REPORT SHOWS GROWTH OF ‘Y. W.’ Work of Association in 1920 Surpasses That of 1919. Enlargement of program and an lncreaae In the number of glrla taking advantage of the program are the outstanding features of the report of the Indianapolis Young Women’s Christian Association which has Just been completed for 1920. The girls’ work and the Industrial departments, which are most exclusively for girls, showed the greatest growth. Both had a well balanced program planned for the four-fold development of glrla; mental, physical, spiritual and ■octal. During the year the' scope of activities was enlarged and a number of new features were added. The girls work "department had three distinct groups all organized into Girl Reserves Clubs. The grade school clubs had a membership of 289, the high school clubs a combined membership of H 6 and the clnba composed of young employed girls, representing thirty-seven different firms, a membership of seventy-three with more than twice that number attending the meetings and parties, making a total for the department of 529. Industrial clubs, whose members are employed girls over 18. had an exceptionally rapid growth. Attendance at noon recreation hours In the factories and stores was five times what It was In 1919 and three times as many girls attended the monthly federation dinners and meetings. All told 2,521 girls took advantage of the program which the department offered Both departments atrongly emphasized service work, each club having been made responsible for some certain phase of the work. The two Y. W. C. A. residences were ■tandardized as to equipment and regulations during the year. Both found it necessary to abolish the use of waiting lists because of the great number of applicants which could not be accommodated. The two houses for varying periods of time cared for 296 girls. At the main building 4.714 transient guests werw cared for, an Increase of 425 over 1919.

The report shows an unusual growth for the department of physical education, j enrollment in gymnasium classes having Increased 300 per cent between September and January. Three new types of work were introduced: an active cam-I paign for approved shoes, a reducing course and a course In life-saving, the completion of which entitles one to the Red Cross certificate and badge. Other popular divisions of the department were the roller skating parties on Saturday nights, which 'were attended by an average of 100 girls and boys each week, basket-ball, which attracted 600 girls for practice and teams, and swimming for | which there were 17,220 paid admissions. The report dealing with religious edu- ! cation shows a Bible class held at one of the residences had a 100 per cent enrollment with a 100 per cent attendance at all but tnree meetings. The Miriam Bible Class, composed of business women, has completed fourteen consecutive years of Bible study. A total of 1.2+4 women and girls attended vesper services Sunday afternoons. Non-denominational Bible classes bad a total attendance of 5,000. Tuition fees in the department of general education had to be considerably raised, but In spite of this fact 749 stu dents were enrolled In classes, an Increase of sixty-five over 1919. Twentythree different subjects were taught during the year and two new lines of work, open forums and tutoring, were taken up. An employment bureau was added in September to the service work of the association, at which time housing was combined with this department. Although not a large number of girls were placed in positions because of the general employment situation, 003 were placed In comfortable, carefully investigated rooms. Comparative statistics regarding the cafeteria are as follows: In 1919, number of meals served, 147,185: net profit, $3,505; storeroom Invoice, S7OO. In 19-0, meals served. 184,000; net profit, $5,858; storeroom Invoice, $1,569. All meals to association clubs were served at cost. The program of the Girl Reserves proved to be the most popular form of activity at the colored center at 1202 North West street. Beginning with Sept. 1, there was only one secretary to carry on the work of idL center, so the fourteen clubs with 457 members had to be reduced to seven clubs with a membership of 375. These girls attended to the ■pecial needs of the patients In the colored ward of the city hospital, furnished programs for the children at the colored orphanage and mended and read for the old ladies at Alpha Home.
