To Felix and Anja
It seems as though boys live a sort of double life, not only the practical, real life of to-day, but the life of the fancy. I remember once I was going away to give a little talk, and as I came downstairs and stepped into my wifes room, I noticed a very funny odor, as though something were burning. I came into the chamber, and I saw a company of little people grouped over a gas stove I didnt know what they were doing, but I thought I could discern a smell of smoked halibut. I was told I was mistaken, it was venison; I had come across a hunting party, under their mothers leadership, camping on the prairies of Wyoming.
William Byron Forbush, 1914
A Junior Republic is a Community, the citizens of which are boys and girls in other respects it is just the same in all essentials as any community in the United States of America the whole point of the Junior Republic is to develop the inhabitants of an institution or community under conditions approximating as closely as possible the actual conditions which they must face in real life to develop the character of each individual simultaneously with the development of the social consciousness of the whole group.
