AIOysius, appointed by former Circuit
Judge Parsons as juvenile probation
officer for Hilo, conceived and has
brought to ultimate success the idea of
such home for unfortunate children,
Need Long Felt
1.-THE need of such an institution
has been felt in the Second City (Hilo)
Tor a great many years, said n well
known Honolulu phiIanthropist yest0r-
day while discussing the subject with
a representative of The Advertiser.
, "The sending of unfortunate youths
! to the Industrial School for Boys at
' Taialee, this island, because they were
cor, neglected and homeless, has baen
| found to be but q makeshift solution
Of an important educational problem.
"While everybody in HilO sand so,
and Hilo alone has come to the front
this important issue and advocated
he establishment of an institution
here youngsters, whose greatest crime
vas to have the wrong kind of pa
ents, could be brought up decently
md humanely, Father Aloysius alone
has been quietly busy correcting funds
/ md preparing the way for the ultimate
and real answer to the question, What
| AN we do for the hOmeless!'

spired, $4,000 out of $1,000 needed for
lie bare bringing into existence of
his home has been collected, but much
more is needed.
More Money Needed
THE remaining $1,000, and much
more is needed before the home can
honestly answer its purpose, will doubt
lessly be readily obtained, but even
then The boys, several of whom have
DePn for some time sheltered at the
Catholic parsonage in Hilo, will have
only roof over their heads. Their
! stcmachs will require some attention
it is felt. and for this and other pur
poses quite sum is desired.
"FathPr Aloysius has been for sew
craI years interested in the welfare
If HiIO Boys. Owing to this, alone, il
or no Other reason, Charles F. Parsons
who was until recently judge Of the
fourth cirruit court of HilO for twelve
wears. appointed the well known re-
ligious worker of the Second City as
probation officer for HilO.
