Walter MoMullon, a Ninth grader in tho city schools, wroto the following editorial for tho English class. It is A boy's view on a vital subject that has too long been neglected by the men of Platte It tolls a story with which a majority of us are conversant yet wo sit idly by with folded hands. Shall wo not hearken to this boy's appeal "which is voiced by hundreds of other North Platto boys? This Is what Waltor writes: Before tho Boy Scouts had boon re organized this last tlmo, thoro was no place for a boy between twelve and eighteen to go'. If he "was, or Is now, scon upon tho streets after nine o'clock he Is asked to turn , In. Ho cannot go in tho pool halls, or should not, becauso his parents object to that and so does tho law. llowovor, you can go into any poolliall In town and And lads In thoro who are uudor eight een years of age. Many boys who have quit school were Induced to do so by tho company they met. This company was met and became acquainted with in tho pool hall. If a boy goos to the depot and sita down with some of his frtlonds he is asked to leave with his friends and not loiter around. Where olso can they go? Thoro is no place for them to bo entertained in a decent way, or a decent plpco to go. If the boys want to play ,pqol, and will, why don.t the city build a Y. M. C. A. where they can play and still maintain their own company It is not tho gamo of pool Itself which harms, It Is tho foul-mouthed sayings wH)p1i Hinv lipar in a nool hall, and which Anally has an effect upon them. Tho law of this town tells a boy that bo can't do this and he cannot do that, ho must not go to that place or this placo and must always steer clear of those places, but it has never helped to provldo a place whore A BOY CAX GO. What will bo tho effect on the boy? Ho won't sit still and twiddle his thumbs. He will finally go to this or that place because there Is no placo else to go. , . Dr. Kerr who is now organizing, or rather reorganizing the old Boy Scouts of this town, is being backed by many of the large business Iioubcs. They can not do it alone and they In turn must bo backed by the people. . If a successful Boy Scout troop is organized fin this towil It will provide a iplaco for the boyaGj and havo clean sport, providing every1 one gets behind this new movement and pushes it strongly. ::o:: If you are interested in a Blouse be sure to see ours.
