Large Club for Boys.

The boy in the city must avoid many side tracks if he desires to lead an upright and useful life, says the Bostop Globe. Constantly he is beset with distractions which may lead him astray into the rangs of the incompetent, idle or even vicious. He is an inquisitive, knowledge-thirsting creature, full of the great possibilities of youth. His latent powers are precious; yet they are wasted with a prodigality akin almost to that of nature. Hence the establishment of the large boys’ club in Roxbury, handsomely housed and well equipped, means that many boys will be given the opportunity to keep on the main line leading to a useful life. A boy’s enthusiasm is more often aroused when he thinks he is playing than when he is working at school. The boys’ club can catch him when he is enthusiastic and start that enthusiasm toward manly accomplishment. We wish the club every success.
