OUTDOOR TRAINING FOR BOYS
Praise Accorded the Methods of the
Junior Republic,

A large number of Washington people
are interested in the National Junior Re
public at Annapolis Junction, Nd. which
Is largely maintained by the support OK
tended by Washington charitable socie-
ties. These people found much instruc-
tion in the address on the subject OF the
Junior Republic delivered at the Unitarian
Church yesterday afternoon by DR.. John
Graham Brooks. of Harvard University.
DR.. Brooks observations were based
upon his knowledge of the George Junior
Republic at Freeville, n. Y. This COM
monwealth of Juveniles was the first of
the Kind ever organized and was founded
a number of years ago by William
George, of New. York City. The National
Junior Republic at Annapolis Junction is
operated on similar lines. DIR. w. o. At
water. of Wesleyan University. and the
Rev. Samuel j. Burrows. of New York,
also spoke briefly. and citizens of the Ma
tional Junior Republic took up an offer
ing for the support of that institution.
DIR. Brooks address dealt with the
principles rather than the daily work of
the Junior Republic. He expressed him
self as a thorough advocate of the idea
of industrial education for the class of
children and boys who receive the benefit
of such an organization as this
He said that the Junior Republic fol-
lowed the principle Of self-government
which would eventually be applied to the
government OF public enterprises general
ly ami especially those OF a phiIan-
thropic and charitable nature. In the
Junior Republic the transgressor DIR.
Brooks explained, was punished fully as
much by the realization that his asso-
ciates disapproved OF his violation of the
law as by the infiiction of the sentence
The new method, he declared was the
outgrowth of the idea that there was
something good in every boy, and that
kindness and instruction were necessary
to bring out the good points.
DIR. Brooks referred to the teachings In
the colored schools of the South, where
the negro boys were given the mnst prac-
teal Industrial education instead of an
effort being made to cram their minds
with the studies prescribed by orthodox
educational methods. Teach the boy
that the soil is as full Of life as he Is
himself and that the filling of 1t is as
full OF dignity as the study of astron-
omy." was the advice given by the
speaker.

born for. 1t is not what he is born, but
what he is born into. 1t is not natural to
sin. When a man finds his true self he
finds the light of God. The normal light
is a good light, the light of love.
You have to believe in the divine soul
If you want help. Seek till you find it.
That is the limit of our duty here, be-
cause it is the limit of our power.
Il may be speaking to a man who is
wavering in his faith. who doubts historic
creed. historic Bible, historic church.
The business of the creed. of the church.
of the Bible is not to be looked at; it is
to be looked through, that you may see
God. There is not a moment that the
Bible has not spoken to you of God. You
can wait for a while. until the use of
these instruments comes back to you and
you can see God"
