a few days ago it was announced that

among these few.
Mr.. Jenkins's services in connection with
the prevention OF cruelty TO physical life
dates back forty-three years, 10 the day
when he began working with Henry Bergh-
When the New York Society for the Pre-

lied there was not a society in the world
whose work was specifically that OF pro
tecting children. To-day there are SIS So
cieties. besides branches. and there is hard
ly place on the planet which is not with
in the jurisdiction OF an agency for the pro-
lection OF child life. In a large measure
this is due 10 the direct efforts OF the OH

Jenkins has Dlayed an interesting part in
connection with the lives of more than one
person who has become well known. He
was once guardian Of Lillian Russell. AS
1Ir. Gerry's cOadjUtOr. ne had a share in
the musical education of JOSEF Hoffman,,
the pianist.
In the course OF the generation which has
elapsed since the organization OF the sOci-
ETY. the treatment OF children in civilized
countries has been largely changed. What
has been accomplished for the child within
this period is indicated by what AR Jen-
kins told a Tribune representative a few
days ago.
We had no compulsory education law in
those DAYS" said Mr.. Jenkins. Although his
mustache is gray. otherwise his appearance
does not give indication OF the length OF
his service. That law began about the
same time that the society and began
work. he continued. 1T has been a great
benefit TO the citv and is or great value as
a deterrent Of incipient crime In children
