DO banished from the country. We know
OF a number Of promising boys who have
been sent East to remain because there
were no avenues opened here to honora.

There never was more blind and brutal

boys to one or two here and there, among

II these boys are to be saved, this cru.
sade against them must be stopped. The
ucorrigble hoodlums may bring up
in the penitentiary. But the hostility
which makes boys DRIFT in that direction
Is thing not only to be deplored, but to

We cannot kill of the present generation

Danish them from the country. There
Is NO place In the world where
they ought to be worth as much
as here. The employer who turns a
boy away with the excuse that he
is limited to the employment of two or
three, aud cannot employ any more by the
rule Of some league or organization, has
enlisted in war against the boys OF this
