This is an outgrowth of the Newsboys'
Home, started some time ago. It aims to
give the boys home that is so, not only
III name but in fact, where they will have
not only food and shelter and the care
which boys with homes receive from
their parents and relatives; place where
they will have friends to interest them
cOlxr in NfNfAf frafr. ,N,1~
they are able to do it, and to which they
can return when in distress or trouble of
any kind.
A special branch of the work is the
training department, where the bows NAV
be taught useful occupations. A photo
graphic department is in good running
order and on a paying basis at the present
time, and the boy managers turn out
some very creditable work Besides this
the lads are doing considerable amount
of developing and printing for outside
parties. The printing Office is almost
ready to open up, thanks to several dona-
tions of type and material during the
past week. A further enterprise is the
mattress repairing and upholstering de-
partment, which will be ready for bust
ness in few days.
A number of boys are in the building at
the present time, and several have already
gone to good places secured through the
good offices of friends of the home.
Arrangements have been completed for
the publication of monthly paper de-
voted to the interests of the boys and girls
of California, the proceeds of which will
go toward the support of the home. and
1T is hoped that it will not be long before
the entire work on the "Pacific YOUTH
will be done in the home by the boys.
No one connected with the institution
receives any salary or com pensation. 1t
has very efficient lady in charge in the
person of Mrs. jackson. The mechanical
department is in charge of Mr.. autchin-
son, who has had experience in the News
boys Home in Los Angeles and other
similar institutions elsewhere.
The Photographic departments is under
the care of Master Philip Carman. who
has demonstrated his ability in the past
few weeks.
Every Thursday night newsboys' club
meets at the home, where they are enter
tanned and refreshments are served. It is
proposed to organize a similar club for
boys in the near future.
Though the work of getting the lnstitu-
ton on its feet has been done in a very
quiet manner, 1t has already become pretty
well known, and numerous donations Of
cash and material for the various depart-
ments have been received, which have
enabled the managers to do more than
could have been expected with the little
given their plans
