join the clubs and I couldn't live
without mothers meeting. It gives
me something to think about when
am washing. I know where the chill
dren are when they are at a club, and
it gives them something to talk
about. They don't fight half as much
as they did. If they go to a settle
ment, nothing will keep them from
school"
The help given by the forward
movement is not so much in the ma
ture of charity as in giving hope and
impetus to the discouraged and OPP
portunity to all. DR.. Gray says that
every child should have an oppor-
tunity to meet it's obligations to So
ciety." It is impossible for the moth
ers, burdened and environed as they
are, to train their children properly.
Perhaps they lack the necessary
knowledge. The doctor found so

many homeless, rntaught, lawless
children on the West side, that he
persuaded two of them to live with
him for awhile, and induce others to
come and pass few hours in a nat
ural, boyish manner. He was so en-
couraged by their grateful response
that the house at 221 South Sanga-
mon street was secured, which has,
since that time, been the home of his
work, which he hopes will extend
indefinitely. He has been aided. both
by money and personal effort, by
many of the best-known people of
this city and the work has SO grown

has been practically secured on West

proposed to erect q fine set of build

The Daughters of the Revolution are

nominations may be held, the only
restriction being that no sect speak

The BAD BOY.

The bad boy climbs the cherry tree
And eats, and when he's done
Throws cherries at the birds and breaks
The limbs off just for fun;
He knocks the smaller boys around
And as you madly chase
Him down the street he Rollers:
"Ya-a-a-a!
And makes an ugly face.
The bad boy cuts the hammock ropes
And spoils the flower bed
And watches for a chance to push
The good boy from the shed;
The bad boy puts his thumb against
His nose and turns to sass
You when you ask him kindly not
To run across the grass.
The bad boy gets the smaller boys
To run away to swim.
And while they splash around their clothes
Are tied in knots by him;
He ducks them till they lose their breath,
And, while they try to dress,
He spatters them with mud. and thus
Is filed with happiness.
The bad boy likes to torture dogs,
He ties things to their tails.
And what you don't want fastened down
He hammers full of nails
He throws things at you when you pass,
And If you kindly stay
To give him good advice he calls
You names and runs away.
The bad boy breaks his mothers heart
And makes his father sad;
Sometimes he changes, but too oft
Keeps right on being bad;
And if he does turn out all right
And go the way he should
He gets three times the credit that
The boys gets who was good.

FORWARD MOVEMENT
A Philanthropic Enterprise of Truly
Universal Interest.
Its Purpose Is the Foundation of =
Well-Bnlanced Character i'm
Children who Have No
Real Home Life.

Especial Chicago letter.
n GREAT deal has been written
~ and said about the grand
work being done among the
foreign residents of the congested
districts of Chicago, but too much
can hardly be added in praise of the
Forward Movement" which, during
the last seven years, has been
Frightening and enlarging the
lives of the inhabitants of
crowded Nineteenth ward, the pop
ulation of which is largely American,
poor but respectable and unfortun-
ate, to which the saloon formerly of
fered the only social meeting place.
The scope of the work is such that
it's influence must gradually extend
all over the country. IF arrange
ments could be made for city chill
dren to go to the country in summer
and country children enjoy the ad-
vantages of city life in winter, the
benefit would be mutual. When our
churches all open every day in the
week, and and all, rich and poor
alike, can feel an equal right to enter
and enjoy the spiritual and social adj
vantages which must, in time, be pro-
vided, then the work of DIR. George
w. Gray and many others whose eff
forts are in unison will be more gen
orally understood and appreciated
During the vacation season the only
playground for the children of the
poorer classes is the street, and while
that furnishes the fresh air impos
sible to obtain in the one room occu.

against the beliefs Of any ether.
The church will be strictly non-sec-
tartan. It is believed that the spir-
itual side of the people to be bene-
flied is especially in need of develop
ment. The chapel win set back about
$50 feet, leaving a park in front for
the children. In one wing Of the
building it is planned to have an en-
tertainment hall, gymnasium, bowl
ing alley, baths, swimming pool, club
and class rooms and apartments for
industrial training for boys, and in
the other wing corresponding rooms
for girls. There are to be kinder
garten and many other necessary
apartments. The building is de-
signed to accommodate from 5000 to
10000 weekly in the various lines of
worE Dr. Gray said the other day
that he had planned little souvenirs
to be sold at one dollar each. He
lectured in a small Illinois town
the other Sunday, and at the close
of his address over so people came
up and gave their names and dollars,
requesting him to send souvenirs
when printed. He hopes to obtain
$4,000 in this manner.
A great feature of the work is the
summer house near Saugatuck, Mich.
A park of about 800 acres has been Sc
cured, with frontage on Lake Mich
igan. OF this 200 acres has been set
aside, which is to be divided into lots
for summer cottages, the rental of
which, it is expected, will furnish an
endowment fund sufficient for all ex-
penses. The management agrees with
Mr.. Armour, who once said: "No one
has right to foist upon society an in
stitution that will mortgage the fu-
ture for it's support" The settlement
and park are organized as Republic
of Self-Control." Their senate is com
posed of two members from each of the
boys clubs, and the house of two
Representatives from each of the girls
clubs; the president, DR.. Gray, hav-
ing the power to veto, which he has
never yet been called upon to exercise.
The children make their own laws, and
have courts in. which offenders are
| regularly tried and sentenced to make
good, either in money or labor, any
damage they may have done. A saw
| ings bank receives the pennies saved
| by the children. Regular attendance
at club entities them to merit marks,
a certain number of which pays for a
| weeks board at the park. Fathers are
| especially encouraged to attend the

settlement meetings. Here they see
their families in a new light, and learn
to take pride in the progress of their
children, who are perfectly at home in
the freedom of their surroundings.
Some method is always provided by
means of which destitute mothers and
children may go to the park without
expense, but it has been found to the
advantage of those who can do so to
charge small sums for board.
DR.. Gray personally paid for the
outing of several poor women last
sumk7er, and one day learned that
two of them had telephoned, order
ing a carriage for which they paid
three dollars, in order to enjoy a
ride around the country. They
could have paid their own way, either
in money or labor. At the Settle
ment it was found that gifts of free
clothing were making beggars of the
women.
Miss Dix, who has charge of that
department., called them together
and publicly explained this to them.
Now they all pay few cents or do
a little work around the house for
what they receive and are rather
proud to wear the garments, telling
each other what bargains they have
secured. The janitor service of the
building was paid for by this money
last winter, and the women had the
satisfaction of feeling that they were
not objects of charity" To encour-
age this same feeling of self-respect
small weekly sum will be charged
at the park. If child goes for two
weeks, on the first he is a visitor,
on the second he pays $1.5O, or works
not to exceed aK hours daily. En-
tertainment is provided for every
waking hour. The park movement
was largely brought about by a per-
ception that sending children to tents
in the suburbs made them too much
an object of public attention. They
were remarkab BILE for their poverty.
Occupants of carriages would drive
up to the camps and select nice-look-
ing children to drive with them, and
some were encouraged to sing and
dance, bel G paid in fruit or pennie :.
All this, while helpful in way, did
not give them the quiet and example
of home life, the pleasure of doing
for others without expectation Of
reward, which life at the park fur
nishes. This is intended to be strict
~ private and in accordance with
usage in that of the families Of more
fortunate children. The little ones
are often found ignorant of the sim-
plest of table customs, being accus-
toned to hare food by the piece
and carry it in their hands until
eaten.
The Forward Movement is divided
into social, civic, educational, recre-
alive and spiritual work Its pur-
pose is the foundation of = well-bal-
anced character.
