The GLOBE publishes in another
column notice prepared by the man
ayers of the Newsbnys' club, to the
effect that that organization is about to
open an employment agency, where
people i'll need of the services of boys
for either permanent or temporary
work can be supplied without charge,
and where working boys out of
positions can be helped to find
employment The Office of the
agency Will be the rooms of the club,
which will be open every day from II
to l. for receiving applications from
either side: and the managers will, in
addition. endeavor to respond to such
demands in this line as are made on
hem through the medium Of the mails.
The plan includes the assistance noe
only of boys who have no homes, and
who may he capable of only the simpler
GRADES of industry, but also of those
who arc fit for positions of responsibility
and Whose earnings will count materi-
ally towards the support of their moth
ers and sisters, as well as of themselves.
