Mr. Emery, who has given the subject much
thought.

citizens, particularly our young men who
shonld know something about the political his
tory of our country. Nor A MEMBER.

The following letter was read in joint con
vention nv the Mavor.

A hearing on the communication was grant,
ed and Rev, Henry Blanchard was called up
on to address the convention. He said in sub
stance:
From many conversations with our citizens
l have found that there is an interest in the
condition of the boys of ouf city. I have con.
versed with many of our prominent citizens
and they feel that something ought to be done
to reach them. We are perfectly sure that
the rooms OF the Portland fraternity are net
large enough to accommodate those boys who
are in the streets. We all feel, therefore, that
in the city there is large number of boys
growing up who, VIII en- they become young
men, will form dangerous classes. "How shall
we reach these boys?" is the question. Our
public schools can not always reach them
The truant officer has told me that some of
the boys are living in places that can not be
called homes in any way-in out-houses and
on wharve6. The Fraternity have undertaken
to reach these boys and the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union have determined to open
their rooms at the Friendly Inn. Sometime
ago it seemed to me my duty to consider the
question and ask the school committee to con-
slider whether or not it was within their pro-
vince to act in The matter. In my Judgment
to open room which will be warmed, lighted
and superintended, into which we can put
books and papers, and games, would in itself
furnish an education. Our public schools are
not always designed to make professional men
6SON
do not attend the public schools out Of the
streets into any of these places, the being in
these rooms, the reading of books
and newspapers and the coming into
contact with men and women would give them
an education certainly desirable. The school
committee believe that it might legitimately
come within their scope to aid these boys. We
thought it advisable to open one of our public
schools in the evening, bnt there would be
difficulty in the lighting of the building and
the arrangement of seats. Col. Merrill who is
on the school committee favored plan for as.
sistance in this direction. He suggested the
ward rooms. The question will present itself
whether or not you will be willing to do this.
Then there is the matter of the colt, from
$500 to $500. You will remember that this
city is not doing anything in the way of
furnishing evening schools. He then referred
to those schools now in existence in Massa-
chusetts. Meanwhile, he continued, the Port
land Fraternity itself is furnishing education
to the young people at no cost to the city.
Year after year many young men are coming
up who are subject to temptations. II /
