talk by young Whitcomb, in which the
street boys were advised against row.

applause and also listened attentively
to the kindly words of Mrs. Whit
comb.
Became Mission Sunday School.
From this meeting came 1.-THE Ce-
dar Street Mission Sunday School,"
which fourished for number of years
during the winter months, with an at
tendance of about sixty boys. Mrs.
H. G. Burbank was the first superin-
tendent, and young Whitcomb, who had
originated the Sunday school plan,
acted as her assistant Among the
teachers actively engaged at the mis-
sion were Mrs Charles T. Corning,
Misses Isabel and Marion Ingersoll,
Miss Mamie Drake, Miss Grace John
ston, Louis Mann and others.
Charles Corning took an active part
in this work and was the reliance of
the superintendent and teachers In
matters of discipline in the school and
maintenance of the work. The boys
called him the ''rusher," or ''bouncer,"
both titles being descriptive of the
nature of his principal duties. The
pupils were, for the most part, homeless,
neglected lads. who had little concep-
ton of what the mission folks were do
ing for them. One class, in reply to a
teachers question as to why they came
to Sunday school replied: Fer a holy
picnic"
Soon after the organization of the
mission, Miss Grace Johnston started
Wednesday evening club, consisting at
first of the members of her class. She
entertained the boys with games,
books, music and refreshments at her
home and gradually increased the mem
bership of the club, inviting all in
corrigible boys whom she heard of to
become members. The club attracted a
good deal of interest and the boys were
entertained by prominent people during
the year.
A "Newsboys' club room" was open
ed at 20 East Seventh street Jam IT,
1887. Charles Corning, who had taken
great interest in Miss Johnstons ex-
pertinent, betrayed the expense Of fur
nishing the rooms and paid the salary
of the superintendent for the first six
months. E. w. Peet and w. H. How
ard aided him in carrying on the finan-
cial part of the work. Through the
efforts of J. G. Pyle larger quarters
were obtained for the club in the base
ment of the Chamber of Commerce
building and public subscriptions were
raised for its support.
Newsboys' Home Established.
Shortly before his death Mr. Corning
purchased house at the corner Of
Eleventh and Robert streets in 1887 and
established a newshoys' home Home

ter earnestly into the work, and dur
ing the first year seven hundred chill
dren were looked after. At first the
officers gave most Of their attention to
the boys of the city, but in 1897 Seer
tary Wellington, seeing the need of
friend and advisersfor girls and young
women brought into court, began to
give aid and counsel to all who could
be induced to accept his services. Since
that time he has continued, he says, to
have minute knowledge of all cases OF
female minors brought into court, and
has also taken upfaa work outside
among the girls, where there are cases
of waywardness or some degree of mis-
direction at home or in school.

An organization which seeks for the
moral uplift of society in the initial
stage of human eXistence-childhoo
which has for its purpose the be-
friending of the neWSboyS and the
street waits, the rescue of children in
danger of becoming criminals, the
watching of the Maynard boys and
girls of the city, and the visiting Of
jails and correction institutions for the
purpose of befriending the minor in

Child Saving and Prison association.
st. Paul has many charitable organi-
cations, which work in every field and
carry good cheer into thousands of
homes but there probably is no charity
which is doing more for the city than
this one, which has as its one great
purpose the saving of the children. 1t
is unique organization, inaSmuch as
its sole purpose is to effect the moral
saving of the youth, and in the appli-
cation Of this idea it seeks to consider
every lack or excess in a child's life a
subject for its efforts to restore, pre-
and the community may be made safe
and wholesome.
Since its organization, seven years
ago, many hundreds of boys and girls
have been rescued from the path lead
ing to prison doors from a life of way

right direction and given the impetus
to become good and honorable men and
women. The work has been thoroughly
systematized and is conducted along
the most approved lines in the super
vision of street boys, looking after
truants from school. and juvenile Of
tenders brought before the municipal
court.
Work Was Begun by Boy.
The association is the outgrowth of
child-saving work which commenced
in 1882, through the efforts of a young
boy, Frank G. Whitcomb. The lad
lived with his mother, on Cedar street
near where a large company of gamins
were accustomed to gather on Sunday
afternoons. Fighting, swearing and
making all kinds of noises, they be-
came very Objectionable to the resi-
dents of the section and complaints
were made against them. Young Whit
comb noted the unsuccessful efforts OF
the police to quiet the unruly waits
day after day, and finally hit upon q
scheme of his own.
One Sunday, when they were more
noisy than ever and fights more fire.
quent, the boy went out among the
crowd and invited them all into his
mothers kitchen, where he promised
them something good to eat, as well as
other entertainment. Although some
of the waits scoffed at Whitcomb,s
Sunday clothes and threw mud at his
white waist, majority of them quickly
accepted his invitation and filed into
the kitchen on the run. Mrs. Whitcomh
was thoroughly in sympathy with bel
Mons plan, and she had prepared sup
