••BIG BROTHERS' MOVEMENT.”
"If you believe that a boy In the
open is better than a boy in Jail, you
are In sympathy with this movement."
So says Ernest K. Coulter, deputy
clerk of the Children's Court of New
York concerning "The Big Brothers."
Tills successful philanthropist is com
ing to Roston to uddress the Fathers'
and Mothers'. Club next Tuesday even
ing. Jafi. 19, In Huntington Hall. It Is
to lie a public meeting and all are
cordially Invited to hear what has al
ready been accomplished on behalf of
unfortunate boys, particularly those
who have so far transgressed the laws
as to come before the courts.
About three years ago forty men lis
tened one evening to a graphic account
of how evil living conditions In the
congested districts of New Y'ork were
setting the feet of thousands of chll*
*
dren into path* that land to crtmthal
Ity. They hoard of the groat, pat Katie
procession of children that p»*« In
endless line before a apeolnl tribunal
that the State haa all too tardily eat
apart'for them. The Children’* Court
story telle of alothful or vletoue pa
rente and Influence* that hare hedged
the child about, dwarfed hie eileteaen
and robbed him of the eunay aide of
Ilf* that le (uppoead to be ble heri
tage. It le against these conditions
that this great humane tribunal le oon
■tantly doing battle. The fault la
rarely the child's that he baa been, set
In a course which. If unchecked, would
lead to Jail or tho almshoaao.
The Children's Court, too, ha* upset
much of the old theory of heredity.
Observation of more than 40.000 oases
ha* convinced all connected with the
New fork Children's Court that envi
ronment counts at least nine-tenths.
The Justice*, who In turn preside over
this court, treat each cae*. so fer as
possible, in accordance with Its Indi
vidual requirements end with a view
to the child's future good. But. with
between 9,000 and 10,000 children
coming before the court eaoli year, no
one Judge, nor no six Judges, nor no
score of parole officers, can ksop In
personal touch with all the children
for any length of time. The megnl
tude of the court’s business requite*
that even with the child that ha* been
placed on parole one or two things
must happen before many week*—-he
muet Anally bo released under sus
pension of sentence or be committed
to an Institution. Often following the
release of thrf court’* hold there comes
a most crttloal time for the child.
Then 1* tho chief danger that he may
lapse Into the old associations end fall
again under the sway of lnduences that
first got him Into trouble.
Ho, when the forty men heard the
story of their city's Children'* Court,
and the thought was brought home to
them that the tenement child was
their neighbor and something of the
responsibility was theirs, someone
asked, "Is there anything we can dor’
And the answer was: "If each man
here will taka an Interest In Just on*
boy who has'been In trouble, and be a
sort of big brother, it will be of great
service.”
That Is the way that the "big broth
er’ movement started. What the or
ganisers and their friend* have don*
for the lads of New York city will be
Interestingly described by Ur. Coulter,
who knows more about this plan than
any other one man. Among thosa
who approve of the Boston meeting and
who expect a large attendance next
Tuesday evening are: Rev. Charles Q.

