REFORMING THE NEWsIEs.

For some reason the city newsboy
has always been regarded as model
OF sel6 reliant youth, and no one has
felt called upon, to worry about him.
In TACT. there seems to be popular
belief that most newsboys are cap-
tains OF Industry in the making.
A, few cities are, Just beginning to
realize; that in reality these little
street traders are, Just another zhase
I'd the child welfare problem. De-
troit, for example, say, had an ordin,
ance which compelled every newsboy
to have q badge, which certified that
he was over t12 years of age; and for
a time this worked very we'll. But,
as the city grew, it became impossible
to keep track of all the newsboys and
they gradually fell into disrepute,
Fifty per cent OF the boys brought to
the juvenile court were newsboys, and
the younger boys made paper ceiling
an excuse for begging, picking pock-
cts and other disreputable practices.
The newsboys themselves .vere the
first to see that their profession was
falling into disgrace, and they formed
a union, Their first move was to OBJ.
tain from the newspapers the right
to return unsold papers. They, next
turned to cleaning up the streets,
land, though it required much fighting,
they enforced rule that boys under
sixteen should not be allowed on the
streets after nine O'clock
| At this point an agent Of the mas
tional child labor committee came to
the said Of the boys, and drafted
an ordinance for them, which is now
before the city council and which, II
passed, will make the rules OF the
union into law.
Street trading by children is a
cause of Juvenile delinquency in
many other cities. where 1t is not ev-
en- thought OF as a municipal prob
