Lecture in Union Tomorrow Night

Mr. William R. George, the founder of the George Junior Republic at Freeville, New York, will lecture on the "George Junior Republic" in the Living Room of the Union tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. The lecture will be open only to members of the Union.

Mr. George has devoted much of his time to the study of social conditions, especially of children. For five years, beginning with 1890, he spent his summers in Fresh Air Fund work for children, taking from 200 to 300 boys and girls each year to Freeville, New York. In the summer of 1894 he tried certain principles of self-support and self-government for children with so much success that it was decided to carry on the summer work in the future on these principles. In September, 1895, five boys remained with Mr. George and the Republic began its permanent work.

The eleventh fiscal year of the Republic closed last July when there were 155 citizens--87 boys and 68 girls--representing many states and 3 different countries, 300 acres of land and 24 buildings.
