ANNUAL REPORT

The annual report of Superintendent Tillery. which was given out yesterday, { is replete with facts and figures which only give the details of the splendid work being done It shows that posi- tions were secured for 157 boys who were out of work. Nearly 50 boys who had stopped school were persuaded to re-enter. Nearly as many without oth- CT means of support were supplied with books, clothing and other neces- sities to attend school. Countless oth- CT boys were assisted in equally as valuable a way.
 The club co-operated with the Boy Scouts. It aided the newsboys' repub- lie. It maintained a club, had a sum ner camp for boys, provided proper amusements and took care of many homeless ones
 Special mention was made in the re- pert of the aid given the organization is the beneficiary of this organization been due to the assistance of the Ro- tarians. Emphasis is also placed upon the help of the Young Mems Chris tian association, the Salvation Army, the Athletic club, the cooperation of the juvenile court and other organiza- tions which aided in the work.
 Attention Is called to the fact that the greater part of the financial sup port for the maintenance of the club and for the conduct of its work comes from tag day. This event has grown in importance until it is the most suc- cessful affair each year in the way or raising funds for eleemosnary insti- tutions in Birmingham.

AFFAIRS WELL MANAGED

AS to the credit TOT this dumlrdple zs:tuation-a situation meaning so much to hundreds of boys in Birmingham who have been helped, perchance saved, by the work of the organization, much is due to the admirable and business like manner in which it's affairs have been administered. A board of con- trol, headed by Mrs. Victor Q. Prowell, assisted by an advisory board of 10 prominent citizens, has so successfully steered the course of the organization through the rough seas of diversity end past the shoals of possible criticism, that 1t has constantly grown to play a larger part in making men out Of the boys of the community-many of whom were facing serious handicaps in their efforts.
 The superintendent of the club, who is in active charge of the work among . the boys, is considered one of the most capable men for his position td be found anywhere. His sympathy with the boys, his intimate knowledge of human nature, his influence over them, have been big factors in the success he has attained since taking up his work.
 The activities of the club are many and complicated A clubhouse is main tained where the boys can enjoy them selves to the utmost with the proper surroundings; branch chapters are To- cated in various parts of the city; the Nclub gets boys jobs and then comes rather near seeing that they hold them; it helps them stay in school, and it keeps them out of court.
 All of this work is correlated and harmonized. Each individual case is studied The club helps boy find him. self If he is incorrigible, if his home environment is bad, if there Is lack of sympathy and understanding be- tween the boy and his parents or others with whom he lives, the club generally straightens it out. And all is done with tact and an understanding which cre- ates no friction

That it is accomplishing toe work for which 1t was formed is shown conclusively in intendent, c. Floyd Tillery, to Mrs. Vic tor 0. Prowel1, president of the board of control
 The boys club is one institution in Birmingham of an elemosynary nature which seems to have never come under tke ban of public disapproval. even in the slightest degree. Even those who are not inclined to look with much favor upon the work of the 'uplifters, those who view with the eye of the cynic the efforts of people to render aid or charity in an organized way, have lent their support and encourage ment to the boys club.
 Without disparagement of other or ganizations which have at times had to fight for their very existence, with no reflection upon some which have been the storm centers of heated contro- vorsy, both within and without, the Shoys' club has made good.
