CHICAGO Y. M. C. A BUILDING;
CHARACTER AND GOOD-WILL
An Exclusive News Story
By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL I
Through the courtesy of Mr. W.;
Ellis Stewart, secretary of the Su-i
preme Liberty Life Insurance Com-j
pany, and chairman of the business!
committee of the YMCA., and vice~|
chairman on their committee ofj
management, I met Mr. H. R. Craw-*
ford, for seventeen years has been?
executive secretary of the Wabash,
branch of the YMCA., 38th and Wa&
ash, Chicago.
After a trip through their build
ing and a review of their efforts on</
can begin to appreciate the real good;
that this organization is doing in
the community by way of building
character and cementing good-will
between the otherwise delinquent
youths and the business element oi
the community.
Years ago when the race started
moving southward in Chicago tin?
socalled “white-collar” element of
the group went far beyond the ordin
ary district of the YMCA. leaving
only the socalled “riff-raff” or in
corrigible class of youths in the im
mediate vicinity of the “Y.”
The committee of management de
cided that their greatest work was
in constructively controlling this
wayward element and so several
years ago they waged a campaign to
interest the minds of these youths.
That their effort has been a suc
cess can be attested to by the recent
action of the youths on the last
Hallowe’en night when in the dis
tricts further south thousands of
dollars worth of property was de
stroyed by youths giving vent to the
holiday spirit within them while in
the district of the “Y” no such loss
es were incurred. And while the
youths were playing havoc to the
south of the normal “Y” district the
youths in the 2nd Ward or “Y” dis
trict were having a big street cele
bration right in front of the “Y”.
As one learns the story tne secret
of their success is very simple. They
knew that the average youth has a
boy hero—or gang leader — as they
apparently are, and in the 2nd ward
there were some two hundred differ
ent gang leaders. The plan then was
to contact these gang leaders, find
out what interested them the most,
and through cooperative methods in
due? the gang leaders to fraternize
and indirectly control those under
their leadership, and in this the com
mittee of management has been
most eminently successful.
Over 550 boys who otherwise
would be miscreants on the public
streets have thus been banded to
gether and now their entire pleasure
is centered along an avenue that is
constructive and amusing to them
and worthwhile to the business ele
ment of the community.
These boys have their minature
form of government, the gang lead
ers are interested in the perfection
of their own organization and the
perpetuation of their own control_
but in entirely lawful and construct
ive methods instead of the unlawful
and rowdy methods followed by boys
in the adjacent communities.
The official title of their organ
ization is the 2nd Ward Boys Broth
erhood and in addition to their
Elective, recreational, athletic and
Social prc gram, they are a real asset
>n the cleaning and general better
nent of affairs in the 2nd ward, so
nuch so that the business-men, fact
ory owners and politicians not only
cooperate with the boys in their
ictivities but in most instances they
;ponsor and pay for the membership
find other expenses of the boys in
^;heir “Y” work and in doing so find
jthat the cost is insignificant when
*compared to the losses sustained by
boys running wild and following law
less methods as they did before the
“Y” campaign was waged.
It would take at least twice this
amount of space to adequately cover
the activities of the “Y” with both
boys and girls, but suffice to say
that in building character and cem
enting good-will their program is an
entire success and should be an in
spiration to other cultural efforts
throughout the country.

IT NEVER PAYS
By R. A. Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
It never pays to yield unto the
wrong,
To crush the weak, because one may
be strong
Be false to friend or harsh to enemy,
Thru cowardice or insincerity. 1
It never pays to turn from duty
plain,
To compromise with wrong for sake
of gain;
For duty shunned means heavier
cross to bear
And gain is loss, accrued by means
unfair.
It never pays to live for self, alone,
If beggar, or if king upon a throne,
For who lives thus will surely realize
He useless lives, and unregretted dies
It never pays to boast of high estate,
Of lineage, nor of possessions great,
For beggars now, have rich as croe
sus buen,
And we are brothers all, beneath the
skin.
Such thoughts as these might well
ouf minds employ,
As we give vent to our thanksgiving
J'oy,
Great joy comes not thru what we
may possess,
But living so that others we may
bless.
