BOYS'   CLUBS IN NEW YORK
 

165
 

sue periodically a small paper devoted to the interests of boys*
clubs in general, which, if persisted in, will do much good to the
cause.

I have devoted
considerable space
to these three clubs
from their being
the oldest and most
complete of their
respective classes ;
but other clubs that
are doing splendid
work are the Eree
Beading-Boom for
boys, at No. 68-70
University Place,
formerly at 1
West Seventeenth
Street, and, later,
at No. 8 West Eour-
teenth Street,
which was found¬
ed in 1883, and
at which the to¬
tal attendance
during the last
twelve years has
reached the
enormous num¬
ber of 316,913 boys; the Manor Chapel Boys' Club, at No. 348 West
Twenty-sixth Street, which has an average attendance of about fifty
boys a night, and would have as many more if its rooms were
larger; the Boys' Club of St. George's Church, at the St. George's
Memorial House in East Sixteenth Street, near Third Avenue, a
 

Entrance to  Boys'  Club  of the Wilson  Mission,   125 St.  Mark's Place.
