GOOD WILL BOYS CLUB.
ITS GREAT SUCCESS DUE TO PERSONAL
INTEREST OF ITS WOMAN HELPERS

Miss Mary Hall was one of the most interesting
visitors at the Congress for Boys recently held in
this city. and was heard with close attention when
she spoke of the work OF the Good Will Boys Club
in Hartford.
This club IS one Of the most famous and success
full boys clubs in the United States While others
have risen and hourished for a season. and then
faded away. the Good Will has gone on year after
year until its early members are men who DO It
credit in the active walks OF life.
Miss Hall took up the work twenty-three years
ago. when 1t was laid down by brother who died.
He had been newspaper man. and had become in
terested in the newsboys Of Hartford. She began
with nine boys. and the work has been the absorb
ing occupation of her lifetime.
My helpers" said she. have been mostly
women, and can truthfully say that they have
been OF great strength OF character. Our
boys have gone out into universities and profess
sions. One OF them is manager OF one OF the
largest banks IN Hartford. and has been Acting
Mayor Of the city They all preserve their inter
est in the club and always ready to further its
interests Many OF them have unhesitatingly de-
clared that all they are in life they owe to the
club. When you ask what has been the secret
Of our success can only say that there Is nothing
10 It but personal influence. These women have
felt personal interest in individual boys.
They have invited them TO their homes. They have
reused their ambitions, and have helped them
financially when they struck out FOR the higher
education. To have such an influence. It is neces-
sary that the club worker should be Of the very

There is one thing on which / have felt strongly

been no mention of the teachers in public
