OLDER BOYS CONFERENCE
AT LAKE CHARLES

That Louisiana is taking its place
with the other states in work for BOYS
is evidenced by the Second Annual
State Wide Older Boys Conference.
which is scheduled TO Be held in Lake
Charles Jan. 1880, 1921. Boys from
all over the state are expected and
will be entertained free. Since the
inauglrating Of the older boys con-
ference in Louisiana last April, the Y.
M. c. A. has organized 20 Hi-Y clubs
In the public schools and their boy
worker, Fred D. Thompson, has been
covering the State encouraging boy
work. The State Sunday School AS
ISOLATION, through its Young People,
work and camp conference program,
has also been stimulating the Sunday
Schools in their work for older boys.
These two agencies have awakened
within the boys themselves the realiz-
alton that theirs is the opportunity to
mould the boy life of Louisiana for
righteousness and Christian living.
Lake Charles is making great prepar-
alton for this meeting. They have
thrown open their homes and are pre-
pairing to receive three hundred boys
and entertain them while there. The
chairman of the entertainment is DR..
Geo. B, Hines. to whom may be sent
a request for a home reservation. The
conference is for boys from l6 to IS
years of age and all who care to at
tend may go, as the only credentiaI
necessary is good conduct.

children" always write back, tell
ing them of the opportunity open for
such work. Now, isn't it strange no
one comes; and | wonder if they are
afraid of the kiddoos. the Colony, or
themselves. Here is great oppor-
tunity for some woman to show her
ability to start our little tots on the
right road to health, education, and
happiness. 1t is a position few peo-
pie can fill and few want to try; but
if | could just go back five years
and start over, had rather do that
work than any other-but my poor
old bald head is too shiney to permit
me to become Kindergarten now.
Who wishes to serve humanity. could
serve it in no better way than right
here with the little tots at Newllano.
The S. 0. S. is out-who will re-
spond? The land-clearing in on as
fast and furious" as ever and every
available man is on the job. Com

away the old tram between the saw
mill and the brick factory. We are
still looking for that shoemaker, book
keeper. broommaker, and laundry
man. The Colony women have organ
lied a women's club that meets on
Tuesday nights at the school house.

me the secrets, but | viii bet it is a
meeting that means progress anyway
and it will win.. too, for Mrs. Robert
