Just before noon all the dele gates assemble to listen to inspiring and helpful 'address from such prominent mr n as Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, and John R, Mott, LL. D„ of New York. The after noons are devoted wholly to health ful recreations as baseball, track, swimming, tennis, canoeing, fish ing and hiking patties through the mountains.
