 METHODIST CHURCH
CENTRAL JUVENILE PRoTEcToRY ASSOCIATION WILL BE SUBJECT
 UNDER DIscussIoN-THE REV. CRAWFORD JACKSON TO SPEAK.

The Rev. Crawford Jackson of Atlanta. ehairman and leader of the Central Ju- i Venile Protectory association, with the as- sistance of several local men. who are interested In the movement. has arranged Tor mass meeting to be held in the First Methodist church next Sunday even- ing at o'clock
 At this meeting he will present the his- tory and the plans of what has been done and what is being done in the south for the protection, prevention and reclama- ton or the wayward youth from the im- moral life. The new movement will be duly agitated, and this together with the work being done at the Boys Industrial school at East Lake, is expected to incite much interest and enthusiasm The pas tors of all of the Birmingham churches are asked to announce the meeting at the Il o'clock service at their respective churches on Sunday morning and to urge a full attendance
 suitable bodies of land will be purchased Tor agricultural and other purposes. and the proper buildings will be erected there on The present aim is to erect ten pro- tectories or homes, to accommodate leo inmates each. which will call for an ex- penditure of about s50O,0OO.
 The object of the protectory is to correct and give the proper training to delinquent and dependent children of both sexes and races. All of tha tao aFt are to be given mental, moral and in- oustrial training, spending half of each school day in the school room and the other half at work In the field or work shop' with some time each day for recrea- ton. Religious services will be conducted on non-sectarian basis at least as often as two services on Sunday.
 The matter has been. taken up all over the country. and is meeting with general success. Nationally prominent ministers and educators have spoken most favorably for the project President Roosevelt. in discussing 1t, spoke as follows;
 About all I can say to you is to ex- press my very hearty sympathy with and pehei Tn your purpose. The chance of sue cess lies With the boy and not with the man. That applies peculiarly to those boys who tend to drift off in to courses which mean that unless they are checked they will be formidable additons to the crimi- nal population when they grow older. II Is eminently worth while to try to pre- vent those boys becoming criminals, to try and prevent their being menaces to and expenses and sores in society. while there is a chance of reforming them"
