It is being more and more generally recognized that the most success¬ 
ful method of creating interest in any worthy cause is to organize the 
children in the work. Their enthusiasm will soon interest their parents 
and friends. 
In order to create more general cooperation, resulting in more 
effective work in cleaning up and beautifying the cities and villages 
throughout America, we have developed plans for a national organization 
to be known as the NATIONAL JUNIOR CLEAN-UP LEAGUE. 
The national headquarters to supply general information, member¬ 
ship certificates, by-laws, membership cards, buttons, badges, etc. Each 
school, town, or community may organize branch leagues, and will be 
supplied with full information for organizing and planning clean-up 
campaigns. 
To each league will be furnished one large Certificate of Member¬ 
ship, suitable for framing, one copy of Constitution and By-Laws, together 
with general instructions, all free of charge. 
Membership cards for each boy and girl to sign will be supplied at 
cost, viz 20 cents per hundred cards postpaid. 
Buttons like either of the above will be supplied in any quantity at 
one cent each, delivered. If you wish the name of your city inserted 
in place of “OUR CITY” the cost will be consideribly higher, varying 
according to quantity ordered, and will require about ten days, as they 
must be made to order. 
We will also send a free copy of our little clean-up story, entitled 
“WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH BURTON”, which should be read 
to the children and will help to create enthusiasm. 
We have designated the last week in April, ending May 1st, as the 
week for a National CLEAN-UP Campaign. .Saturday May 1st to be 
the great day, or if only one day is devoted to the work let it be this date, 
as there being no school on Saturdays, the children can devote the entire 
day to the work. 
Success will depend largely on thorough organization. Divide the 
city or community into sections, appointing a captain over each section, 
who should map out the work, arrange with some drayman or liveryman 
who will generally be glad to help the good work along by furnishing 
a horse and wagon for the day. The children should gather the rubbish 
together, and help to load it onto the wagons.
