clubs The employed boys depart
ment has been especially successful
during the past year, reaching the
boys on four sides: physical, educa-
tional, social and religious.
Newcomers
We have made a special effort dur.
ing the year just closed to meet the
young men who are new arrivals In
this city, and we have met with a
gratifying degree of success. They
want jobs, rooms, meals, friends, ad-
vice, place to socialize and many
other things which the association is
able to furnish them.
Goals Reached
Last fall several committeeman set
goals to be reached on May LIST of
this year. Let me call your attention
to the following results: Member
ship goal, 1900; reached. 1852. Bible
Classes goal, 200; reached, 259.
Physical Work goal, 400; reached,
400. Educational-goa 300: reached,
300. We did not discover that we had
reached the last goal until we made
the final report. l also wish to men,
ton three especially significant
pieces of work which the association
has accomplished during the past
year.
Vocational Guidance - President
Trent appointed two commissions, one
to study the opportunities of employ
ment for boys, and the other to study
vocational guidance and find out where
1t would best fit in with the work OF
the association The result of the
work of these commissions, in cooper
alton with the commissioners of edu-
cation, was the adoption in the last
legislature OF House Resolution No. So.

tional work in the islands
DR.. Sperry's Visit - DR.. Lyman B.
Sperry, the famous sex hygiene lec-
turer and writer. was brought to Homo
lulu by the association to give series
of IA lectures on sex matters. Hun
dreds OF men and boys heard these lee
lures, which were of high order.
This makes the second year that we
Fave had such series given under
the auspices of the association.
Fellowship Plan-Partly as result
of my trip to the states last summer,
our association is now regarded as a
center by the international
secretaries. This gives us the serv-
ices of absolutely the best young col
lege men who intend taking up asso-
citation work This has been a good
thing during the past year and will
mean much to the local association in
the future. We will have four men
with us on this basis during the com
ing year Secretaries Urice and Cross
are now with us on this basis, and we
have called two more young men to
join us this summer These positions
arc regarded as corresponding to stu
dent fellowships in university. 1t is
a special training for a professional
calling.
