HOMELESS BOYS TRAINED
TO BE AGRICULTURISTS
st. JOseph's Institute at Rutherford,
Napa County, Is Accomplishing
COmmendable Work.


St. Joseph's Agricultural Institute at
Rutherford. which is now starting on
its third year, has already proved that
it is an Indispensable adjunct of the
Youths Directory. Untold good is be-
ing done by the institution. There the
useful and healthy work of the farm is
taught to boys, who might otherwise
swell the ranks of the unemployed and
vicious in the cities. Father d. O.
Crowley of the Youths Directory real
lied the necessity of a place of this
SORT several years ago and it was
through his efforts that the big Ruth
erford farm was bought. He saw that
there were opportunities outside of
the trades and professions for the
homeless lads taken in by the Youths
Directory.
At Rutherford hundreds of boys are
being trained to be agriculturists. AS
The Call said editorially when the pro-
ject was first started: THE movement
to carry boys back to the land and
give them a training for scientific
farming is in line with the trend of
thought of the most earnest men and
women of our time That the State
needs scientific agriculturists is adj
mitted generally. ST. Joseph's Agri-
cultural School is preparing to supply
that want. The Xavierian Brothers
have charge of the education of the
embryo farmers.
