ANGLICAN BOYS’ HOME.

Last week Mr C. E. Levien, secretary of the above institution, at Lower Halt, visited Foxton with a view to eliciting financial assistance from sympathisers, and met with a fair measure of success. The home has been in existence for about nine years, and excellent results have been obtained. Lately an organising, secretary, Mr Levien. has been appointed, and a good committee of Wellington business men have taken the extension of the work in hand.

The society at present has a master, matron and 20 boys living in two 4- and 5-roomed cottages, and have 51 acres of land for grazing cows and raising vegetables for their own use and for the market. The hoys attend the Eastern liutt Slate School. Boys of any denomination are admitted free.

The objects of the Society are for the maintenance and training of boys the circumstances of whose lives are such that they should be removed therefrom.

A new Home of a more permanent nature and furnishings, and extra land are required to accommodate 00 boys. The extra land for the grazing of cows and the continuance of market gardening, as to the latter, besides keeping themselves last year in milk and vegetables, £OO 8s was made by the boys in vegetables supplied to the Wellington market.

Subscriptions may be forwarded to Mr H. B. Gordon, manager National Bank, Te Aro, Wellington, who is the lion, treasurer, or to Mr C. K. Levien, Lower ITutt,
