The object of this Company is to combine under one
maagement the separate, but naturally co-operative,
businesses of keepers of lodging and boarding-houses and
public and private Hotels.
This combination, by which the profits of each will be
enhanced, is intended to be carried out at that recently
established and most attractive watering-place, West
Worthing.
A provisional agreement has been entered into for the
lease of the two newly-erected mansions, which, being
built in flats, are admirably adapted for the purpose, and
the Heene Hotel for a term of 99 years, and the purchase
of the trade and furniture and stock of the hotel at a cost
to this Company, including all preliminary expenses, of
.f. 40,000. In addition, the sum of £lO,OOO will be required
for furniture for the mansions - and additional stock and
working capital. This amount may be raised under the
borrowing powers of the Company ; it will therefore only
be necessary for present arrangements to call up 40 per
cent. of the share capital.
The Company has been constituted with the larger capi-
tal solely with the view of extending their operations, when
the investment has proved to be as remunerative as it is
now anticipated it will be. During the time the Hotel has
been already in operation it has become evident that it is
Capable of largely increasing its business by the addition
of more bedroom accommodation, which may bo obtained
at a small outlay.
The splendid esplanades, pleasure-grounds, baths, and
other places of public resort and amusement, which are in
progress, coupled with the beauty of the surrounding
country, the walks and drives in its vicinity, the salubrity
of its climate the ease with which it will be reached from
,London by a the
line of railway and train service, which
It is the determination of the West Worthing Investment
Company to secure, must bring the new watering-place
lido favour as soon as it has become generally known that
good accommodation for visitors has been provided.
A large class of:sea-side visitors will?gladly avail them-
selves of the comfort, economy, and liberal treatment which
they may fairly expect at the hands of a public Company
3111 such matters as the occupation of apartments and the
victualling departments, in preference to that which they
can look for under the existing system.
Although the Heene Hotel has been fully occupied since
it Was opened, no goodwill or promotion money will be
Paid for the formation of the Company. The enterprise,
Which is of a bona fide character, is always in operation, and
a return will be iminelliately realised by the shareholders.
After .carAfttl_ oonsitieratioti of datuneti estimates, -rue
Directors (have no hesitation in recording their opinion,
that the profits will prove sufficient to pay highly satisfac-
tory dividends.

The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till
they are 11 years of age.
With the view to secure the election of the most deserving
cases, the Commit' e have from the first discouraged canvas-
sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers.
The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care-
ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa-
tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to
those most eligible for free admission.
This Home was opened in April, 18M. It was designed to
take is the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those
who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are
those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and
left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose
parents may have at one time or other received parish relief,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who
train their children in the same path. Such are those whose
evil associations have already had their painful effect, and
must lead them to a life of crime and misery.
There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 ). and the Committee
would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait
for the necessary subscriptions.
The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who
cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir-
cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they
ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
lite because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs
wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to
tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not
help her to put one of them into a Home. but that they must
ail go into " the house ?" Is it doing the b met we can for the
little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it
doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when
these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into
the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "Inn away,"
none of us shou'd be found to care for them, to speak a kindly
word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th^m ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's
keeper?"
The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi-
dent from the police statistics, which show that in London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of
age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom
were convicted sad punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis-
charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too
young to punish. though not too young to learn thebeginnings
of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but
for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must
otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli-
ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State.
The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established
to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the
one hand, and the workhouse on the other, ar.A to endeavour
to make them useful members of society.
The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea-
tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones
are cared for as children ; they hate their regular meals,
their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement,
and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every
morning is devoted to Rho,' work—reading, and writing,
and ciphering*, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional
lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also
trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early
period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow,
they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after-
noons are occupied with various industrial occupations—
making brown paper bags for bankers, and white I aper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any
who will buy them; picking the coil for the mats, mending
the c other, Acc. Some assisc the master in the garden,
digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By
degreee they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing
and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots,
knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active
working life.

Yid. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance.
All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of
admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any
time as soon as approved by the Committee,
Elections of children to be ad.aitted free will take place as
frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will
admit, till the Home is full; they will then be held periodi-
cally
Forms of application for the admission of children may be
hat at the Home, and of the Honorary Secret.►ry,
