BOY INVESTMENT HERF $60,000,000 Almogt Equal to Real Estate Value ‘Rotarians Are Told New Britain has a cash investment of 373,000,000 in real estate and $60,- 000,000 in boys. The ecity spends $246,000 a year in police and fire protection for its property, while only 1,200 out 8f 16,000 boys are receiving systematic and organized training outside of school hours, according to Alexander Campbell, of New York. Mr, Campbell, who spoke to the Rot- ary club at the noon luncheon today is president of the Boys' club fed- eration of the United States. “Most people think of boys' work as charity,” he said. “Certain types of ice cream parties and similar affairs indicate that these things are viewed from the standpoint of sympathy. “Boys are in no sense to be re- garded as objects of charity, Boys’ work is not a matter of philanthropy, it is a matter of great public moment, for in the boys is wrapped the wel- fare of the nation. “We don’t think the school is an object of charity, yet 100 years ago the school was the parents’ knee, We think the schol today is a necessity We must realize that every boy is a community asset and the boy prob- lem is a community proplem and not a home problem. It is time we should think in terms of public interest in providing for these hoys in their leisure hours along definite programs, “The ideals upon which your char- acter is built were founded during your hours of pilay. *The popujation of New Britain in- cludes about 16,000 boys. It costs $400 a year to bring up the average boy. The average boy at the age of 30 represents a cash investment of about $4,000 “The boy investment ain is about $60,000,000; the real estate investment is about $73,000,- 000. What you see in buildings is, almost equalled by the cash invest- | ment in your boys. “The United States government spends annually $1,272,000,000 on criminals. Who pays for this? The consumer. There isn't a thing you wear or eat, but what has added to it the cost of boy failure in industry. Whether you realize it or not you are| vaying in everything you buy a tre-| meéndous cost of boy failure, “New York, Boston, Philadelphia and St. Louis do not have enough hoys in all trade schools combined to | operate the Bethlehem steel plant. | The only way to reach the boys fis through the Y. M, C. A, Boy Scouts| and Boys' clubs. The only way the average boy gets his knowledge of industry today is in the pool room or on the street corner. This attitude is reflected in the future workman. “There isn’'t in our country any provision for training future citizens in the responsibility of using the bul- lot, Boys and girls too should have a training along the lines of the re- sponsibllity which goes with privilege of the ballot.

Aren't your boys just as valuable as your build- Inga? “Our country’s future depends upon{ the training and care of its boyhood.” | D. K. Perry reported on a “Father and Son" meeting he attended at a session of the Binghamton, N. Y, Rotary club and it is likely there will be such a meeting here. 1t wa¥ reported by 1. J.
