BIG BROTHER MOVEMENT.
VALUABLE WORK DONE.
HOW BOYS ARE HELPED
At the board meeting of the Y.M.C.A. last evening Mr. C. 11. Furness said the. public was not aware of the useful work being undertaken by the Big Brother Movement. Mr. C. J. Tunks said that since its inception in 1926 a total of 421 boys who had been before the Children's Court had been passed on to the Y.M.C.A. and the association had issued to each boy a free membership, and had arranged for an older man to take an interest in the boy. The movement was not 100 per cent, effective, but the percentage of the boys who appeared again before the Children's Court was very low, and the system was a decided improvement on the old system of probation.
