racy, and a Boys Club gives these
roots a chance to grow and bios
som into honorable citizenship.
5. The Boys Club is primarily
and completely non-sectarian, in
cluding in its membership boys Of
every faith. Catholic, Protestant
and Jew alike.
Wide Interest.
The widespread interest among
community leaders in the Chest
supported Boys Club of Washington
is indicated by the membership of
its Board of Trustees. Headed by
Mr.. Jelleff as chairman. and Albert
F. E. Horn, as president, the men,

the past 10 years, and has been
member of the staff since 1921.
Now known as the Boys Club of
Washington, the organization be-
came a member agency of the
Community Chest in 1929 and since
that time its operating expenses
have been financed through the
Chest. However, the buildings, fa-
cilities and much of the equipment
required by the three branches now
in existence are the result of the in
terest of private and civic organiza-
tions whose generosity has made
them possible.
1t was IS years ago that one of
these organizations, the Washing
ton Optimists' Club, launched on a
definite objective and program,
when it established the first library
for boys in the old and original Cen
tral Branch at 230 c street NV.
The successful growth of the library
program is seen in the fact that
three branches now contain libra
ries used by an average of 173 boys
daily.
Health Work Organized.
Another contribution of the Opti-
mists was their fostering of an or
ganized health program for the
Boys Club members, which was in
augurated in 1888, with the opening
of the new Eastern Branch of the
club. Optimists likewise make it
possible each year for SO boys to

attend Camp Reeder, the summer
camp of the club, by their provision
of a scholarship fund. They as
sisted in expanding the camping
program last summer, when they
erected a log cabin which would
take care of 10 boy campers. In ad-
dition, they equipped the health
clinic and dispensary at the camp.
An oratorical program and con-
test, annually sponsored by the OPP
timists, e.'-tends opportunity to boys
who have talent and interest in
writing and presenting speech ma
terial.
Recognized as the pioneer in the
field, the Boys Club of Washington
has had it's most extensive growth
since becoming a Chest-supported
agency. From an attendance of
42,262 boys in 1929, an ever-rising
number of boys have used the club,
and 10 years later total attend
ance of 595,773 is recorded.
The three branches are kept open
BOT Gays IN eacn calendar year.
During school months they are open
for q total of 45 hours of direct
service each week. During summer
vacation, when they are open from
10 am. to 9 pm, the weekly service
adds up to "a hours.
Three branches in widely sepa-
rated sections OF Washington now
take care of the needs of the in
creased number of boys. They are
the Eastern branch, at Seventeenth
street and Massachusetts, avenue
Sc; the Georgetown branch, at
2726 M street NV, and the Central
branch, at 230 G street NV.
A modern electric lamp-post has
replaced the gas light once seen on

nal c Street Club still stands like
Rock of Ages amid the demolition
of surrounding buildings that once
housed the elite of Washington.

and last week every seat in the

was taken for the concert.
Each year, to lead his young con-
cert-goers a little farther into the
realm of the musical unknown. DR..
Kinder has based his concerts on
a central theme. One year it was
a musical tour of various countries.
France was represented by Saint
Saens' Carnival of Animals" and
Ravels Mother Goose Suite" with
a "side-trip" to learn about the
violin, cello and harp. The Germany
of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms
high lighted another concert.
Music as Language.
Another series of concerts was
based on the theme of music as a
universal language. The youngs-
ters were taught, another time, how
the symphony grew from the early
suites of Handel to the classic SYM
phonies of Haydn and Mozart.

the new Eastern branch in boy
attendance.
Whence do the boys come, now
that the nearby population is SO
rapidly diminishing? From all
over Washington, answered John
J. Jankowski, manager Of the Cen
trail Branch.
Old Branch Closed.
The old Northeast branch, for
merly at 1868 Kraemer street NE,
which rendered long and effective
service to boys in the vicinity of the
Rosedale Playground, and which
developed so many outstanding ath-
letes and craftsmen, was closed on
April l, 1910, and its activities trans
ferred to the new Eastern branch.
The old buildings were no longer
suitable or safe enough for Boys
CLUB purposes. Plans are being con-
sidered to erect a new fourth branch
of the club in Northeast Washing
ton. in accordance with recommen-
dations based upon a survey made
by the national organization.

