BOYS ON A FARM.
A Colony scheme to Humnnize waifs

(from the New York Times

(From the New York Times.)
Stereopticon views illustrating how
twenty-eight boys taken from the s,ums
of New York city conduct a governm ent
of their own on farm at Gardner Ul-
ster County this State, were disp,ayed
last night III the Calvary Baptist eau ch
in West Fifty-seventh Street. The coca
sion was the second annual meeting of
the Industrial Colony Association, which
was organized to help poor boys who are
growing up amid vice and depressing in
fiuences.
On the associations specially equipped
farm city boys of the rougher class who
are willing to try total change of en-
vironment and submit to a certain degre
of wholesome discipline are accepted as
boy citizens. A boy government has been
established in the form of miniature
county. The citizens, who are between
the ages of twelve and fifteen years.
make their own laws and enforce them
through officers chosen from their own
number Each boy is required to work
and be self-supporting. He is at liberty
the first of each week to contract for
any one of several different kinds of work
for that week. With the colony money.
in which he is paid he purchases meals.
lodgings. and clothing. An industrious
boy can. easily earn enough money to
leave him small weekly surplus af er
paying his necessary expenses.
The laws of this boy-government are
administered in fairness and are SER
iously obeyed Violations are punishable
by fine or Imprisonment in the colony iail
There are boy supervisors. boy policemen,
and boy sheriff. Wherever a boy on this
farm becomes too lazy to work he is
classed as pauper, and Is cared for by
the sheriff, who is also the oyerseer of
the poor. The disgrace of pauperism and
Its attendant discomforts speedily puts
an end to idling and causes the boys to
become industrious and thrifty. They de-
post their savings in the colony bank,
which pays interest When they leave the
colony the money is redeemed in legal
currency The fact that the bows enforce
their own laws imparts a peculiar zest
and spirit to the administration of this
unique county. government
In exhibiting the pictures last night
Fredic 7 Steele. secretary of the associa
tion described the methods of procedure
and told incidents of the everyday life
of the boy-citizens. He said that one of
the best citizens in the colony now was a
boy who was taken from the west side of
the city about one year ago with the rep
utation OF being fncorrigible. His parents
were Obliged to send him away from home
because he had the habit of stealing
everything that came within reach Now
he Is described as a self-respecting and
trustworthy lad with an earnest purpose
in life
The report of the treasurer or this asso-
ciation showed that the total receipts of
the farm colony last year were S3,l17.y, a
slight excess over the expenditures.
In addressing the meeting last night ex-
Police Commissioner Frank Moss said
that it would not do. to expend all of ones
