Boy's Industrial League.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A new charitable organization has recently been formed among undergraduates. It is a division of the Boys' Industrial League of Boston, under the charge of twenty representative Harvard men. The object of the league is to bring working boys between the ages of eleven and twenty, who are necessarily uneducated, under the influence of educated men and higher standards. The twenty Harvard directors will work among the boys of South Boston. Club houses will be secured in which the boys will meet regularly and receive practical instruction looking to the inculcation of principles of better citizenship. The work, which will be non-partisan and non-sectarian, will begin next autumn. J. Jackson '04 is chairman of the Harvard committee, and E. V. R. Thayer '04 is secretary of the league.
