the best interests OF the
whole world.
Our boys are our future citizens. law
makers, rulers, teachers and touers.
Whatever helps boys to form right
ideals and entertain noble aspirations
helps society at large for generations
TO come.
Imagine for a moment the awful
condition Of the world were all boys
OF the present day to be brought up
in the slums, without any moral or
legal guidance.
What would become Of the land after
80 years2
Imagine the results which would fol-

America today should be given the
most complete and scientific training,
which would enable him to feel a sense
Of high responsibility and fill him with
a destre to be a useful and worthy
citizen.
The millennium would indeed be near.
And with every boy, or bevy Of boys,
leu INTO right paths, the whole race is
led just so much nearer perfection.
John Collins, of New Haven. Conn,
has been FOR years interested in friend
less and homeless boys, and is today
national secretary of the Boys club.
Asked to describe the organization he
said:
"The term boys club is given to
any company of boys, large or small,
having occasional or regular meetings.
and usually In connection with adult
friends Of boys, who cooperate with
them directly or indirectly for their
physical and moral welfare.
The members are almost wholly
drawn from the boys on the streets
at night. The club provides nothing
that the boys In the more WeIl-tO-dO
family does not find in his home 1t is
a substitution of innocent and as far
as possible helpful amusements for the
street environment in the interest OF
those boys only who are already on
the streets, and fl does not attract the
other class Of boys from their homes,
something that should never be done
by those who are Interested in helping
boys.

voice, but not so audibly as to disturb
others and there are few rules for
keeping order, rules for this purpose
being mostly included in the chief rule
that the boy must do right. He can
play a game, read a book, take a bath,
exchange books and games and the
like, as he prefers. He is practically
under no more restraint than upon the
street and the least possible attention
is paid to an occasional harmless
prank unless 1t is continued, or is so

by the Messrs. Shubert, and fought for
by Lew Fields Ltebler q Co, William
A Brady, Henry W. Savage, d. V. Ar
thur, Fred G. Whitney, John COrt and
others, was for the simple purpose Of
making it possible for producing mana
gers to present their plays In any city
and IN any theater they desired. and
for the MANAGERS of theaters through
out the country to secure from pro-
ducing managers such plays as they
felt would be acceptable to their pa
irons. Under the old conditions KlaW
and Erl4a7nger had agreements with
practically all the one night stand thea
