The responsibility < an be assumed bv one or more of the clubs of the city so interested. The plan recognizes all kinds of activities that may he directed in the welfare of boys. If several clubs of the com* munity desire to enter the contest the responsibility of adults ns indi cated by this plan may be divided among the clubs. “The high lights of this plan are: First, it recognizes both the play time and the work time of boys. It is with them both their leisure and active periods of life. Second, it emphasizes both the individual and the group in terests of boys. It may be said to recognize the child as an individual and as a member of a community. Third, it assigns responsibilities for boys as well as resjionsibillties for club members. Fourth, it introduces the university and the practical boy expert to business and professional men and to the boys of many com munities. Fifth, it furnishes a com mon plan, insures a greater regulari ty in boys’ work, induces the activity of more men, checks a frequent ten dency toward impulsiveness, creates a uniform plan of procedure and in sures a permanent continuous na tional activity.” Resolutions were passed by the busi ness methods eommlttee calling upon iiotarv clubs to adhere to the Pthh* of the order in alt business transac Hons. * -.. ■ ■ - =Ti fFa%WNo 2-Pants Suit Pnvmpnt Down A" ,h,‘ »*'• / UyiltVIII LSVWU trrns In I hr fines* nil Add them *<• y ntir woul fabrics, tailored in .nt and pay nl fast **•-.
