Boyville: A History of Fifteen Years' Work Among Newsboys

This work chronicles fifteen years of organizing and supporting street newsboys, blending anecdote, practical guidance, and institutional history. It traces the formation of local associations and auxiliaries, describes charitable initiatives such as holiday dinners and relief efforts, and records educational and disciplinary programs including cadet and band units, parades, and public festivals. Personal sketches and case studies illustrate daily routines, challenges, and reforms, while rolls of honor and organizational details document successes and setbacks. The narrative emphasizes youth welfare, civic engagement, and preventive social work aimed at offering structure, training, and community support to keep boys from drifting into criminal paths.
