FOUNDER GEORGE
TELLS OF REPUBLIC
Describes the Work and the
Results Obtained at
Freeville
THINKS It SOLUTION OF PROBL(M

SIN. .... PANCOAST., .... =, ..........
Those persons who heard tho address Of
William r. George I'm the New-Contury
Club building last night enjoyed treat.
Mr. George IS the founder OF the George
Junior Republic Of Freeville. N. Y..and he
told OF the work being done there and cts
result.
Mr.. George was a member OF the New
York police commission ON which Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt served and az that time
became interested IN the children Of the
slums. He purchased a farm just outside
New York and took several youngsters
out there for the summer. He let them
govern themselves under his instruction
and he was amazed and delighted with
the experiment.
He then purchased a tract Of land near
Freeville and called It the George Junior
Republic. He took number of children
there TO remain until they were Of age
and to teach them a better understanding
Of the laws OF their country and 70 be-
come good citizens. Some are sent out
there by the courts others by guardians
and still others are picked up in the
streets. There now are about 900 In the
settlement.
Mr.. Georges idea IS TO make the chill
dren citizens az once and not to wait until
they are OF age. The motto Of the village
IS Nothing without Labor" Everyone
must give the equivalent IN labor for the
benefits derived. They have their own
currency. which is OF aluminium and Of
denominations the same as that Of the
United States. They work for stipulated
sum and what is saved above their ex-
penses IS taken care Of for them and
when they are Of age the amount IS
glvea to them in genuine money which
gives them a good stant in life.
In the village there are hotels private
houses, schools. church. library, shops.
stores, court and Jail. The children
operate all of them.
Each ones talents are carefully watch
ed and are directed accordingly. All the
buildings in the republic have been con-
structed by those living there.
Mr.. George thinks this IS the solution
Of the sociological problem and is very
enthusiastic over his work No girl under
Il years and no boys under Il years OF
age is admitted to the republic
A like republic has been established In
the South near Washington and one IN
Minnesota.

PENNSY MAY CHANCE
COLORS ON SIGNALS
May Use Yellow and Black
Instead of Red and
Green

The Pennsylvania railroad officials
are considering the question of chang
ing the colors on the Semaphore blades
or arms of the automatic signal service
along the lines Of the entire system.
The present colors are red and green,
the red denoting the home or danger
signal and the green the distance sig
nal. The new colors under considera-
tion are yellow and black, the same as
are in use on the Western lines. While
no official orders to make the change
have been given the substitution of the
yellow and black for the red. and green
has practically been determined upon.
The purpose of the change, according
to an official of the company is that
the yellow and black are more easily
distinguishable than the red and green,
especially the latter, which is apt to ap-
proximate to nearly the color Of the
surrounding foliage at this season of
the year. There viii be no change in
the color Of the signal lights, which
vii lremain red and green as at pres
ent.
