AN APPEAL.

The New York Juvenile Asylum Is the
oldest and largest, and. until recently,
was the only institution caring for Prot
estant boys committed by the Children's
Court in this Judicial District
The Childrens Village at Dobbs Ferry
with its 2sS acres and % cottages, is
considered by experts one OF the very
best. If not the best. OF its kind in the
world Here the physical. manual, in
tellectual and normal development OF
the inmates is carried on under the most
favorable conditions. Potential vicious
ness and bad citizenship are transformed
into sterling character and good citizen
ship.
This fine plant has been provided by
private philanthropy, and is free from
mortgage debt. II has no endowment
The City OF New York pays an annual
sum, which is not quite sufficient TO meet
the actual cost OF maintenance and edu-
cation. Notwithstanding an economical
administration. An appeal must. there
fore. be made 10 the Protestant public
Of this city for contributions TO meet an
annually recurring deficit and 10 sup
ply needed working capital
A distinguished citizen and former
Mayor OF New York, who Is particularly
interested in providing an Endowment
Fund has generously agreed 10 duplicate
each dollar contributed for this purpose
up to a total OF 100000 with the pro-
viso, however that $4,000 must be
pledged by others on or before June 10
next.
The Directors regard the erection OF
additional cottages. a hospital. an indus
trial building and an assembly hall as
especially necessary 20 enable the in
stitution 10 fulfil its obligations toward
it's wards and Increase its efficiency
generally; and as the city will not and
cannot be expected 10 furnish funds for
these buildings II becomes necessary 70
appeal 10 private citizens FOR the re-
quired amounts.
, Citizens Of New York are urged 70 aid
this exceptionally worthy cause by sub
scribing either toward the endowment
or toward the buildings.
Checks should be made payable tC

there are not plenty of healthy children

Mr. Roosevelt urged the farmers to take
the lead in their own betterment
