Excerpt from A Hand-Book of the History, Organization and Methods of Work: Of the Young Men's Christian Associations The demand for a course of study regarding the work of the Young Men's Christian Associations led to the preparation of an "Outline of Study" by the International Committee in 1881. During the next five years this passed through seven editions, each of which was revised and enlarged. In 1885 the opening of the Young Men's Christian Association Training School, at Springfield, Mass., occasioned an immediate demand for a text book covering the history, organization, and methods of Association work, upon some phases of which there was no printed information. No sooner was it proposed to undertake such a work than inquiries were made concerning it by several classes of young men, whose needs have been kept in mind in its preparation. 1. - Students in the Training School, and others who are not able to attend it but desire to prepare for the secretary-ship as best they may at home. 2. - Young men engaged in professional or business life, and students in colleges, who are investigating the work with a view to entering it. 3. - Men already engaged in the work who have had little or no opportunity for systematic preparation, but who are eagerly seeking it.
