The Lithuanian youth in Chicago organizd a new club which is known as Regal Lithuanian club. This club has forty members at the present time. The members of this club are mostly young follows from Chicago who became very interested in having their own place for physical training.

Last week this club held its first regular meeting at which the members discussed the affairs of the club and its great value to Lithuanian youth.

At this meeting the members decided to organise their club on lines similar to those of Bohemian sokols. They appointed Frank Morkus, who has come from Riga, Latvia, as their instructor in gymnastics and wrestling. Some of the members disagreed on the name of the club, for it looked to them too aristocratic and inappropriate. Finally the members 2 agreed to change the name of the club, and the committee requested them to submit a new name at the next meeting. Other nationalities have similar clubs in Chicago, so why can't we have some athletic club for our young people to spend their leisure hours? Moreover, there are two great advantages in having some sort of athletic club for young people: the first advantage is to develop them physically and mentally, the second to keep them off the streets and stop them from associating with a bad crowd. All young men like athletic sports which develop them physically, and we cannot deny to them the privileges of participating in various field of sports. We should encourage them more and help them to organize various sports in order to keep their minds occupied. It is a well known fact that no mother or father would like to see his or her children running around the streets and associating with bad company. The only way to protect the young people from frequenting bad company is 3 is to keep then busy during their leisure hours. Parents must take an interest in their children and their various activities, whether sports or social functions. Then you will arouse their interests and ambitions and at the same time your children will admire you more and will become more obedient to you. Young people always like to be noticed and commented upon by their parents for their activities in all the fields of sports and social circles. The parents should always give credit to their children and praise than for their good work. Encourage them to play clean in sports and to play a clean game in life. In order to please your children you yourself must take interest in their various games. If all the parents took more interest in their children and helped them in their various activities, the children would be much better and the parents would be proud of then in the future. The children cannot mold their own character without the inspiration and the help of their parents. The child's environment molds his character, and that environment must be made by the parents. In order to inspire children, parents must make for them first a good environment at home, because a home is the proper place for molding 4 children's characters. All parents should encourage their young men to join the new club and help to organize larger and more active clubs for Lithuanian young people, and the parents will receive their reward for their efforts in the nature.
