The boy was on his knees on the

Miss Nicol saw him about it.
Miss Lucille Nicol is the principal of
Public School 81. Brooklyn. The Of
tcial title Of 81 is the Probationary
school for Delinquent Boys. 1t has
been in existence a little more than a

such a splendid. rousing success that

Formerly when boys were too bad to
be kept in the regular public schools
they were Sen to the truant schools

is just about like an ordinary school

A BOY WANTS A HOME.

The New Jersey Children's Home
Society is interested in a number of
children who are homeless and need
homes. We wish to get in touch with
homes that want children.
One child in particular, a boy nine
years of age, is now staying Temporal
rily in Pleasantville. He will soon
have to leave the place where he is.
We want to find a home for him in this
community. He has never had a fair
chance; but he deserves a chance, as
every child does. We believe he will
make good, if we can give him a good
home. No one can do a greater work
than to take a homeless child and give
him a home and an opportunity.
