night ln the Unitarian Church, which
was filed to the doors. The spe aker
OF the evening was Jacob A. Rlls, Of
New York, whols well known as d
lecturer, writer and charity worker.
Mr.. Rlis presented graphic de :
scriptiou Of child life IN The slums OF
New York n ar interesting lecture
entitled "Tony's Hardships.' His
address dealt not only with the sur.
face conditions Of the children OF the
sums of New York, but with the
underlying conditions leading up 10
their development into fulfilled gcd
criminals, and how to remedy these
conditions.
Mr.. Riis said that the corruption
OF municipalities Is one Of the causes
ofthe juvenile offender, and that the
illegal liquor traffic is another. lie
dwelt upon the lack OF privileges
granted the boy in the city, which
resulted in habitual enmity toward
the police, who always chased the
boy off the streets or lois when never
he started to play one Of his games.
Play being absolutely essential to
Child life, as soon as 1t was denied
him he began TO make trouble Tor
those around him.
Mr., Riis endeavOred to impress
upon the mem bers Of the Associated
Charities tnat crime is not hered!'
tary. This bugbear, he sad, should
be gotten rid Of, and added that
surroundings were responsible for
the making of offenders.
The speaker recommended better
schools as Il remedy for The evil ell
fects of sIum life.
He was not surprised. he said, that
there were so many truants when
the character Of SONS schools was
taken into consideration.
lie suggested the boys clubs as
another remedy. These, said the
speaker are thous and times better
than polIccmen's clubs. He paid a
tribute TO the Fresh Air Fund.