To make clear hi* position on the
Issue of the school bohds and his re
marks In the City Council. Monday
night. Alderman Charles F. Moritz
furnished The Advertiser, yesterday af
ternoon. a copy of the remarks he
Mr.’ Morltx, referring to the
ordinances that had been Introduced at
« previous meeting. In regard to the
issuance of bonds for the purposes as
set out In the special election of De
cember 14, 1*08, said:
"If I may be indulged for the few
remarks that I am about to make. 1
want to call attention of the reporter*
of the newspHters to what 1 arn going
to say. because I think It Is hut Just
and proper that this Council should
be placed In It* proper position rela
tive to the public utterances that have
appeared In the public press and tn
various communications that have been
sent to the proas, bearing upon this
subject. .. ,
"It seems there has been a great deal
of misunderstanding, or a lack of un
derstanding of the subject. The elect
ion authorizing the Issuance qf the
bonds was held on the 14th of Decem
ber. 1(01. As soon as the result of that
election was announced, the Finance
Committee, the Mayor and the City
Attorney, took the matter up. and U>e
question of the validity of the bonds;
the validity of the special election, au
thorizing the Issue of bonds, was gone
Into, and as we had made arrange
ments with a arm. a noted Arm of at
torneys In the City of Boston, who ere
recognised ns authority on bond Issues,
the matter was referred to therm and
that matter has tsken until tonight, or
rather today, to get In proper shape.
Tills City Council has not been derelict
to the public In the matter of carry
ing out the wishes of the people as
expressed in that election of the 14th
of December, nor has any committee of
this Council been derelict In Its duty,
and I want the press to get that down
eo as to bring ft to the public notice,
because, at a recent meeting at a ban
quet held a week ago tonight, at the
Bxohange Hotel, certain statements
were m%de on the floor, which were re
flections upon the Board of Education,
and upon the City Council of Mont
gomery. and I don't think that those
statements made In the public press,
and In person, should go by unchal
lenged end unnoticed. Of course, we
vi responsible to the public for our
acts, but we don't like to be censured,
and have the public bring opprobrium
upon this body when this body Is act
ing for the beat Internets of the City of
Montgomery. The question of the val
idity of the bonds Is of more vital im
portance than the opinion of any one
man, or set of men, In the City of
Montgomery, and It was the keeping of
that In view that we were carrying on
negotiations; to flret establish the val
idity of the bonds, and then to get ev
erything In shape before we authorised
the form, and the rate of Interest that
they should bear. Anticipating that
tbs report of that Arm of attorneys In
Boston would be favorable, we.,at the
first opportune moment. Introduced a
resolution, or ordinance, calling for th»
Issuance of the bonds, and the matter
could not have been attended to sooner
than last Tuesday night; In fact. It
should not have been done until to
night, and 1 am pleased tq say, for the
Information of this Council, and of the
public In general, that we received a
letter today—tho Mayor received a let
ter today from this Arm of attorneys,
Btorev. Thorndyke. Palmer and Thayer,
of Boston, Mas*.—passing favorably
upon everv Issue, and upon evervTmlnt
Involved In the Issuance of these bonds
up to this date.
•'Now, there Is a further question to
be considered about these bonds, and
that Is. whether the form of the ordiu
ance, the verbiage of that ordinance,
or those ordinances, was proper, and
the City Attorney requested the Fi
nance Comlttee. through Its Chairman,
to permit him to take those ordinances
out of committee, so he could sub
mit them to this Arm of attorneys for
their opinion, because It was of more
paramount importance that everything
should be regular, than that we should
make a mistake and have the bonds
rejected. Involving a great expense to
the city, and then have the attorneys
themselves see 1hat the ordinances
were in regular form. I want the
press to get this correct. They have
not, up to now, grasped the situation,
nor has the head of The Advertiser
grasped the situation correctly, and 1
today read their editorial, stating that
the Board of Education, In their com
munication published yesterday In The
Advertiser, urged the City Council to
ISHue the bonds that have been voted
upon by the people of Montgomery, and
the fact that the bonds have not been
Issued Is not the fault »f the Board of
Education; they are not to blame for
this delay. It rests at the door of ths
City Council: Let me read from to
days' editorial In The Advertiser:
•"The Board of Education In Its
communication published yesterday In
The Advertiser, urges the City Coun
cil to Issue the bonds that have been
voted by the people of Montgomery
It Is clear from this communication
that the delay tn the building of the
new school and in establishing manual
training Is not the fault of the Board
of Education. Blamo for this delay
rests at the door of the Cltj^CouncIl.
The bonds should he Issued, and at
ones. The matter Is a settled Issue.
The people of Montgomery have regis
tered ther will, they have acknowledg
ed their need and asked for a remedy.
'"It 1s time for the Council to act.’
"I agree with the last sentence of
this editorial: 'It Is time for the Coun
cil to act,' but not when the public
press and the public generally say we
should act, but when the time Is rlpo;
when the validity of the bonds and
date of Issue have been established and
not before. We want to placw this
Council in the proper attitude In this
matter, and If it had taken six months,
we would have deserved no censure be
cause we were waiting for the opinion
of this Arm of attorneys, and there will
be no hook or crook or aftcrclap. Ev
erything will be In form, and when
we are ready to sell them, there will
be a sale without any trouble. There
are other questions for tills Council to
fOnBlder, which, of course, we have a
Tight to take the public Into our con
fidence; the question of when we are
to sell them; at what time we are to
sell them, end the question of whether
we will lose the Interest on those
bonds. If we sell them before we really
need the money. We have to wait up
on the Board of Education as to desig
nating the time at which we should
sell those bonds: until we can make
an arrangement J>y which we can sell
the bonds and not lose ope cent of In
terest when we do sell those bonds,
whether they will be sold at par or
premium, or the manner of their sale
and accrued Interest. The City of
Montgomery has no money to throw
away .and therefore wv must move
slowly In tills matter, and I nm here
to protest against these censures and
criticisms when the people that make
them do not thoroughly understand the
situation, and It Is not with any degree
of maltoe or other kindred feeling I
mrtlte this remark I think these
statements of censure are made sim
ply from lack of Information, and I
want the press to give this Information
to th« public that they will understand
the situation as well as we ourselves
understand It."

ton Trade yf the Commercial Club, has
started vigorously to work.
The committee at a recent meeting

man, J. T. Letcher, formulated Its
campaign for "home products and di
versification,'' and effected a subdi
vision that Its work could be restrict
ed and thus made more efficient. There
Is now a sub-committee on agriculture,
and one on cotton trade, both Joined
under a common chairman, and lit the
common cause of Improving; agricul
tural conditions.
