From the New York Tribune.
To encourage factory girls to enter do

ciety women, graduates of an uptown pri-
vate school. have furnished suite Of rooms
for model training and employed an In
structor In the art Of housework. The en-
terprise Is the most recent addition to the

for several years in the Fogg Memorial

the domestic training class, who are from
fourteen to sixteen years Of age, make q
sortie on the place with pals and brushes,
brooms, dustpans and cloths. and remove
every vestige of dirt that has accumulated
since the last lesson. Indeed. scrubbing
goes on with as much zest and vigor as If 1t

the crisp white muslin curtains are care
fully pinned up safe from the dangers Of
water and dust. the rugs are swept until
looker-on trembles for them, and they are

CHILDREN OF THE STREET.
The Average Newsboy is Well Fed and
Adequately Clothed.

From the New York Tribune.
Youthful Street Venders' was the topic
under discussion at the monthly conference
Of the Charity Organization Society yes
terday. E. F. Jenkins Of the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children gave
a general view Of present conditions OF
child peddlers, bootblacks and newsboys;
Charles Brace. president Of the Children's g
Aid Society. made a plea for the boys who
feel big enough to spend their own money!
and Francis H. Tabor told Of the amuse-
ments provided by the Boys Club at Ave
nue. A and 10th street.
Mr.. Jenkins said that much has been done
during the last twenty-five years to i'm
bers Of the community. The old-tirne ia
miliar cry that became a nuisance. PLEASE,
mister. gave me shine," is seldom heard
now. because bootbla cking has become an
placed in prominet positions, such as street
corners. ferries and railway stations, the
proprietor employing one or two boys at
weekly salaries. ranging from $50 to s8.
and even more munihcent wages Large
shoe stores, too. have their brigade Of boot
blacks who receive stated wage for their
services. Tony, who owns stands In all
parts Of this city. and who began his ca
reer with box. has. 1t 10 said, accumulated
a fortune. valued at from t6O, 600 to 500, 600,
during his residence Of about fifteen years
In this country.
AS a direct result Of the efforts Of tho
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children and the United Hebrew Charities,
child pedlers are seldom seen now When
one is discovered his case is looked into
without delay. 6yrians are about the only
girl venders left In tho city. They are en-
couraged to pursue their trade by purchas-
ers Of their so-called Oriental" wares who
are unaware that there are one or more
factories In New Jersey engaged In the
manufacture Of Oriental" goods. Certain
arrived syrians with basketfuls of goods
and send them through city and country.
The shopkeepers trust these strangers, who,
1t Is said. always return and pay their
debts. Proprietors OF such stores have re-
ceived warnings that girls under sixteen
must not be allowed to peddle. and that II
encouragement Is given to them the offend
ers will be brought into court.
There are great numbers Of newsboys,
the majority having homes and giving aid
to their families by their efforts. The av-
erage newsboy is a bright fellow, and plays
a shrewd game with the public. Az a rule
he does not suffer for tho necessities Of life,
housed. Unless this is so, his case - re-
ported to the children's society. That Or
ganization has broken up. to a large de-
gree. the selling of papers on the streets by
girls under sixteen years of age Mr.. Jen-
kins believed that little more can be done
thought that many more clubs should be
established, many more places provided
where boys may spend their evenings away
from the perils Of the street. Little boys
seldom appear on the street, except In
cases Of alarming extras" before the aft
newsboy should attend school more than he
does.

Degeneration Of schoolboyhood.
From the London Globe.

One Of the many societies which attend

for the abolition of corporal punishment in
the London board schools. II there IL any
result. It will be that the manners OF the
rising generation. which are already. non
existent, will become minus quantity. But
this 10 only part and parcel Of the same
tendency all over the country. Boys are
now coddled at many schools In the most
ridiculous fashion. and especially at the
private schools patronized by the nouveaux
riches. the aim and object Of school life
appears to be to inculcate softnsss. A few
years ago. second. or even third-class was
good enough for boys going back to school;
now the master Is not ashamed to meet his
young friends at the London terminus and
take them back In q special saloon, which,
with Its reserved label on the window II
no doubt an excellent advertisement for the
pedagOGue The old forms, which used to
be the time-honored seats at school. are
now superseded by padded armchairs. and
even moderate tagging Ia In most schools a
thing OF the past. This molly-coddling IL bad
training, even for the few boys who win 20
through life on velvet, but for those whose
destiny 1t will be to rough 1t In the colo
MES IL they fail in their examinations. II
means simple ruin. Boys characters are
built up at school: and II there slackness
and softness is the rule. It 10 little wonder
that 30 many fail when they have to face
the stern realities OF Life
