WHAT JUNIOR REPUBLIC IS
FROMBOY'SPO OF VIEW
A Description of the Community Built Up in the
Envrons of Baltimore

What is the National Junior Republic2 ?
When paid a visit home several months
ago some of my friends asked me where
I was. said: AT the National Junior
Republic"
Where is It? What is it?' were the
questions. But there you are. As near to
Baltimore as the republic is. II is COM
paratively little known.
The National Junior Republic is on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad about eight
cen miles from Baltimore. The atmos-
phere here is permeated with liberty and
equality. The basic principle is Liberty
exalts labor and the legend Is strictly
lived up to. Every boy or girl. despite
previous advantage or disadvantage Of
birth. begins on an equal footing, and it
often happens that a boy who is penni-
less may outstrip his wealthier brother
citizen.
The National Junior Republic is as
thoroughly organized as the great repub-
lie of which we expect to become citi-
zens. The town meeting is a substitute
for the legislature; voting citizens are

The house boys are the boys who
work in the house in preference to
working outdoors. or who are TOO
young to work outdoors. Their duties
are much like those OF any woman;

to boys rooms, for which they pay rs
cents a week apiece. The third floor is
given over to 65-cent rooms and

other boys, like he has been in the out
side world, but finds that he Is not
stunned and is given cordial welcome
back by the house mother and the boys.
He soon realizes that the other boys
have been to jail for various offenses.
and that he is only disgraced while he
is in jail and not for the rest Of his life
in the Republic. and he takes up his
work, school. and social life just where

any particular profession or trade, he
Is given all the help they can give to-
ward that particular work, and when he
leaves is often given letters TO people
who VIII help 20 forward his ambitions
and help him to obtain his first position.
The Republic sets up a high standard
OF manhood, and every boy Is made to
understand that he is expected to give
the best In him. They begin to try TO
give better than their best, for they find
that the other boys are outdoing them
IL they don't. We have a good hospital

burns and sticking plaster for cuts, and

There you get orders for shoes. ties, and

The Present Jail.
The present jail is little green build

as mark OF their disgrace. and when
they are taken out for meals they walk

JudIciaJ Department.

When the laws have been passed anc
enforced by the police department. it be.
comes the duty OF the courts to admin
lister justice. A citizen can be brought
before the court. tried and sentenced for
the violation of some law which he has
probably helped to make. Who can be
blamed for his mistake? Not the help
ers to be sure. for they are not per.
mitted to take part in the citizen gov
ernment.
Well, then. Il may be the citizens, but
as they are simply enforcing the law
which they are also under and subject
to. they are surely not to blame. The
prisoner has now reasoned It out, and
when he realizes that Il Is nobodys fault
but his own, he will try to do better,
thereby learning one Of the great laws
of citizenship When he has succeeded
his past is not held against him. and he
learns a fact which would sometimes
cost him his name in the larger republic.
Here In this little community the citizens
are taught the value of citizenship by
their feilow-citizens and when they vio-
late the law, the punishment Is admin
Uttered by one of their own number.
