Presidents Repcrt. t''
The retiring president, Mrs. L. L.
McCandless read very interesting
report which was as follows:
THE statement OF the secretary
and the treasurer, together with that
Of the special agent are so compre-
hensive and complete as. to make any
further remarks almost superfluous
were 1t not for the fact that the presi-
ding officer for the past year wishes
To, report on some, matters that have
net been accomplished
THE agents report deals with such
cases as have come under her d.
rect attention, but we must not lose
sight Of the fact that great good has
been accomplished by the commits
stoned officers, the educational com
Iiiittee and from the growth and de-
veiOpmeIt or tins good seeds s0wn
during tie early struagie of the Ha:
,salian Humane Society. :
sDufanE the first part OF the year
our president Nils Dole, was travel
ing abroad. hence my excuse: for adj
dressing Won tcdaN ! but u wish 10 say
that immediately upon her return she
became active IN every spfaseiof tina
work. -Slfg5 si; ~ &,
In considering de COOPERATION and
kindly assistance from the citizens Of
H0nolulu both ia q. friendly and ma
teriai way, I can say that the officers
have stFiten E6nscientions1y to main
tain the high standard Of effective
work established during the first years
OF the organization. We had hoped
during the year to- establish similar
or branch societies on. the other ISL
andsI but the conditions Of CDR
finances has thus far prevented our
extending the work materially beyond
our own city. AS we have no printed
constitution, let me quote from Article
III, the first object OF the Hawaiian
Humane Society:
a.The purposes Of the society are:
First To provide effective means for
the prevention Of cruelty to children
throughout the territory of Hawaii:
to provide temporary homes FOR vag-
rant, destitute and EXPOSED children
Of tender age and for providing for
these such other or further relief as
may be advisable for Tescuing them
from moral ruin ~ 3
AS to this purpose OF the society
i am pleased to note that there arc
other Societies here working ! along
siiiailarl lifcs, md. fin some respects,
the work paraiiefs. But without III
any mariner ref1ecting upon the eKi
cefient work done by our agent or BY
the societY,..l beg to cali yoiIf atten-
ton to the need 6f even greater effort
In this direction to obtain greater and
better results than. al the societies
combined are aoc0nipli fishing at the
present time.
sIrl concIusion.s therefore, would
suggest, first. that special endeayor
be made to extShd the. work tt other
parts Of the, {ef1itpf and, second,
without going into detail, ! would suge
gest more drastic !. activity and yigi-
lance ID regard to- the protection OF
IN guarded children -
