o. r. johnson building. with e. A.
Childs, superintendent, in charge. The
officers are making a strenuous cam
paign for funds for the larger republic
which 1t has become necessary TO es-
tablish superintendent Childs said re-
Gently that more than five hundred
boys could be gathered into the repub-
lie II there was room. Calls are COM
ing from all quarters for admission.
Judge Wilbur and others, who know
whereof they speak, are of the opinion
that no greater or better institution
exists for the training of boys. the
books of the republic show that up TO
date but a little over one thousand
dollars has been raised in this city.
Since Los Angeles has more than one
half of the population now at the re-
public, and since Los Angeles people
projected and helped to organize the
institution, it seems q plain PROPOSE
tion of responsibility and privilege to
the people of this city. Daddy"
George, the founder of the first repub-
lie. is expected to be here some time
soon to deliver a series of lectures on
the advanced plans and policies of the
republic idea. o. 7. Johnson has re-
Gently pledged $1,000 toward the $4,000
dollars needed to meet the payment
on the land, provided the rest shall be
raised in a limited time. The republic
should have 100000 within a year. that
it may build the necessary buildings
and make the most necessary improve
ments. Mr.. Childs is asking the FEEDER
ated churches to build a chapel for the
republic. This is a pressing need at
this time, since the boys have all TOO
little to uplift and ennoble their minds
aside from the routine of their toll.
