I n New York city they have siarted the “Bi& Brothers Move ment.” Its plan is “one man to each boy” and its idea is» “A boy in the open is cheaper than a boy in jail.” Its object is to attempt by a new method to save those boys who are being allowed to raise themselves in the city. The method is to make it one man’s business to see that some one boy is given a chance. One man becomes a big brother to one boy. The plan has been wonderfully successful. Think, too, of its success i n preserving in the big brothers the spirit of boyhood. What a fine idea, to apply this plan in attending the Confederate Veterans’ Reunion at Macon next year. Let every young man find one big brother among theold vet erans and see that such one goes to the reunion and enjoys it b y going with him. How helpful and inspiring t o one of the younger generation i t would be, if he could but camp, as it were, even for a few days with one of the boys of the sixties, be come his comrade, and so enter into a far better understanding of his sufferings and trials and thoughts than any other method would allow. And let those younger ones who cannot go to the reunion send a veteran as a substitute by sub scribing liberally t o a fund for sending those who have not the means themselves.
