churches and neighborhood houses dis tributed about town.
 One of these classes resulted in un- looked for good. It was >held in a certain neighborhood infested by a gang of young crooks who literally lived by burglary and worse. One night several members of the gang appeared and stood about watching. On a succeeding occasion three of them returned and asked.to be allowed to join They were given permission to do so upon condition of good behav- for That was the beginning of a different life for all three, but one in particular proved remarkable and later asked permission to organize a gym nasium class This was given and he culled from his former pals good sized class. 1t
 Some of the experiences of the Big Brothers are not only strange but un- pleasant. One Big Brother was met at the cavernous door of an inside tene- ment by an irate woman with tub of dirty studs which she threatened to use. He had to use the utmost diplo- macy to persuade her that he was in reality upop d friendly visit. Often members are taken for officers. but they usually win out through the mothers. The boys themselves are hard to know and usually several vis- it's to the home are necessary.
 The Big Brothers movement is really an effort to take the responsibility of the boys from shoulders which are not able to carry it and lay it upon others who are better fitted to assume it. 1t is recognition of the fact that the com munity is primarily one body, no member of which can afford that another member should be lost through lack of q chance. As a result, sullen and embittered children chafing under restraint are becoming a thing of the past. Now the citv's bad" boys re- turning from reformatory in the country such as the Children's Village of the New York Juvenile Asylum. where they have room to stretch their bodies in healthful outdoor play bring back to the city large measure of health and no little knowledge. Also the time of the boys discharge is known to the Big Brother who is es- pecially interested in him. and no boy. as of old, begins the battle to live straight friendless and alone. The Big Brother completes the work which the country asylum has well begun or he undertakes it alone. if for number of reasons it seems to the authorities as represented by the Children's Court that just little boost is necessary. Indeed in q word the purpose of this Big Brothers organization is just to boost, and the records which they have kept show what wonderful results a boost may bring No dozens, but scores of successful young men in the city today can and do trace their sue cess to the help of a Big Brother. Some indeed. who were once little brothers. have now become Big Broth CTS themselves.

BROTHERS 10 ORDER
 BIG BROTHERS TOO
New York's Most Curious Oreaniza- ton Whose Object is to Boost Bad Boys Into Good Lives.

/ New York. May 3.-(Special Corre- spondenee of The Republican)-M ing brothers to order-and big brothers at that--fully grown up and endowed with hair. teeth and wisdom, is the work of what is probably the most curious organization in New York. It is not science which has thus appar- ently improved on nature. however, but philanthropy. for the Big Brothers organization. numbering more than 500 members, exists simply to look out for the waifs of the city who have come within the grasp of the law. Each member of the Big Brothers is a busi- ness or professional man who assumes responsibility for one boy giving him practical help and especially friendship and advice, which is often the thing most needed to give the homeless boy q fair start.
 The work which these men have set themselves is simply that of making bad" boys good. the boys who have run counter to law and order and come before the childrens court At the headquarters of the Big Brothers the executive secretary receives informa- tion from this court and various
 
 need of a friend and assigns the case to a particular Big Brother Most of the Big Brothers gain in this work their first acquaintance with fhe con- ditions imposed by grinding poverty upon a vast part of the city's popula tion and of the difficulties of growing up right that are encountered by tens of thousands of boys in this city. In- deed the work of this unique organiza ton is as curious and interesting as it's name. The task of big brother ing" the city's stray youngsters not only leads into the strangest sur roundings but is also surrounded with many difficulties. Many queer cases arise of which the following as told by the secretary of the Big Brothers is 8 fair example.
 "A case which came under my. ob- servation a short while ago said he,
Arizona republican., 1908-05-10

will serve to illustrate both the req
 son for our belief that most of New
 York's so-called bad boys are in reali- ty only unfortunate and that a little l friendly help at critical times is al! l that is needed to keep them from [ growing up into criminals and to en- able them to become useful citizens. The boy in the case was sturdy little German who had been arrested and brought before the Children's Court charged with collecting transfers and selling them at reduced rates at june
 tion points of the street car lines Of course we always find out everything
 possible about children brought into court since there are usually reasons ! back of their appearance there aside < from the act charged against them.
 Tn this instance it developed that the lad had run away from a stepmother
 in a country town in Massachusetts.
 being furnished with money for the trip by neighbors because of the in-
 human treatment he received. He had
 a grandmother here and went to her upon his arrival. She kept. him over
 over night and then turned him into
 the street Then he looked up an
 aunt who agreed to keep him for five
 dollars a week. He was not able to
 make over three working in butcher
 shop and so resorted to the eXpedient of selling transfers. His aunt didn't
 trouble to come to court when the boy
 was arrested and investigation showed
 that what home surroundings the lad
 had were not beneficial to say the
 least.
 He was manly little chap before
 the judges and evidently needed only a little real help and friendliness to get along. There was no need to send him to an asylum if only just small boost
 were given and it is just these boosts that the Big Brothers try to give The deputy clerk of the Children's Court called up and asked the aid of the or ganization. Well. what the boy need ed was first of all place to sleep and next job We took care of the first requisite easily enough and finally a place was found for him as a page at Wards Island. over there they said they would give him a trial if We could get two recommendations as to his character. We hunted up the butcher for whom he had worked and he willingly supplied one, while the deputy clerk furnished the other. The boy was in rags so that we had also to find clothes for him.
 The upshot of it is that he is the most grateful youngster in the city and immensely tickled with his new job. We all of us get letters from him at frequent intervals which make up in enthusiasm what they lack in gram mar and spelling. l went to see him the other day and found that he was hoarding his pennies in order to buy a violin and study music of which he seems inordinateiy fond. Possibly we have rescued a genius; at any rate there is no other organization which could have taken the place of the Big Brothers in dealing with such a case as this"
 Each Tuesday night about sixty of these boys troop 10 the building where they have been organized into a free gymnasium class by the Big Brothers. Athletics indeed is a great factor in holding the boys and providing an in terest which is common to all of them. Classes are held also in various
