Conference For The Welfare Of The Youth Of Manchester 
Editor The Breeze: 
At the meeting of the Parent-Teach- 
er association held Oct. 23, requests 
were presented that the association 
use its offices to secure a conference 
with the other town organizations, 
_ with reference to the larger welfare 
of the young people of Manchester. 
The Executive Board took the mat- 
ter in hand, and on Nov. 11 letters 
_ were sent to all the organizations of 
the town, asking them to appoint dele- 
gates for this conference. ‘The first 
meeting was held November 18, at 
which time the purpose of the confer- 
ence was stated, viz: to make suggest- 
ions for the larger interests of the 
_ young people of the town. After a 
full discussion of the conditions ex- 
_ isting, a committee consisting of Supt. 
John C. Mackin, Frank Foster, Rev. 
A. G. Warner, Mrs. O. M. Stanley 
and Miss Lila G Goldsmith was ap- 
pointed to prepare a set of resolutions 
embodying the suggestions of the 
meeting. 
This committee made its report 
December 2, and the first two of the 
appended resolutions were approved 
and accepted. The third was return- 
ed to the committee for further chan- 
ges. 
The committee made its final report 
Wednesday evening, when the reso- 
lutions in form appearing were ac- 
cepted and endorsed by the organiza- 
tions represented. 
The conference was called by re- 
quest of citizens of the town, and has 
considered its work to be that of sug- 
gestion. At its final meeting there 
was present a committee consisting of 
Messrs. F. Smith, F. Floyd, and Gor- 
don Northrup, from the Young Men’s 
Athletic Association, organized De- 
cember s. This committee presented 
a carefully prepared plan by which 
these resolutions could be carried into 
effect in our town. This plan has al- 
ready been published in connection 
with the report of the organization of 
the Young Men’s Athletic club. 
It is hoped that the plan will receive 
the careful attention, consideration, 
_and support of the people of the town, 
that the advantages hoped to he de- 
rived from it may become actual as 
early as posible. 
; Resolutions. 
Whereas, there has been unneces- 
sary carlessness and thoughtlessness 
on the part of some uf the young peo 
ple of the town, in their conduct in 
public places and in their treatment 
of private property, we, the organiza- 
tions of the town, interested in the 
highest moral welfare of its youth, 
deem these actions wholly unworthy 
of them, and beg to submit the fol- 
lowing resolutions :— 
1. Resolved; That such conduct 
be suppressed, both by the exertion of 
proper parental influence and by the 
wise co-operation of the officials of 
the town. 
2. Resolved; That cigarette-smok- 
ing is a menace to our schoolboys, and 
that the selling or giving of tobacco 
in any form to them, should be dis- 
continued. 
(Sec. 3, Chap. 346, Revised Laws 
Mass. ) 
“Whoever sells a cigarette to a 
person under eighteen years of 
age, or whoever sells snuff or to- 
bacco in any of its forms 
to a person under sixteen years 
of age, or, not being his parent 
or guardian, gives a cirgarette to 
a person under eighteen years of 
age, or gives snuff or tobacco in 
any of its forms to a person under 
sixteen years of age, shall be pun- 
ished by a fine of not more than 
fifty dollars.” 
3. Resolved: That there is an ur- 
gent need in the town of an assembly- 
place for the young people, where in- 
door athletics may be encouraged, and 
other desirable forms of recreation 
enjoyed, and that we, the undersigned 
organizations are favorable to any 
plan that will bring about the desired 
results:

The prompt action of Officer Thom- 
as Sheehan last Saturday brought to 
-an end the career of two young boys 
fron Marblehead who have been caus- 
ing the police all along the. North 
Shore considerable trouble of late. 
Officer Sheehan saw two . strange 
youngsters go by his house on Tappan 
street and becoming suspicious he fol- 
lowed them. He later found they had 
broken into the E. G. Black house, off 
Sea street. He caught one of them 
on the piazza and the other got away 
but was later caught and both were 
locked up. The boys names we keep 
out of print for the sake of their 
youthfulness. One was 15 the other 
16. They confessed to breaks in Mar- 
blehead and Gloucester, and also one 
other house at  Manchester,—the 
Wetherbee cottage. 
They were bailed out Sunday by 
their fathers, who had been apprised 
of the action of the Manchester police 
by the Marblehead chief. In court 
yesterday the older of the boys was 
sent to Concord reformatory, the 
other was sentenced to the Lyman 
school, but he was! et go on probation 
for one year. 
Officer Sheehan has been receiving 
much praise for his good work, not 
only from Manchester people, but 
from Gloucester and Marblehead, 
where the boys have been breaking 
and entering for some weeks, without 
apprehension.
