N @t&A<L -
tude Toward Boy Eife.ss The sub
topic explains the method. It is
this: Reaching Boys Through their
Likes.
Imagine how disastrous st is to
a boy to make him learn psalms and
hymns as a punishment for disbe-
havior. How do you eyer expect him
to like to go to church and sing
hymns. when they suggest disct-
pline2
mote and follow their likes.
When baseball Is In the air, let the
boy organization take that form; II
track athletics. then form. Even Il
stamp collecting, then use that.
"Organize theme on n subject
that ia uppermost, but beware OF
using q subject that IA not OF perma-
nent interest. This Is why baseball
iii better than stamp collection.
Then. toe the logical order of I'M
portance must be preserved. It Is
next to Impossible to hitch q Bible
class on the end OF s. basketball team,
but an easy and feasible thing to
hitch a basketball team on q Bible
class"
What Boys Like to Do.
Here are the things that q boy
likes to do:
Be physically active; collect end
exhibit things; make things: go
somewhere: worship heroes; be
|chums and travel in g1oups and
gangs; do something: organize:
fight; love or adventures wander
lust.
Someone asked how the churches
were going to do ali this work for
boys. Who would do it3
Mr.. Robinson said that the pastor
certainly ought not to undertake to
dc it himself. He would be simply
swamped IN the effort. He cited one
pastor who undertook to carry on
the boy work Of his church. natu-
rally he had TO neglect the other
duties Of his church. and conSe-
quently boy work got a blackcyo In
that community.
How lit Can he Done
"But 1t does lot q large
expenditure OF money nor d big force
of workers. One oF tive volunteer

RAIL WAY EMPLOYEES

FOR BIG OUTING
Annual Excursion Will Be
Held to Chesapeake

In order to replenish a depleted sick
and relief fund treasury. the members
of the Washington Railway Relief As
ISOLATION are rapidly completing plans
for one OF the most notable of the sum-
mer excursions out of Washington. The
railway men will give their annual out
ing to Chesapeake Beach Thursday.
June q, and according to standard
reckonings the affair promises to be a
notable one.
The motormen, conductors and other
employees of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company have a unique
organization. 1t assists those In need,
and through the kindliness OF the rail-
way company the employees and their
families are given a number of enter
tainments during the year. The Wash
ington Railway and Electric Compan.
paws all the expenses Of these enter
tainments. Thus, the monthly dues Of
81 per member and the returns from
the annual outing go to maintaining
the essentially beneficial features Of
the employees association. In considera
ton Of their membership in the relief
cal and surgical care when needed, as
well as a weekly benefit when incapaci-
tated for labor. On the death OF
member his wife or mother receives
member when either his wife or mother
pass away.
The relief association has commodious
club rooms on e street northwest, near
Ninth, with bowling alleys. pool and
billiard tables, library and other appur-
tenances of a we'll set up club. The as
sociation members have the benefit OF
number of entertainments during the
year. the expense of which is borne by
the company.
Clarence P. King. president of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, is taking a lively interest in the
relief association. He has been reg
ular attendant at the committee meet
ings for the excursion to Chesapeake
Beach on June q, and there is every
assurance that the affair will be the
most unique entertainment the railway
men have ever given. The program of
sports and other entertainment Is en-
tirely new for this year Valuable
prizes will be given, both to the ticket
holders and to the winners and near
winners in the athletic contests.

TEN DOLLARS CAN
SAVE LIFE OF ONE
BABY This SUMMER
Appeal Sent Out for Funds
to Open Camp for Tired
Mothers.

"Out of a great need and for the sake
of the suffering that the coming sum-
mer will bring to helpless babies comes
this appeal to you"
These words stand out in a call issued
today by the summer outings committee
Of the Associated Charities to those
who would aid the unfortunate to spend
a week or so at Camp Good VIII. The
appeal paints the contrast between
those who have and those who have
not.
Camp Good VIII is calling the tired
mother with a restless infant in her
arms-but lack Of money stands in the
way: and the two must languish in a
tenement or in a crowded fiat unless
some one else pays for the needed va
cation.
This year there has been added to
Camp Good VIII an infants camp
where mothers with Ill nursing babies
may receive attention-if some one will
defray the bare expenses of the camps
maintenance.
The toll from infant mortality, sta
July, August, and September as In any
other three months in the year.
The man who subscribes So gives a
physician y care, nursing, and good food
to a mother and baby for one week.
He who gives $40 may save the life of
dying infant, a little fellow who pants
the long days through In some humble
home and across whose flushed cheek
has never swept the pure air Of the
great outdoors.
The sum of $25 names a crib or names
a tent for a season and $l2 will send two
children to the camp for two weeks.
Camp Good VIII had $50 happy
mothers and children as Its guests last
summer. Camp Pleasant, for colored
mothers and their children, cared for
1853 guests. Camp Get-WeT, for i'll
babies and the instruction of their
mothers, is this summers adjunct to
Good VIII and upon it and the reader
of this appeal depends the reduction
of infant mortality in the capital of a
rich nation.
