GIVE BOYS A CHANCE.

One should visit the Boys Indus- trial Home some Sunday morning or afternoon to fully appreciate the work just beginning for the upbuild- ing of the youth of Arkansas, who thru circumstances has never been given fair and square chance to make good in the world.
 There are twenty-four boys at the school. The great majority are of the average intelligence of youths at this age. It is true they may possibly be degenerated to certain extent. But it is known fact that they were brought up under circumstances which made this fact inevitable. Several come to the school from nowhere" No fath- CTS or mothers. Others from fathers or mothers who were i'll fitted to rear them. Quite few from homes which are worse than if the youth had been born in a penal institution.
 Every youth at the school just out side the confines of this city, is g healthy robust lad. They are not ex. tremely vicious, neither are they molly coddles." But they have ten dency to "do the wrong thing" Also tendency to follow their inclina. tions." This is what the officials o1 the schools must combat.
 The boys are given suggestions te carry their inclinations and efforts ir the right direction. They are given en couragement and made to feel that they owe it to themselves and theil country to become useful citizens. Al the home the boys are given tho same priveleges as children are giver at parents homes. All this tends tt the making of the boys desire to dt something useful.
 All these boys are Arkansa' youths. Born and reared in Arkansas and it is the duty of this state t' provide and aid the boys who thru un fortunate circumstances have not beer given an even chance," with mor' fortunate boys and youths, who hat the rearing and advice of loving, sta ble and interested parents.
 It is the duty of the next legisla ture to see that the school which i just getting started, has an appro priation which will give the boys fair square chance to be useful citi zens. At present the home is small the facilities are not sufficient to ev en provide for their every day needs The officials are accomplishing won ders under the present conditions bu the state must now take a fair view o the situation and make an appropria ton which will assure the future Q this valuable institution. This no from a sentimental standpoint bu from business one, fair minded an above all standpoint of giving oth CTS a chance to accomplish somethin for the good of the country.
