Under Flanagan's direction, Boys Town grew to be a large community with its own boy-mayor, schools, chapel, post office, cottages, gymnasium, and other facilities where boys between the ages of 10 and 16 could receive an education and learn a trade. Flanagan did not believe in the reform school model, and stated, "there's no such thing as a bad boy." Flanagan died in 1948. A 1938 film starring Spencer Tracy, Boys Town was based on the life of Flanagan and Tracy won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance.
