LOCAL BOYS CLUB
 RECEIVES COMMITMENT

The following letter has been re- ceived by Mrs Victor Prowell. presi dent of the board of control of the Boys club.
 Birmingham, Ala, June g. 1915. Mrs. Victor Prowell, President of the
 Board of Control Boys Club. Rir-
 mingham. Ala.
 Madam President: During the past month the Newsboys republic was highly honored by the United States government for Mir A. V. Parsons. one of the men of the child labor depsrt- ment, visited us for one week to see the various phases of the renuh- lie He was very much impressed and said that our republic. with that in Boston, are the best in the country and in some respects ours is the best he ever saw. In the last month we have received letters asking about the republic from Houston, Milwaukee and Philadelphia, all saying that they have heard of 1t as the best in the land.
 Last month we spent much time en- couraging the boys with their examina- lions and trying to get as many as possible to pass The various orin- cipals of schools tell me that the news boys In the past year undoubtedly did better work than in any previous year.
 The annual meeting has been post poned until the opening of schools, for we that tflat IS the pest time of the year to have 1t. The honor sys- tenn has continued as before and the majority of the boys will soon have the sellers badge
 The order during the past month has been by far the best that we have evsr seen. Extremely few cases have been reported and all of these were for small offenses. The deputies feel that the street order Is up to them personally and this Is going far towards making the oder what 1t is The spirit amone the boys is the best that 1t has ever been owing to the fact that every phase of the republic Is in the hands of the boys themselves.
 The court that was held last montN was fine one There being large number of cases left from April al were called and 33 of these were tried Last month the law to the efres that only one boy could sell any ont afternoon paner on any corner wen Into effect. This is one of the biggas steps in the newsboys work and iron which we expect much advantage required much of our time to get thi law started, but now it is running yer, smoothly.
 The Bows club baseball leaeue cam to an end last month with the news boys team winner in the big league 1 All of the boys are very happy ove | this success and the different player are true heroes.
 We are now working on camp wi'l
