THE BOY PROBLEM.
Very Interesting Address BY Rev. w.
II. Jackson at South Church.

Very Interesting Address BY Rev. w.
+. Jackson at South Church.
w. p. Jackson of st. Adams spoke
at the South church last Wednesday
evening on the "Boy Problem" He
was here under the auspices of the
City Mission, and was listened to by
good sized and most appreciative
audience. The speaker was introduce
ed by u. S. Waterman, and gave a
most interesting and inspiring talk
on the work that he is doing with
the boys and men in st. Adams.
Thinking that his services would be
more useful in this work, Mr.. Jack
son gave up his duties as pastor and
devotes all his time to the problems
that face boys and men. Through
the Stranahan Memorial, a very
we'll equipped club house, he has
brought a great many boys and men
under his influence, and has helped
them in many ways.
He said that there are three cities
in every city. One is the fathers
city, a city in which he goes from
his home to his work, to the barber
shop, possibly to church and then
home again. The second cityN is the
woman's; this leads from the home to
the dressmaker's to the milliner's, to
church, and then home. But the
third city, the real city is the boys.
They know all about the city from
one end to the other, good and bad
alike. 1t is his desire to show them
the good and to make that the most
dominating in their lives.
There is a school in connection
with the club in which many branches
are taught. Then too there is a
bank where his boys and men may
deposit their savings. The reason
for the establishing of this was the
fact that when the men are paid at
night, the banks are closed, and the
only place they have to put that
money is in the saloons. 1t is hard
for many to keep money even over
night. Deposits at his bank may be
made at times convenient to those
whom it benefits. Mr.. Jackson re-
counted many interesting experiences
and incidents in connection with his
work. He maintained that the st.
Adams boys were no worse than the
/ st. Johnsbury boys and he thought
that quite as much help might be
given our boys here.

MUSEUM NOTES.
