 SO Father Knickerbocker has come to the conclusion that the way to make good citizens k to catch 'am while they're very young and start develop

Martin. state secre- tary of education for Massachusetts, and Dr. Luther II. Gullick, director of physical training in the New York schools. maintained the chief debt to be suitable and ample playgrounds and a better sanitary system in school buildings. conditions which were real ized long ago by the New York jUven- ile asylum and put into practice when that institution was removed from the city to Dobbs Ferry. where an admir- able system of cottage homes and grounds aggregating several hundred acres in extent for work and play have been productive of results which have attracted marked attention from char table and reform institutions all over the country. A Chicago student of re- form statistics has recently found that the average value to the community O. 6 per cent of the boys paroled Co that city from the state reformatory is $aUp per year each. at wages ranging from S2O 10 $10U per month, figures which nave strongly suggested to local aU- thorities the adyisability of saving the other % per cent by adequate preven- tive measures.
 New York has ever a warm welcome for the stranger within her gates. Hence when Charley Jackson of Bill ings. Montana. came to town about three weeks ago. with $300 in his pock
 et and a desire Co see what might be done with it. he was promptly taken iu hand and shown a few things which could not fail to interest however lit- tie they may have pleased him Be fore he left for home one day last week. he had accumulated the finest stock of experience that ever went west in a cattle train for lack of Pull man ticket Charley's first night was spent at a hotel which a friendly po- liceman referred him. where he awoke the next morning to find himself with out even the price of an early morning cocktail After kindly harboring him for three whole days in the hope that something might turn up. the manage mcnt suggested that he move-without baggage which they offered to retain until his bill was paid. Deeming it cs- sentiaI to cat even if it should be found necessary to walk back to Mon

At the end Of the eleventh hour he was re- warded with a ticket calling for S2.2o- The ticket lacked the appearance of a satisfying meal. however. so he parted with it to a kindhearted speculator for $I.5O. with which he made for a fam Ous east side hOstelry.

Jackson pulled his shoes off before going to bed that night, which accounted for his appearance the next morning at the office of a charity organization in the second best pair of a friendly tramp. Here he eXchang- ed a pedigree reaching all the way from New York to Montana and most of the way back to Adam for a lot of false hopes of employment. His next land ing was in a Front street office. where three days assiduous application net ted him an even $1.35.
