structing kindly railroad conductors where
to ship them. They have come from ev
ery state of the union.
One day last summer a little lad in rags
walked into Boys Town.
“Where's Father Flanagan?” he asked
tremulously.
Taken to Father Flanagan, he said:
“Here I am, Father. I aint got no home.
My mother’s dead and my father drinks
all the time. The man who runs the cf
gar store in our town told me about Boys
"Town and you. I aint got no place else
I bummed a ride on a truck
That's the way poor, helpless boys come
to Boys Town. Somebody has to take
care of them. There they are fed and
clothed, educated, kept until they are able
and ready to make their own way in the
‘world
And they do make their way in the
world. 4,446 have done that in the past
nineteen years. All of these boys today
re successful, self-sustaining citizens. Not
a single one is in a jail or penitentiary.
