The Boys' Club which was organized in Boston last autumn, is now well established and in a condition to fulfil its mission,- that of exercising an influence for the good over the poor boys of Boston. The project originated with Mr. Peabody of Groton, who addressed the St. Paul's Society on the subject in November. Four committees were formed with R. W. Emmons, W. S. Patten, R. Wheatland, and R. Talbot as chairmen. The second story of a house on Oak street, in Boston, was hired and a reading room and gymnasium were provided. The reading room is supplied with books, magazines and newspapers. In connection with the gymnasium is a bath room well fitted up, with two showers. The club started with a membership of about fifteen boys, which number will be increased when the condition of the club permits. About twenty students are interested in the movement. One thousand dollars is needed to run the club this year. Most of this has already been collected.
