WORK OF R. WALTER JARVIS A camp for loy. having hoy management, witli th director only a guide and 'ounselhir. wa tiie aim of H. Walter In directing the Indianapolis Boys' Club camp, three mile? northwest of No blesville.

the last few months. Merntiers of the hoard of control of the Indianapolis Boys' 'lub who visited Camp tieorKe Ienny, as the summer post of the Hoys' Club was named, said Mr Jarvis succeeded admirably in his attempt. Mr. Jsrvls was at hand at all times to Kive advice a. to conduct and advice regarding the sports in which the boys participated and his training of the boys was such that their camp was san itary, well kept, and had equipment made bj the boys for practically ery sport boys between the ages of eight and eighteen wished to play.

Three Hundred Attended Camp. The camp, which made a pleasant sum mer for Indianapolis boys who otherwise would have had tio outing, had an ideal site. It is said Indians formerly had a camp on th same ground. The situation of the creek, the hills and the broad plain, which wa? the athletic field, led all of the boys to believe implicitly that Indians actually camped there. The camp was at the foot of a steep bill and the first Intimation that there wa a camp in the vicinity usually came when one heard a yell from the boys, for It was almost Impossible to see the camp (rem the road.

The entrance was at the foot of a road leading down the steep hill. Hlnkle creek flows past two sides of the ground occupied by the sleeping tents, well house and mess shack, separating it frorn the athletic field on one side and a corn field on the other. The entire camp, including the athleti" field, covered ten acres, which were bought in ml when a camp was first attempted by the Boys" Club. Four boys made up the first camp and the equipment was not complete nor of the best. In two years the camp grew Blightly as more citizens found what work It was doing and as more boys became Interested in getting away from their city gangs.

Leadership in Sports. Boys became interested in leading in the different forms of athletics in the camp and their gang leaderships changed to those of captain of baseball, basketball or track teams. Mr. Jarvis was first at the camp last summer and he immediately began to organize the boys into teams, encouraging them to try for positions to play regularly. He has coached each group of boys which has been at the camp and has arranged several baseball games with teams composed of farmers in the vicinity.

In their athletic contests. the boys showed their first training in not being antagonistic to decisions which were not in their favor. Mr. Jarvis says. He says no matter who was appointed as umpire, that boy was the sole judge of a play and the boys abided by his decision.

Sports did not take up all of the boy's time, however, for swimming, fishing, tramps and a weekly ride to Noblesville for the Thursday evening band concert each had Its place. Several of the boys who were at the camp were expert swimmers and those who could scarcely swim before they got to the camp, fairly lived in the water after two or three davs. Some Fish Stories. The stories some of the boys tell about the fish they have caught this summer bid to outdo those of the visitor at any summer resort, but Mr. Jarvis backs most of them.

The fish caught are turned over to him, and he saw that they were cooked and served to the bovs who caught them. Aside from the general rules about keeping the camp clean and sanitary, the only rigid rules were that no boy leave the table if he was hungry, and that every boy rest an hour after eating. Mr. Jarvis said It was noticeable how much a boy's appetite decreased after he had been at the camp about four days. Many of them have had little to eat before they went to the camp, and the fried chicken, roasting ears and home made peach ice cream, all made by the old southern mammy, were so tempting that they literally gorged themselves with food.

One boy at the camp said he had not had a hot meal for three months'. His mother worked all day, and was too tired at night to prepare a hot meal. Another boy said he had such meals as were served at the camp only twice each year, and those times were Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hard to Keep Them in Bed. Practically the hardest work Mr.

Jarvis had to do in caring for the boys was to keep them In bed until a reasonable time for them to get up. They are tired enough to sleep well when they went to bed, but the execitement of what waa in store for them the next day caused tnem to awaken early and many of them wished to get up about 4 o'clock. The regular time set for arising was 6 o'clock. One half hour was spent in making beds and cleaning up the camp. Then the boys breakfasted and were permitted to follow their own dictates until noon.

Doing chores, setting the tables, keeping the paths cleaned and providing flowers and mint for the dining room were jobs given to different boys each day. The only requirements for a boy go to the camp was that he be a member of the Indianapolis Boys' Club and make sufficient progress during the year in his work there. Each spring those of the TOO members of the club who would like to go to the camp fill out cards, and from those names, 300 who have done the best work In the club during the year are picked to go. Books Taken to Camp. A large number of books from the Boys' Club library have been taken to the camp and the boys spend many afternoons reading.

A recent bequest gave the club 1.000 volumes of travel books and books of narrative for boys. There were no "taps" at the camp. These are' ecenes at the summer amp of the Indianapolis Rn as it Is known, has provided a place for boys of the streets to spend a wws rish.n other things that boys delight ta do. Evansville Man New Pastor Irvington Methodist Church i i TIIK RKV. W.

B. FARMKK. Mr. Farmer, of EvansVille, is the new pastor of the Irvington Methodist church. The appointment was one of those announced by Bishop Anderson at the Indiana Methodist conference Monday afternoon.

Mr. Farmer comes from the Trinity Methodist church at Kvans ville. where he has been the pastor several years. There was a movement in his behalf for the appointment as district superintendent in either the Indianapolis or Connersville district. He is regarded one of the strong members of the Methodist ministry In the Indiana conference.

following the evening meal a large camp fire was built and the bovs sat around, singing and giving club veils and telling stories until gradually the smaller boys went to bed. then those a little older and the oldest boys last, after thev had talked over the day's pleasures with Mr. Jarvis. The fun of the day was usually so brisk that few of the boys sat up later than 9:30 o'clock, however. Each of the boys had to supply his own cup and metal dishes, which he "took care of during the week at the camp.

He kept them In his own sleeping tent and washed them after every meal in "nature's washbasin." an eddy in Hlnkle creek near the camp. The boys had to pay their own car fare to Noblesville, but the Union Traction Company of Indiana gave them a special rate of 50 cents for a round trip ticket. The camp hay wagon took the fortvboys who had spent their week at the camp to Noblesville each Monday morning' and took the next fortv bovs back for a week's outing. Farmers Were Interested. Farmers in the neighborhood took an active Interest in the camp and saw that an order from the camp for fruits, vegetables, chickens, b'Uter or milk got the best attention.

They frequently let the older boys work for them and paid them for their services. Several of the boys proved to be such good workers that farmers cave them permanent positions and kept them at the farms after the boys' camp week was over. The camp is kept up from monev of the Indianapolis Boys' Club provided bv public spirited men and women of Indianapolis who have the interest of the bovs of the Indianapolis streets at heart. Many kep up regular subsriDtions of suh. (stantial sums of money that the bovs have their outings in the summer and may have training which develops their i minds and bodies the remainder of the year.

hile the Indianapolis Boys' Club is caring for its boys every day in' the week, the average charity looks after its friend only once in a while, say the friends of the organization.
