DECLARES BOYS’ CLUB REDUCES DELINQUENCY Is Giving Actual Dollars and Cents Return to Its Communities. CLUBS MAKE RECORDS Declaring that “the reduction of delinquency and of crime gives a dollar-and-cents method of measuring the value of the Boys’ Club." Alexander Campbell of New York City in an address today before the delegates to the sixteenth annual convention of the Boys' Club Federation at the Claypool Hotel indicated an argument which may lie advanced in gaining the interest and support of the business men of this country in the Boys' Club movement. “Many of our clubs have established remarkable records in reducing delinquency and have received public recognition in this respect," Mr. Campbell said. “The most effective method is to determine the number of boys within a dull district who are arrested each year and then compare it with a similar area and number of boys in a section not reached by the Boys’ Cluli or with a neighboring city of equal size where there Is not a club. OFFERS SI GGESTION T BOISIXESS MEN. "The Boys' Club Federal ion lias a very important suggestion to offer the business man It is said this country has material, capital and labor, but the markets of the world arc limited. When matters of exchange are in time adjusted. prosperity will come to the people who are able to offer good* at the lowest price. We submit the solution of the economic problem li.-s not in cheap labor and low wages, hot in the skill of trained hands and brains to produce quality in such quantity as to make the cost of manufacture less than that of the competitors. And yet in view of this situation, the trade schools of New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, where onetenth of our entire boy population have opportunity for education, have not enough boys enrolled In a!! trades to man the Bethlehem Stee'. plant alone. "Education authorities awake to this situation stand in the doorways of the public schools beckoning to boys to come in. State Legislatures are enacting continuation school laws to compel boys to continue their education. Federal grants for vocational training have been made. But the thing these agencies are not able to do is to convince boys of the necessity of such training. “Tlie Boys' Club stands in th* unique positl*o* of being able to reach the bov who has passed beyond the door of the schoolhouse and who does not take compulaorv training of any kind. The J’.oys Club is able to provide for him industrial work of a nature that will interest him in the value of seleeting some trade or pro session and lifting himself for a more useful career. We claim no advantage over the educator in resp< -1 to what a hoy should be taught, but we do know in th.* psychology of interesting boys in what they should know, the Boys' Club is a specialist. This is the position of great strategical importance and to capture the attention of the public in this respect should be the aim of every Boys' Club in the federation.” The speak-r pointed out fhp important.* of making a survey of local industries for the purpose of interesting these indus tries in furnishing instructors for class work In the clubs and also <>f lnr* resting the industries which employ boys in giving the boys an hour or so a week for fra'ning them to become more valuable.

REPRESENT YAM ABLE INFI-tENCE ON COINTRY. Mr. Campbell said: “The Bovs' Club Federation represents no uncertain In fluenre on the life of the country While the local club may be concerned with bettor (leys, the federation's concern is a better Nation through the trn'ning cf its bov s. Each local club as it captures strategic advantages by eliminu'ing boy crime, by building better bodb-> and better health, by stimulating training a*d creating the consciousness ..f public responsibility. stri ng! hot.s the growing power of the federation as it combines and co-ordinates the forces fashioning the character of the Nation." At the morning se.-lon today. Ii B Shourds. architect of Chicago and 1 • rr>* Haute and a member • ' the na'iona! board of the Boys' f.ub. discussed th* report of tie committee seeking to standardize requirements for a model Boys' Club building. He made a plea for i tie minimum requirements, which can be made applicable to clubs of small means. Other talks were made concerning the object, field and future es the 11* p.' Club Late this afternoon the resolutions committee will report and officers als • will be nominated and elected. The four-day session will close bought with a banquet in the ltilev room of the ("btypool Hotel. Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge will make the principal address.
