The Lake Shore News Thursday November 14, 1912 Encouraged Plan of Boys James R. Smart, in Speaking at Opening of Olympic Club Said Sympathy was what Boys Needed. Outline the Work Done Under unfavorable weather condi- tions, but with plenty of enthusiasm the Evanston Olympic Club was opened to the public Wednesday at an in- formal reception held in the club rooms in the city hall. Despite the rain, more than 200 were present, in- lding a goodly number of the boys themselves. James Russell Smart, former presi- dent of the Evanston Commercial as- sociation, chairman the finance committee of the club and instigator of the club itself, presided, and in a few brief words explained the reason of the establishment of the club, what it intended to do and what the boys themselves have already accom- plished. He then introducedd Mayor Joseph B. Paden, who spoke to the boys and their parents on behalf of the city. Presi- dent C. D. Macpherson of the Commercial association told of the work done by the members of his association to- ward establishing the club, and he was followed by Prof. John A. Scott, who told the boys the results they could obtain from being interested in some- thing. Short talks were also made by Prof. Solon C. Bronson of Garrett Bib- lical institute, President E. U. Kimbark of the Chicago Association of Commerce, and Col. C, H. Ketridge, a member of the association and one of the most enthusiastic promoters of the organization Smart tells of organization. In telling of the organization of the club, Chairman Smart said the Idea originated at a meeting of the ways and means committee of the Commer- cial association, at which time the question came up as to where the boys who are employed in the city and are not members of the Y. M. C.A. and other, boys' organisations spent their time in the evening. This reulted in the organisation of a com- mittee, which was followed by the naming of a finance committee. This committee, he said, set out to obtain $2,500 for the club. To date they have secured slightly more than $1,000. He then told of the amount of money given by Evanston residents each year to charity and asked wheter or not they followed up their gifts and found just where their money had gone and the amount of good it had accomplished. Lots of the young men and boys of city are in need of help," said Mr. Smart. "It is not a $5 bill that they want. Sympathy, a few kind words and a little soulful encouragement are what they desire. They are all real diamonds, though some are slightly rough. A warm handshake when you meet them on the street, a word of en- couragement and praise,is what they hungry for. Will Make Good Citizens. They will all make good citizens if they are properly, treated. They want to know that people are inter- ested in them. They don't want some- body to give money, believing when they have done that that their respon- sibility is ended. A handshake or a kind words will go further with these boys than will money given without the right kind of spirit back of it. "I believe if the people of this city would show the interest in this club that they should that little difficulty would be encountered in raising the desired amount. The citizens should come here, look over the building, see what the boys are doing and interest themselves in the boys themselves. en, I believe, they would be more than willing to help out when a re- quest for money was made." Following the talks by the speakers; President C. D. MacPherson called Ed- ward B. Reed, president of the newly organised club, to the platform and presented him with the charter of the the club. The youthful officer made a few appropriate remarks in response. A general reception followed with apples as refreshments. SHERMAN AVE. MEN.
