ming-up that has ever been made. The
life Of the boy has never changed in
the stages Of his develoment. 1t is
the same yesterday, today and forever.
The difficulty is that the man
"the boy grown tall'-has failed eth.
er to remember or to appreciate his
boyhood experiences, and that in try.
ing to help other boys on the road to
manhood, he has lost the road.
There Is a very, very great need In
the world today for an appreciation OF
the boy. and an understanding Of the
boy, by those that have gone along the
road he Is about to travel, and SO be
able to direct him.
A man who is able to bring to those

r. Drum. Mr.. Drum Is from Syracuse,
N. Y, and has become countrywide
known because Of his wonderful work
during the men and religion movement
several years ago when he toured the
country in the interest of boy life, and
left a mark upon where ever he touch.
ed for the greater growth Of the boys.
Mr.. Drum will be in Fairmont. under
the auspices Of the local Young Mems
Christian Association, next Friday to
Sunday, November 10th, 18th and 18th,
for Boys Work Institute.
The local Y. NJ. c. A. believes that
the peopel Of Fairmont are interested
in their boys and their development
and so has secured Mr.. Drum to bring
to parents who have boys. to men and
women interested in boys, and to the
boys themselves, the importance Of the
right growth Of boys in the city for
they are the future men OF the city,
and to great extent the future ad.
vancement Of Fairmont is in their
hands.
1t is hoped that the citizens Of Fair.
mont will show their belief and conf.
dence in the boys by attending the in.
stitute and having the boys attend the
meetings which are for boys.
