Problem of Providing Secretaries HcrloMM One, Sayn Per feoniK'l Head The course in Y. M. C. A. science and methods which is offered at Willamette University la some thing unliue. and is attracting the attention of Y. M. C. A. education al men throughout the country, de clared Owen D. Pence, national personnel secretary of the Y. M. C. A. who visited in Salem for a few hours yesterday. The courses referred to by Mr. Pence have been part of the Wil lamette curriculum for the past six years, being taught during that time by C. A. Kells, secretary of the local Y. . Mr. Pence has been visiting the summer schools of the Y. M. C. A. In the west, coming to Salem from Pacific Palisades, California, and Uavinr yesterday for Seabeck. Wmhlti7lnn tn attend the Rfhnol there. The work over which Mr. Pence has supervision has to do with the training of men for Y. M. C. A secretarial positions, and because f that he ia psneeiallv interested in the work being done here. which has helped to train a num ber of outstanding men in the Y work. There are about 5200 secretar ies in the Y. M. C. A. work at pres ent, he said, with between 600 and 650 new men going into the work each year. In order that these men may have a specific training for their work, the na tional organization lias been mak ing a study of the opportunities offered them, and is trying to uni fy these methods. At present there are nine sum mer 'schools for the training of new Y.,,M. C. A. men being con ducted throughout the. country. with about 1200 men enrolled in them. These schools offer two weeks courses In Y. M. C. A. me thods. Until recently each school has been conducted separately, but now; they are tinder the per sonal supervision of the national organization. The use of adjacent colleges to train YJ M. C. A. leaders, both secretarial and lay, is the most important method of training be ing used! and is the field in which Ialem has been pioneering. A somewhat similar plan is be ing worked out fn Seattle, where new secretaries will be given posi tions allowing them to spend some time in University of Washington classes, in special sociological courses pertaining to their work, Mr.v Pence declared.
