JUNIOR DEPARTMENT OF THE
YIN. C. Az
We desire to call the special attention of
the parents of Staunton, and of all who are
interested in the welfare of the boys of our
city, to the above society. Asthe name in
xl;oa4oc tl,o Junio1. Tam ic On &c
ISOLATION within the large association and
this organization is now just being made,
There are ffty-seven boys at present mem
bers Of the Association under Is years of
age. These boys are allowed in the build
ing only at certain hours and in the gym
nasium at certain hour, and are thus to
some extent separated from the young men
and older members. But it is believed
that by the organization of a separate de-
partment among the boys they can be much
more benefited than in any other way.
The Committee oE Boys Work, Messrs.
Guy Cochran, 7. K. Wosdhouse and Cary
Hardy, who have control of ali matters in
THE Association pertaining to boys are
earnestly asking the sympathy and eo-ope-
ration Of the parents. and especially of
those who have boys already in the Associa-
ton, or those who intend to enter their
boys.
The Junior Department governs and
manages its own affairs without the direct
Interference of the parent association. but
is placed directly under the control of the
Committee on Boys Work, and nothing
important can be done without the kneyl.
edge and approval Of this committee The
department has it's President, Vice Presi.
dent, Secretary, and other officers and com.
mittees taken from among the boys. has its
own constitution and bylaws, and is entirely
distinct from the Association, OF rather it is
one part-a department OF the Association.
1t will have it's regular business meetings
at stated times, and will also hold a SUNDAY
afternoon religious meeting to which only
boys under 16 will be admitted. and it will
also have a reading room. game room, etc.,
in separate part OF the building.
The Board of the Association believes
that by placing this responsi Utility upon the
boys they will be made to feel a greater in.
terest and to take pride in the department
and it's success, more than they would with.
out this organization of their own. We
should remember that the boys now. will
soon be the men, and it is therefore all i'm.
of men they will be.
