BUNGALOW FOR SIX

when William JenreyS six boys move into the big bungalow their fatharis building for them near his own home at Berkeley Heights, N. l., they hope to have President Roose. welt among those present at the house warming. Mir Jeffrey has written to the president asking him to come to Berkeley Heights and give his boys and the other boys of the neighbor- hood a talk on right living and the duties of citizenship.
 The bungalow in which the boys ore to live and conduct a sort of min iature social system of their own will not be ready before the first of next month.
 Whether the president accepts the invitation or not, the boys will not lack for advice and good counsel when they get into tbeir new home ! Ebert Hubbard, Bolton Hall, J. G. Phelps Stokes and score of more or less distinguished thinkers have al ready promised to come out and talk 1 to them All the other boys living on top of the Watching mountains have been invited to these little lec- lures, and Mir. Jeffrey believes that ne has hit upon a plan that will solve I 1 good citizens, as well as benefitfng the entire communifygfl ga buh
 T think the. bungs1dw1 is going to prove long step forward fny the ef- fort to solve the boy problem" said MT. Jeffrey. -As soon as the building Is finished I am going to turn it over to my sons absolutely. It will be taeir property. to do with as they | N@- n they must keep it in order, necessary litter incidental to boyish work and play always excepted. l Shall be the inspector to enforce this rule, and my visits will not be at any stated times, but always. unexpectedly. so that there shall be no special cleaning up when they think am coming to look | them over.
 What I am striving soris to teach my boys and help them, to teach them selves, their responsibilities to each other and their proper relations with Mother Earth. They willshaye upon themseves the burden of dsciplining one another and wiilI be taught to study human nature and the elements fof social order. The older ones ai- iready know some thing of farming
 
 4 have their own workshop and play room and can develop their special
 bents unfettered If any one Of them
 shows a mean streak you may be pret-
 ty sure his brothers will knock 1t out
 of him.
 In the bungalow each boy will have a locker in which to keep his own
 rods, guns, tools and toys. For sleep
 ing purposes there will be three two
 storied movable hunks. The boys
 wanted them movable so that when
 they got tired of having them in one : place they could move them to an other. and their father thought it was
 good idea, as they can draw their ! beds close to the big central stove lads are not to be encouraged to De molIycodGles, and will be expected to : molycoddes, and will be expected to
 do without fire as long as they can stand it and to have more than one window open even on the coldest win er nights.
 To say that the boys take to the
 new idea Enthusiastically is putting II mildly. They are already matching
 all kinds of plans to be put into ef, feet when the bungalow is finished. . William, Jr-, and Charles, the two oldest, have some sort of scheme that involves the use of long piece oi l. two inch iron ps.,e that they have beg
 ged their father for. He suspects 8
 trapeze CT horizontal bar, but he
 doesn't care what they do with it. HS
 has taken especial pains. to have ex tra strong ceiling beams put in and
 plenty of headroom, so they can build a gymnasium if they want to. All of | the housework in the bungalow will be done by the boys-sweeping. mak- ing beds and cutting the wood for the stove For the present, however,
 they will depend upon their parents
 for their means and the electric bell connected with the big house is not
 expected to be needed. to tell them
