Excerpt from Studies in Association Work: History, Principles, Business Management Believing that the greatest problem of the Young Men's Christian Association is that of trained leadership, volunteer and secretarial, representatives of the International Committee and of the two Training Schools of the North American Young Men's Christian Associations have held conferences on the subject resulting in several conclusions and in cooperative effort. Among the conclusions agreed upon are: 1. That the best training for the secretaryship is a full course in one of the Training Schools, supplemented, either before or after, by experience as an assistant in a thoroughly modern and well administered local Association. 2. That since assistants and committee members of the local Associations supply the larger proportion of men for the secretaryship, most of whom enter upon their secretarial responsibilities without additional training and without a systematic study of the Association work beyond their local experience, therefore, some provision should be made for broadening, deepening and standardizing the training afforded such assistants and committee members. 3. That it is as important to discover and test good men for the secretaryship as to train them, that the place for such discovery and testing is in the local Associations - city, railroad, student - and that, therefore, the local secretary holds the key to the situation.
