A Descriptive Study of the Environment of the Members of the Boys' Club of New York Enrolled at William Carey Camp, Jamesport, New York, as an Aid to Counselors in Guidance Towards More Effective Social Living
Abstract
Healthier, happier, more useful citizens is a big order. To meet this demand there are at the present time some four hundred Boys Club plants in operation in this country. Each of these is situated in a strategic area wherein the supply - boys - is unlimited. Because of their locations the Boys Clubs have been able to fill the demand most adequately. Of these plants the Boys Club of New York has the longest tenure of service. It has been in this business for almost seventy-five years, having 2 been founded by Edward H. Harriman in 1876. Like that of most of the Clubs its location and objectives have been dictated by the needs of the greatest number of boys. in order to assure a greater output two plants are maintained by the Boys Club of New York, one in the East Harlem District at 321 East 111th Street, known as the Jefferson Park Building, and the other on the Lower East Side, the parent club, known as the Tompkins Square Building, at 287 East 10th Street. The author has been associated with the parent club for the past three years.
