The Danish-American Youth Convention was visited by more than 500 delegates; the meetings had to be held in a big tent on the corner of Washtenaw and Potomac Ave. The meeting opened Saturday, Sept. 1, with a song written by Rev. Adam Dan and a short introductory talk by Rev. K. Gjorup. In the afternoon Ivar Kirkegaard from Racine spoke about the Danish-American movement, and Mr. Lauritzen spoke for both Denmark and America.

During Sunday morning the delegates saw a little of the town. In the evening, between two and three thousand persons were gathered in the tent. There was singing by several Danish singing societies from Chicago, and a fine lecture about modern youth by Professor Nordentoft of the theological school in Des Moines. Ice cream was served by young Danish girls in Japanese dresses.

The business meeting was held on Monday, with a view to re-organizing the Danish-American Association into one of national scope, so as to assist "new-comers" from Denmark in their adjustments to American manners and customs. The convention closed Monday night with a festival on an island in Humboldt Park with a speech by Rev. Nelleman of Manistee, Mich., and ice cream served by Danmarks Dotre og Dagmar Lodge.
