THE OLDER BOY PROBLEM

An editorial from the Boston Even
li,g Transcript, issue Of October Goth.
1919, just after the Boston Police
strike, IS reprinted below:
This community recently witnessed
an exhibition Of youthful energy
gone wild" The temporary lapse OF
laws restraint revealed a vicious .est-
| le sness born Of idloness, irresponsible
ity and those companion forms Of neg
lect by which the individual and soci-
ETY. suffer. Within our own dooryard
we saw the budding champions Of
rowdyism, plumber, Bolshevism, an
arci ism Most Of the actors were not
men grown, but those socn TO bear
that designation. BY day and by
day and by night for a short period.
night for short period, their revels
displayed the tragedy Of adventure
sde-tracked towards vice, brutalism
and destruction-the antithesis Of SO
ciety's hopes and aspirations.
A superficial observer might think
that tnese tendencies were subdued
alcng with their gross manifestations
when law and order were restored.
Bet behind the exhibition is the big
problem which confronts every agency
dealing with boys Of fifteen and over
1t is the problem Of helping each to
make his adjustments to himself and

between juvenile magazines and mag
azines for adults, prepared expressly
for "the older boy" and bearing the
significant title, The Open Road. IL
is published in Boston and backed by
Boston's business men and educators.
In the years Of later youth when
ideals are forming but while character
is still fluid, when ambitions are begin
ming to take charge but judgment is
still immature, boy needs the infllu-
ence Of a clean, virile magazine IN
which there are stories that grip his
interest, articles and comment that
feed the reservoirs Of his finer posi-
bilitieg and a literarl quality that in
creases his taste for good reading. IL
is well-known that our so-called "yel-

selfish pleasure.

HERE IN INTEREST OF
 NEAR EAST RELIEF

w. H. LeMaster, field repre- sentative of the Near East Re lief, was in Williams again this week, completing arrange ments for the relief of starving Armenians. He is. securing chairmen in each town who will boost this most worthy cause and solicit the cooperation of every citizen. Rev. MT. Barn hardt, of the Methodist church has been appointed to direct the appeal in Williams. Every or ganization in the city, fraternal, racial and religious, is asked to rally to his support. This is a non-sectarian movement, au- thorized by the government to make this effort and should have the financial support of everyone.
 Arizona's quota is 1000 or phans. Williams should volun- teer to care for her full share of this number. No one has a right to enjoy the luxuries of life and willfully withhold from others who are starving.

There is a rumor being cir culated throughout this section to the tune of ttOrganized Base Ball' for Northern Arizona, this coming season. From what we are able to ascertain, there is to be a meeting in Flag staff in the next few days con- sisting of a representative from each of the towns, expected to participate in the league. It is expected that the teams will have a schedule calling for a game each Sunday, two games per month of which will be played on their home grounds and two in the other towns of the league. Our informant states that the towns expected to take out franchises are: Hol :: brook, Winslow, Flagstaff. Will Hams, and Ash Fork, with the possibility of Seligman instead of Holbrook.
