by Secretary f. J. Kane. Following the
report is a statement issued by Father
Crowley. which shows that the highest
number OF boys ever entertained by the
directory during one twelvemonth was
about 525. But" continues the report,
ALREADY in the current year, with six
months of it yet to run, we have lodged
267 children. Allowing the same mum Der
for the latter half of the year the total
should mount up to 534. But in the
winter months we receive a greater num-
Der than in the warmer season. and be-
tween September 1, 1895, and March 1,
1897 we snail probably be obliged 10 find
beds and food for 800 boys.
"These figures are silent in regard to the
many for whom We have obtained shelter
in other institutions. Our capacity is
limited, and until we can build a larger
home we must stand still. We trust our
need of more room Will not long remain
unsupplied."
In detail Secretary Kane's report is as
follows:
