PRESIDENT KEENAN, AND THE NEwsBoYs
HOMIE

HOME.
The inception and progress of the de-
sign make up sort of romance, and to
no one is more credit due than to Mr..
T. J. keenan,, president of the home and
member Of the board of managers from
the start, who has been a newspaper
man some Is years and is editor and one
of the proprietors of the Pittsburg Press.
The Press has contributed about $4,000
and served as the principal agent in col
lecting the $50, 600 needed to insure the
construction of the home. Mr.. Keenan,
was born in Pittsburg in 1859 and has
been increasingly active both as citizen
and journalist in all good work for his
native city.
The plan for such home had its ORR
gin at meeting held on Sunday, March
Is, 1885, at which Thomas P. Druitt,
present superintendent of the home, pre-
sided, and just eight years later the
building was dedicated with social pro-
ceedings and so called house warming
which an enthusiastic journalist de-
scribed as ssthe SWEETEST society event of
| the kind since the famous sanitary fair
during the war" This is not merely a
home for the boys in the ordinary accep-
tation, but contains Sunday school room,
bathroom, gymnasium, reading room,
music-in short, everything to human
ize and cheer the weary young fellows.
