make provision for the education
and welfare Of all Washington boys
To Aid Carrier Boys.
Az such thing is impossible, the
circulation department Of The Timea
has pledged itself to make its carrier
boy organization one Of the most
efficient in this country.
It's first step toward the realixa.
ton of ita self.appointed goal ID
the formation Of The Washington
Times Savings Club plan. Details
Of the plan are given in q full
page announcement printed else
where In this paper. A glance will
explain the details Of the club.
When the management of The
Times decided to start this club Il
felt that q large number Of com
mendable reasons for its formation
could be given.
One Of these is that the boy
who enters the club will be urged
to save his money to pay some of
his expenses when he enters col.
lege. Many boys could go to col.
lege who do not now 60 because
their families are unable to pay
all OF their expenses.
Every time one Of the new car
riers receives a certificate the
branch, manager who has charge of
his district will urge him to put it
in a bank and save It.
Because The Times has given
this as one Of it's reasons for form
ing the club it was able to secure
the endorsement of Senator Royal
8. Copeland of New York and Con.
gressman Sol Bloom of New York.
Both OF these men are taking an
active interest In boys affairs.
From the time a boy first enters
school he starts to receive informa.
ton, instruction and influences
from three sources" Senator Cope.
land said. "They are his parents.
his teachers and those with whom
he is associated during play time.
Recreation Is Danger Point.
Training at home and at school
are well taken care of, but the
training he receives during his
hours of recreation is the training
that can either do him the most
good or the most harm.
Il believe that 1t Is the duty of
every parent to see that the child
devotes at least part OF his recre.
atlon time to some useful and in.
structive occupation.
In starting its Savings Club.
Ine Washington Times is teaching
Its members to cultivate thrift. to
be resourceful and consequently to
develop qualities which viii make
them real business men.
"The aims of the club are high.
ly commendable. am glad to en-.
dorse the movement and to recon.
mend its to the mothers and
fathers of Washington as an or
ganization that will be of great
benefit to their children"
Congressman Bloom Is in an ada
Quate position to Judge the worth
OF the proposition when he was a
boy he was a carrier and thus
knows all the troubles, trials and
Joys OF carrier boys,
In endorsing the plan he said,
Many years ago in the city Of
San Francisco was a carrier boy,
In those days we had to do much
OF the work that boys of the pres
ent day do not have to do.
Progress in the years that in
tervene has made the work much
easier. but the training that I re-
celVed then may still be received
by the boys of this generation,
Success In life is the goal of
every wide-awake boy. The train
Ing received as q carrier boy was
OF great value to me in attaining
the success that have attained in
the years that have followed.
During the time q boy is
carrying papers he learns to be re-
sourceful, tactful and thrifty. These
three things are of incalculable
value to him when he enters the
competitive life of a business man
