There was an attendance of 1,700 “newsies” last year. All the activities of the club and camp are guided and projected by young men of high moral character, The work appeals so strongly to the boys that about 2,000 of them are now members of the club and the manage- ment is driven to the immediate necessity of seeking better and more commodious quarters. The following gentlemen have in- terested themselves in the matter and are, it is understood, enlisting a large committee of leading business and professional men to organize and di- rect a campaign to raise at least $250,000, with which to secure one or more buildings and equip them. They feel that a dollar spent in auch in- telligent and wisely directed work upon the lives of these ambitious boys, in the formative period of their character, ia worth more than @ hun- dred so spent when they have reached maturity.
