Negro Youth and the Educational Program of the Y.M.C.A.

For ninety-six years the Young Men's Christian Association has promoted a youth program. The outstanding characteristic of this program has been its adaptability. When the Association was organized in the early part of the nineteenth century it was recognized that an important need of young men in the rapidly growing urban centers of England and America was for a medium through which they might get the strength which comes from association to help them continue their religious life amidst the distracting and unChristian influences which surrounded them. Just how real was this need is clearly indicated by the rapid growth of the Movement. Founded by twelve young clerks of drapers' establishments in London in 1844, these associations spread rapidly over England and just eight years later the first Y.M.C.A.s were organized in the United States. What is probably more remarkable is the fact that it was only nine years after the founding of the Y.M.C.A. in London, England, that the first Y.M.C.A. to serve Negro men and boys was organized by Negroes in Washington, D.C.' The principal emphasis in the program of the Y.M.C.A. during these early years was very definitely on evangelism. It had no other purpose than to serve the religious life of young

Negro Youth and the Educational Program of the Y.W.C.A.

The purpose of most Young Women's Christian Associations as stated in the national constitution is: To build a of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. In this endeavor we seek to understand Jesus, to share His love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. A major fulfilling of this purpose comes in the developing of a program' based upon the needs and interests of girls and young women and diverse groups within its constituency; the developing of such selfconscious groups as the needs of the time require; the helping to interpret the various groups of the constituency to each other and the working toward the goal of integration of diverse elements into one fellowship or association. Negro girls and young women are an accepted part2 of this constituency. From the beginning of the century when the Y.W.C.A. was pioneering in interracial work to the present time there has been the idea of 'together-

Working-Class Conditions in Bombay

A SOMEWHAT lurid light is thrown upon the effect of industrialism and its attendant conditions on the ‘working classes’ of Bombay by an analysis of certain statistics published by Dr. G. S. Ghurye and S. R. Despande in the Indian Journal of Economics for October. The statistics were collected by the Bombay Labour Office in co-operation with the Young Women's Christian Association with reference to infant mortality. The number of individuals from whom the particulars were compiled was 2053. The subjects of the inquiry were mainly of agricultural class origin, and mostly from the Konkan. After migration to the city they had usually kept in touch with their place of origin and visited it at least once a year. Their wages are low; they are permanently in debt; and ninety-seven per cent of them live in one-room tenements which are dark and ill-ventilated. The factory hours for mothers range from eight to ten a day. The age-range of the women workers under consideration is 15-45 years and above, the highest percentage, 23-8, lying in the age-group 21-25 years, the next, 22-8 per cent, being in the group 26-30 years. The drop in numbers above twenty-five years of age, which becomes very marked above the age of thirty years, falling to 11-3 per cent, is generally due to the return of the women workers to their place of origin, permanently incapacitated by illness.

A Technique for the Construction of a Teacher-Training Curriculum

To secure data for an analysis of the duties of teachers in the public schools, one may go to several sources: teachers' diaries, observers' reports, professional literature, and teachers' memory lists. If teachers' diaries could be extensive enough to include everything that teachers do, it is obvious that they would furnish the most comprehensive list of duties that could be obtained from any source. Practically, however, they do not yield this material in full, because no teacher is able to write down in a series every thing that he does in and outside the classroom. As a matter of fact, if he tried to do this, he would be writing constantly and would have no time left for doing things about which to write. At best, the diary gives only the outstanding activities that the teacher performs from hour to hour. In a study of homemakers' duties we found, for instance, that over a period of seven days the diaries kept by homemakers provided an average list of 250 duties, some of which were duplicates. It is apparent that this would not be a complete list of the tasks performed by the homemaker. Completeness of report through the diary is safeguarded chiefly by securing such a large number of diaries that the duties missed by one diarist will be caught by another. Even by the use of this precaution we cannot be certain that a complete list of duties will be secured, but we do know that it grows increasingly complete in proportion to the number of diaries used. In some ways there is considerable advantage in having an observer make a list of duties performed by a second person rather than to have the latter keep his own diary. The observer can give a more accurate report, provided the person being studied will give explanations of what he is thinking about in those moments when the observer cannot infer his mental processes from his physical activities. The use of observers is more effective than the use of diarists because of the fact that two people are working on the job of reporting instead of one. In this way the teacher can go on with his regular duties, and the observer as a second person can write them down. In our use of the observer with executive secretaries of the Young Men's Christian Association in Chicago, we have 176
