Presideat's Report. .a. ,.<.
The retiring president, Mrs. l.. l..
MoCandless read a 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 superfMous
were it not for the fact that the presi-
ding officer for the past year wishes
to report on some matters that have
not been accomplished. u F..
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.

| In considering the cooperation and

Honolulu both in a, friendly and ma

during the year to establish similar

extending the work materially beyond
our own city. AS we have no printed
constitution. let me quote. from Article
ii, the first object OF the Hawaiian
Humane Society; ,.,- n So, r.; ID
1.-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 yag-
rant, destitute. and exposed children
of tender age and for providing for
these such other or further relief as
may be advisable for rescuing them
from moral ruin = =. ~ s..-..'
'tAs to this purpose of the society
am pleased to- note that there are
other societies here working along
similar lines, and, In some respects,
the work parallels, But without in
any manner Rejecting upon the ex-
cellent work done by our agent or by
the society, beg to call your atten-
ton to the, need of even greater effort
in this, direction. to obtain greater and
better results than all the societies
combined are eomplishing at the
present time. - ! ~ 49,. ...s.a r. -,
In conclusion. therefore, would
suggest. first, that special endeavor
be made to extend the work to other
parts of the territory, and. second,
without going, into detail. woald sug-
gest more drastic activity and, Ffgi-
lance in regard to the protection, OF
unguarded children" 1s1.s.~ .,.. =. -.

past year. 1t was as follows:
Miss DayisOn's report as humane
officer is as follows. =. >, 80

and animals. :, g.: So 4. -. ..t$ss.
1.-THE society has rescued children
that are. abused and neglected, chan.
geds home influences which proceed

child, prosecuted those who are guilty

"The same may be said of animals.

inspection at Stock. :.
Visiting stables, inspecting stock
and giving such advice as seemed to
be necessary has helped largely to
decrease cruelty. There are over 60
stables in the city. Three hundred
visits have been made to the various