certs will always be part Of the
school system"
Planned From First.
Provision for the students con-
certs was contained in the first plans
for the National Symphony Or
chestra. For the first four seasons,
the children's programs were pre-
sented in the Central High School
Auditorium. But by the fifth season,
hundreds of youngsters had to be
turned away. Enlarged provisions
had to be made for the audiences
which had averaged only 375 chill
dren per concert the first year.
During the fifth season, nine con-
certs were played in three different
high schools, and the final concert,
which 1000 youngsters attended,
was played in Constitution Hall.
The season of 1939-1s4o brought
an innovation. For the first time
all the students concerts. except
the final one in Constitution Hall,
were given during school hours and
the orchestra supplied study ma
terial for use in the class rooms.
Because junior high school stu
dents constituted the largest groups
at the concerts, this year for the
first time two junior high school
auditoriums were used as concert
halls. The opening concert, played

A majestic melody drifts into a
living room through the radio.
That" school child may inform
his parents, "is Beethoven's Seventh
Symphony"
He may even go on to tell how
Beethoven happened to compose the
magnificent Seventh" or, perhaps,
an anecdote from the composers
life. He may be able to pick out the
instruments and show how they
share in the melody.
That child isn't a prodigy, but
only one of the thousands of school
youngsters who each year make up
the audiences for the students con-
certs given by the National SYM
phony Orchestra.
The schedule for students concerts
this year calls for IS programs, in II
different schools of the District and
vicinity-more than have ever been
given before. More than 10000 chill
dren this year are expected to study
music" this way.
An integral part of the orchestra's
program since its beginning, a
decade ago, the students concerts
are operated at a far greater loss
than any other series of concerts
given by the National Symphony
Orchestra. The youngsters pay Is
cents to attend. The children s
quarters, of course, do not defray
the cost Of the concerts.
These costs are absorbed in the
orchestra's sustaining fund. The
18th annual campaign for that fund,
$107, 800, gets under way tomorrow
and runs for 10 days. In that period,
the money that will guarantee STU
dents concerts as well as the other
expenses of maintaining an Or
chestra next winter will be raised.
Parents Contribute.
Among the contributors, as In
other years, will be parents who
want their children to discover that
all music is not swing. These are
parents who agree with DR.. Hans
Kinder, conductor of the National
Symphony Orchestra, that children
love good music instinctively and
only turn to seemingly more spon-
taneous music when the classic
works are badly presented.
In Selling" good music to chill
dren, DR.. Kinder has gone far
beyond merely conducting the or
chestra in a musical program. He
helps them to understand what
they hear and if they yell 'fHiho
Silver" when they hear the Will
liam Tell Overture, as they have
done, that's all right, too.
The children like the drums and
the brasses best. They will sit

derprivileged boys-in the commu-
nifty. Although many other agencies,
including churches, police depart
ments. centers, Fairgrounds and
settlements now sponsor activities
for boys, the Boys Club movement
remains unique, Mr.. Fyfe believes,
in five important respects, which
he lists as follows:
l. The Boys Club is a place,
not merely an idea or a policy.
1t is a solid, tangible, permanent
structure or building devoted to
the cause of boys, open and ready
to receive them every weekday and
evening.
2. The Boys Club appeals pri-
marily to the underprivileged boy.
1t has become the accepted function
of a BOYS Club to cater to those
who need 1t most. and the aim of
any community is to locate its
Boys Club in the areas of greatest
need.
| 3. The Boys Club presupposes
the existence of members who be-
long. and who have sustained
interest in a club that belongs
| to them.
4. The Boys Club is becoming
recognized more and more as a

could understand. DR.. Kinder. IN
one series of concerts, traced melody
and harmony from the shepherds
song to the symphony; emotions
and moods in music from the rams
horn to the wind choir, and forms
and colors in music from the wood
peckerS tap to machine-made
rhythms.
Led by DR.. E. N. c. Barnes. direc-
tor of music in the public schools,
the teachers carry on in their class
rooms the work that DR.. Kinder
initiates with his baton.
DR.. Kinder gets fan letters from
the youthful listeners. Their re-
sponse to the music of the i'm
mortals shows in the rapt faces with
which they listen and the applause
that rockets through the audi
toriums.
That Is why one Of the first
items in the sustaining flnd Is
always the students concerts.
1t is also why the school child
can listen to music and say: That's
Beethoven's Seventh Symphony"

compositions, but give them the
finale to Tschaikovsky's Fourth
Symphony and they roar their ap-
proval.
DR.. Kinder talks to them and
they love it. His simplifed version
of an opera will make it possible
for them to understand what they
see when they come of opera age.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education. who
has attended many of the students
concerts herself, has commented
that the appreciation of music these
children are getting may restore
the abandoned practice of spending
evenings at home later in life, lis
tening to music.
Equally important, she said, is
the method of presentation of the
concerts. The children, because of
the way DR.. Kinder explains the
works they hear, are sharing in the
music rather than merely listen
ing to program.
"I hope" she said, "that the con-
