The New York Evening Post of last
Saturday contained this account of the
work, or of one phase of the work, now
being done by David Willard in New
York City. Mr.. Willard is a young man
of about 80 a native of Brattleboro, the
son of the late Henry c. Willard former
~ a well-known druggist here, and
grandson of the late Charles *. Field.
Ever since his graduation from college
he has devoted himself to work among
the boys of the New York sums.
When in Brattleboro on a visit last fall
Mr.. Willard said it had then become the
custom of the judges of the lower crimi-
nal courts to ask him about the cases
of many of the juvenile offenders, with
a view to learning whether they ought
to be sent up or given another chance.
The information he could give was valua-
BILE because he knew practically every
young tough in the city, his acquaintance
covering 1000 or 5000 such representatives
of the submerged TENTH 1t is out of
this experience that Mr. Wizards work
