Yet in a city wh',re s much is to be done as here complete success cannot be hoped for from prevention alone. Many of the children of the elums aimltate evil, from tlieir'suiToundingj in, apite of nil (hat can be done to help them against themaelves, Soor.cr or later they commit en offence agnlr.nt law and order many timei only a minor offence but stdi one thatySociHy cannot overlook fr Its good or their. Then they cms from the world of freedom into a land of captivity whither" alo find their way rcoren of youthful unfortunates who, Innocent of any wrong doing themaelves, must be protected agaimit cruel or r.eglectfu! par ents or rescued from the demoralizing in- fUiences of bad family aociation. Curioiixly enough, however, the hitman mites wholuive come into this estate of reotialut through the Juvenile. Court are among the floppiest of New York's" tene ment children it Cbrutmas time, and for that matter, during all the rest of the year. At, leaet, this eurely is true of those who find themselves in one of thoe institutions which have adopted modern reformative tnethoda for young delinquent! ,nnd have moved out into the country when wholesome air and God sunshine work miracles in human nature that were finpoib!e in the cramped, pri nonlike quarters of other days that at their iest could not keep the little feet from straying on the pavements.

The ritixens of this model village range in aae from three years to eighteen, two of the cottages being given exclusively to the use of children under bijc. The co lony now numbers 320 litle people, and as fastas funds are obtained ror we work, other houses wil be built until a thousand youngsters can be cared for. Anything approaching a real Christmas is new to these children of the streets and slums. Last year some of them were selling papers late into the night, eating a scanty meal bought from a push cart peddler and sleeping in a dirty tenement room or on the sidewalk where little comfort can be found by one who curled his weary body on the grating over some warm cellnrway. At the Village Christ mas Eve "will be spetit before big open fines in the living rooms of the cottages, with games, co,rn-popping, laughter and excited anticipation of the morrow. Dawii will find each villager snugly tucked in a small white bed which he has come to call his own, and the rising hour will mark the beginning of a round of fun. An entertainment, in which the boy take part, and the distribution of presents fow scheduled for tlie forenoon. After that there is to be a genuine, old-fashioned Christmas dinner with "turkey and fix- ins," and in the afternoon there will be more presents for some, since friends and relatives have been invited to share the festivities, coming on a special train from the city, twenty miles away. The visitors, moreover, will not return empty handed, ifor many gifts have been fashioned! by the boys working spare moments in the trades shops, or have been bought with the merit money it is possible for a lad to earn by exemplary conduct. The amount seems small a cent for perfect conduct and satisfactory progress in studies, but that it is given at all is characteristic of the methods of the modern asylum. There are no harsh repressive methods for forcing boys into a certain mold but all along the line tney are stimulated toward excellence and en couraged to develop individuality, to be happy and healthy, in short to be, just normal children. Punishment is the last resort to be used after a denial of privi leges incident to good behavior, such as individual bed rooms, and greater free dom in playtime. ;; , . ; . : . , , ' Two things are ardently: desired by every boy at the village for Christmhs Day. These are (fine snow on the hills about the cottages and ice on the several ponds In the city these things were of little consequence since the opportunity to enjoy them Was absent. Now. how ever, former strecb boys have become country lad with a keen love for out door sports which they are given every opportunity to enjoy, The best that the village doe for its ehargei when they have been mad over and fitted with healthy bodies and minds is to send them wet w here upon farm they are freed once for all of the evils of the city environment. Some 7MX children have thus far been assisted in this way, and the record for those who have been placed on farm since the Ay luracSanged over to the village type several year ago show that all but a fraction of one per cent are in a fair way to become valuable citizens. For these, s well as lor the waifs still t the Vill-' age, Christmas is but a red letter day ilong the road to new experience, Th pint of tlie day symbolizes th work of the "eonta't point.' ; TBANSPOKTATIOH.
