OFFICE BOYS CLASS.
No Joke about This Enterprise,
Because Boys Make Good

When the class for the training OF Office boys was
started last fall by the Childrens Aid Society at
its 6th street school the newspapers and the comic
press were inclined to treat it good Joke and
the projectors OF the enterprise regarded IT an
experiment and were modest in their expectations
Now. at the opening Of the second term. with sixty
pupils where they hoped for twenty at most. and
with applications for graduates pouring in from
business men. they consider themselves justified in
announcing that the school for Office boys has come
to stay.
Three evenings a week devoted to the sessions
of the Boys Business Club which is the organiZa-
tion in the which the classes conducted.
The advanced class smeets Monday. the juniors
on Wednesday and the members OF both gather
every Thursday evening for social and athletic d.
versions The pupils are from the public schools Of
the neighborhood and range In age from ten to
fourteen years. They are Russian Jews for the
most part. though there ia sprinkng Of Italians
and Irish.
The historical method" is favored by Messrs-
Turner and Jantzer the volunteer instructors of
the school, It is assumed that a boys business
career begins with his answering Of a want ad-
vertisement. So the members Of the elementary
class trained In the writing of letters in reply

many lower East Side children don't know the way
to Central Park other parts OF the city equally
famous. 1t is for the same reason that many
grown-up New Workers know so little Of Callfor-

But with the aid maps and occasional trial trips
to the principal public and business buildings the
boy Is gradually taught to make his way on er-
rands through the city One Of the tests Is that OF
sending him TO address incorrectly given but so
written as to give him clews to the right address
II he uses a little ingenuity Many or the boys
have met this test with credit

 In the matter of delinquent taxes charged against F. T. La Prade, the Board finds that de linquency accrued from unavoid- able causes. Itis ordered that the same be cancelled on back tax list by the payment of taxes without penalties. And further, the Board in it's judgment con- siders that where the county is indebted for services rendered on demands prior to date of delin- quency of taxes, credit for the amount of such amounts as may be approved by the Board should be allowed such taxpayers and the Tax Collector is ordered to cancel such penalties accruing thereon.
