Adelaide - Boys' Brigade and Allied Associations
An opinion of "Our Boys" is expressed in the Register,25 September 1883, page 6b:
-
[The employers] expect them to keep honest on small salaries, yet they never
attempt to stop the ever-growing vice - drink. The government, also banks,
I maintain, ought to have specially employed a detective who would report
any offender who was found to be giving way to riotous living... What is
wanted is intellectual amusements, debating societies, etc, and down with
hotel drinking and tobacco smoking.
