In studying children and the work being done for them he came to the conclusion that giving the children everything they needed free, tended to increase pauperism among them. While thinking over a remedy for this he con- ceived the idea of starting a junior re- public modeled after the U. S. Govern- ment, and in 1895 put his ideas into opera- tion. The plan worked so well and so much general interest was aroused that the work was at once incorporated and placed on a permanent basis.
