The Boys’ Welfare Foundation, an association of eighteen agencies which are youth-serving recreational centres representative of all denominations in the Borough of Brooklyn, has arranged to hold a conference Monday evening, at eight o’clock, in the auditorium of the Polytechnic Institute, 99 Livingston street, Brooklyn.
Supreme Court Justice James C. Cropsey is president of the Foundation and Municipal Court Justice Nathan Sweedler is chairman of the Boy and Church Committee. The other officers are the Reverend John Saunders and City Judge Louis Goldstein, vice-presidents; Samuel N. Cummings, secretary.
The purpose of the gathering is to discuss what can be done to make church and synagogue more inspiring to boys and what steps may be taken to transfer the urge of boys to congregate on street corners and in amusement halls to attending religious centres as a place of recreation under the proper environment.
