With the additional information
which came to them during the three
days allowed in which to get ac-
Quainted with their new surround
ings, they soon became familiar with
the entire modus operandi of the Ma
tional Junior Republic.
The entire government was in the
hands of the boys. Twice a year, by
ballot, they elect from among their
own ranks a president and vice presi-
dent. To the former was granted
full executive powers, and he ap
pointed his cabinet, consisting of
youthful secretaries of state, war and
the treasury, an attorney general and
chief justice. All Legislative powers
were vested in the general assembly,
composed entirely of boys and pre-
sided over by the vice president.
Once month it met, though subject
to extra sessions upon two days no.
tice from the president. Judicial
powers were vested in criminal and
civil courts. A board of health and
police commissioners supervised the
police department, appointed chief
of police and other officers of the law,
bailiffs, a clerk of court and a cost
clerk.
Any citizen without employment
was deemed guilty of vagrancy, ar
rested and fined or sentenced, or both

made to cork up this proverbial
ship and to keep it floating.

representatives of Washington soci-
ETY. were entertained, and much SYM
| pathy and financial aid for the pro-
ject obtained. Women's junior
leagues, too, were formed in both
Washington and Baltimore much for
the same purpose.
Perhaps one of the most outstand-
ing efforts to arouse interest in and

WHAT was the National Junior
w Republic? What was it's pur-
pose? What did it accomplish? How?
Although these are questions we
have been a long time reaching, and
though they might have been an
swered sooner, from the foregoing it
/, would appear. however, that the ORR
gin and founding of this boy republic,
together with the unusual interest
taken in it, as well as splendid EFFORTS
to raise funds for 1t, stretch almost
beginning Of this record.
The questions may perhaps be best
answered if we secure, say, seven
Imaginary boys and make them citi-
zens of the National Junior Republic
as conducted up to the time of aban-
donment, seven years ago.
Most Of the boys are easily secured
from the Board of Children's Guar

ceived no money with which to pay
unless he worked and attended school
Thus from the outset it was made
plain that youth is eminently the
fittest season for establishing habits
of industry, education and thrift. He
received from 10 to 121a cents an
hour for his work and the same
hourly rates for attending school
Industrious boys earned $3.50 per
week, the money being paid to them
in aluminium coins of the republic,
ranging from l cent to 81.
Receiving interest of per cent
for the first month and l per cent for
each additional month, practically
every body was thus encouraged to
deposit the whole of his earnings in
the republics citizens bank and to
pay his bills by check. These in
cluded expenses for board and lodg-
ing, clothes, court fines, if any, and
weekly tax of 25 cents for upkeep
of the government. Other funds for
this latter purpose were derived from
fines, bail forfeitures, job printing,
sale of hogs, poultry and agricultural
products, benefit performances and
outside contributions.

IND Tom aspire to become a
- printer-even an editor or writer
He could enter the print shop. where
job printing was done and where was
printed a monthly entitled the Ma
tional Junior Republic News
Did Dick wish to become farmer,
or Harry want to raise poultry, hogs
and cattle? They could.
An office clerkship, with promise of
promotion to Office manager, was open
to Matthew, if such were his bent
Here, too, he could delve in banking
and finance.
If Mark preferred to be cook or
waiter. mayhap storekeeper or din
ing room superintendent, the oppor-
tunity was open to him.
A job in either the tool or carpen-
ter shops was available for Luke,
while John could do horticultural
work or ground upkeep. or he could
work in the houses, cottages and
dormitories: he might even step right
into a policeman's uniform or take
charge of the library of thousands
of fine books donated by residents
of Washington and other cities
throughout the country.
But work they must, for there was
no room here for drones. Everybody
worked at the N. ]. R., from the presi-
dent down.
