Crest ana WOrK mas already begun Oh
the excavations for that building. 1t
is hoped that it may be completed by
the time of the October meeting. The
building is to be of frame, and will be
about 20x40 feet in sizeS 1t will have
a blacksmith shop in one end and a
carpenter shop in the other. The plans
are being made by w. II. Lepper, and
lumber and other materials are being
donated for the purpose besides the
money raised by the club women dur
ing the past year.
The Canyon Crest movement started
by the club women now nearly two
years ago at Springville. has become a
reality, largely through the Efforts OF
few devoted and unselish women
who have mOthered the idea, and also
the poor homeless boys who have
found life in more abundance than
they had ever known it in the pure air
and the wholesome environment there.
The work done by these women has
been only slowly recognized by the peo-
pie at large, but the recognition is COM
ing. Late in August a delegation of
the Salt Lake principals and super
visors, led by Miss Rosalie Pollock,
visited the ranch, going out in convey
ances hired for the purpose. Needless
to say they saw a work the proportions
of which they had never even guessed
at; and they were not slow to express
their cordial approval. Not content
with that las some more able have
been), they sent on their return a
check for $50 for the good of the cause.
An effort is being made to have the
members OF the board of education see
the work. The boys now there are
Salt Lake boys, who have been either
put out or kept out of the city schools,
Il l, IT,
no prospect of a school because there
are no funds for a teacher. Neither is
there an assured income for any pur-
pose, and the late storms of the past
summer added to by the grasshOppers
blighted a crop of small cucumbers
planted to fill an $500 contract with a
pickle company. Despite all this, the
boys are thriving and there is a good
living assured them. The big new shop
win provide a practical education for
them, and the club women hope to be
able to do more for them still at the
federation meeting.
