be held In the Y.

M. C. A. building Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Cards will ibe sent out to the women, telling them of the time of the conference and Its object.
