apt be visited severely upon the delinquent while
transgressions Of greater magnitude often com

HARD TO INTEREST
From this schedule it will be seen that the pri-
vate school boy is pretty busy. But. in addition to
that. II is difficult to interest him than any
other boy. 1t is harder break the ice harder
to command his attention. harder to become his
friend This is not from any snobblshness on his
part. | firmly believe that the natural boy left to
himself has snobbishness. If he develops it, it
is from association with the older members of his
own class. But the simple fact is that he has
so much in his own life that n stranger must have
peculiar qualifications in order to command his in
terest.

greatest of American universities did good deal
of church and club work among the boys of the
better middle class OF the town. | found them
eager to know me. Why? Because l lived on the
campus, and knew the members of the college

a very natural thing among boys. But with

RICH BOYS AND ETHICS
CLUB OF MILLIONAIRES' SONS AND
IT'S OBJECT

In the Congress for Boys held recently in this
city in which workers among boys we're gathered
from all over the United States. the rich boy was
mentioned only once This when one man
asked If ANYTHING had been done to interest the
sons Of the rich in the of the poor. There
was no response, and the subject was not again
opened.
And yet" said a clergyman associated With one
Of the largest richest and most fashionable
churches in New-York to a Tribune representative
land yet it seems that for the sake of both
the rich and the poor that is n theme of prime
Importance. All over the civilized world there is
a concerted movement among people who study
such things for the solution Of the boy problem
But It Is entirely in behalf OF the poor boy. No
body seems to mind anything about the rich boy
And yet in few years. the rich boy is going 10
he the employer OF the poor boy The poor boy. In
maturity is going TO be atom in the working
world The rich boy is going to be power few
poor boys may rise out of their environment and a
few rich boys may sink out OF theirs. But the vast
mass Of each will remain in the position which the
circumstances OF their lives have marked out Tor
them. When once they mature not much can
be done TO change their character 1t Is moulded
and cooled in the mould. You can interest boys in
each other in a way that You cannot men. II the
friends OF the poor boy want the next generation
Of rich men TO feel more responsibility over lnauS-
trial conditions than their fathers have why don
they try to catch the rich boy Whle ne IS young
and interest him?
There are about thirty-hye hundred such boys in
New-York" he continued. taking as basis the
pupils Of the thirty private schools for boys In
the city. That does not seem a large number. but
YOU must remember that the families OF the rich
are small. that am not counting boys undor eight
or over sixteen, and that in some uptown districts
where the social atmosphere in the public schools
Is good boys will be found I'm the upper grades
who come from families Of fully as high standing
as some Of those in private schools Generally
speaking however. these thirty-hve hundred or so
boys I'm the private schools are the sons Of million
aires who arc going to inherit great power IN the
shape OF wealth and position In the financial and
social world II you convert such boy 10 altruisn
you secure the benefit, not Of Individual but OF
