TORlY OF REPUBLIC
IS RELATED
W. L. GEORGE TELLS OF GROWTH
OF GREAT WORK OF WHICH
HE IS THE FOUNDER.
Despite the disagreeable weather, It
was a large and deeply interested au
dience which heard W. bI. George tell
of the history and the experiences of
the (feorge Junior republic at the uni
versity last evening. Those I'ho
turned out in the snow to hear the
lecture were amply repaid for their
discomfort by an address so human,
so interesting, so Intimate that it can
not be reproduced. To attempt to
reproduce Mr. George's talk -would be
inmpossible. He was natural and easy
and instead of a formal address gave
merely the story of his wonderfully
successful experiment, drawing from it
his theories as to the reformation of
youthful 'criminals" and the training
of capable citizens.
There are few peoplle today who
have not heard of the George Junior'
republic at lereeville. N. Y. Since its
founding the village has come to be
a national institution. Seven repub
lies patterned after It have been es
tabllshed in different parts of the
country. Its success as a school of
citizenship has -won the friendship and
aldmiration of the nation and has made
it and its founder prominent In the
public eye.
Those whio heard Mr. George speak
last evening, however, saw the work
in a new light. The speaker told
the Inside story of It all. He told of
his early efforts in the way of sum
mer camps, of hIls plan of making the
boys and girls work for their clothes
and food, of the gradual development
of a self-governlng summer camp and
finally of the establishment of the
George Junior republic, which oc
cupies the village of Freeville and !s
inhabited and governed by girls and
boys with boy-made laws, boy judges,
boy policemen and jailers, a boy pres
ident and industries as diversified end
s:clal problems as compliex as those of
the great republic. All of this lie
told as one would expect a man to tell
the story of his life work. lHe scat
tered through 'his talk Illuminating In
cidents which had given him the Ideas
on which the republic is based and
upon which he b)as developed his the
ories regarding boy natuire. For two
hours the audience listened Intently
to the talk and when it was finished
the eager questions which were asked
the speaker were evidence enough of
the keen interest of Ills hearers.
Only a lobrief summary of the talk
can be given. To attempt to re
produce it without the wonderful per
sonality of the man would be a flat
failure. Mr. George, then believes that
there is no such a thing as a bad
boy or a 'good boy. Boys are boys;
that' is the basis of his theory. If a
boy breaks the law it is because of
misapplication of boy energy. Then,
too, in the "great" republic that boy
Is a leader iwim has done the most
dare-devil stunts and in the city the
lad wrho has been arrested more than
his follows is a leader. Such a feel
Ing can only lead to repeated Infrac
tions of the laiw. The usual "re
formatory" only encourages this feel
ing, says Mr. George. The boy who
is "sent upt" mixes with other boys
who respect him in proportion to the
magnitude of his offense.
There it is tile hay of industry and
of lawfuul acc'ompllishments w.ho is
respected. The had boy is looked tip,
not by adults for whom lhe cares not
aI lick, but by boys whose o)pinion is
the ruling force of hias ilature. The
real boy, then, twith his destrel for ap
probation from his fellows, will be
'omine, under thise conditions, law
abittllng and industrIous.
'4uch is the theory of the republic.
'Ihe working Is this: Tlhe villlage of
F'reevilll Is controllehd by 'the junior
republi,. A boy or girl sent there
entlers with only the clothes on his
back and his two hlands for support.
No matter what his parents may the
paying to the republic in subscriptions,
the 'boy's astanding Is no higher than
that of his humblest neilghbor, One
inside he must hustle for his living.
There are Jobs to be Ihad and the boy
must earn his food and lodging by
the sweat of his brow. He may rise
or fall In proportion to Ills Industry.
He must attend school for a certain
tlme each day and may spend the rest
of his time as lie rishes. All of these
laws are passed by a legislature of
boys and girls and are enforced by
boy and girl offlcers, The grown
ups have not a word to say.
From this republic -boys have gone
to college and into the business world
and the success which they have made
tlhers Is sufficIent Indorsement for the
work. Mr. George told of a few cases
last evening that were hard to under
stand and believe.
ucih rass the gist of the story told
by Mr. George, Those who failed to
hear It milled a lot. They overlooked
the chanee of hearing a man who has
Sdone and is dolng a great work for
the world, tell the personal history ot

STAITJR TODAY
Captain McCarthy and his fhIlow
basketball players will leave at 7:45
this morning for their trip through
the state. The first game will be
played In Boseman this evening:; ht.
second in ? utte tomorrow und the
third In Helena on Monday evesfing.
Two of the teams to e i played on the
trip have already defeated the varstt/
In Mlssoula. The Agiles beat the lo
cals decisively three weeks ago and
the chances for a vlotory In Bosrento
tomorrow are pretty slim. although the
team Is In much better shape. and is
determined to score a victory. The
Miners, whom 'the varsity will meet
in Butte tomorrdw, also lost to the
Aggles and the game in the Smoky
city should be fast and interesting.
The Carroll club of Helena was the
second tbam to put If over Montana
this -winter but the score was so close
that thn varsity supporters look for
a victory for their team. The men
who leave this morning are Coach
Whitlock, Captain McCarthy. Whisler,
Conner., Bheedy, Qervals and Wolfe.
Wayne Johnson will act as Montana's
official at the games unless Arthur
Bishop can 'be located in Bozeman.

Professor Levasser. cha;mplon roller
skater of Oregon, has been matched
against Roscoe Iesanson, a local boy,
in a five-mile race, to be run at the
Dream roller rink, Friday evening,
February 28. This race should be es
pecially Interesting, as both young
men have met before, the result at
that time being so unsatisfactory to
both that a challenge was issued, ac
eelpted and the PropluSd ra'tce next
Friday is the result. M.anatger Flem
