HAPPY HOME FOR BOYS An Educational Institution Conducted by Sisters of St. Dominic, of Which Anaheim is Justly Proud—Tender Treatment At request of the Sisters of St. Dominic, who conduct a school for boys on Palm street in this city, the Editor prepared the following brief descriptive article of the school for publication in a special edition of The Tidings, published in Los Angeles. The article was printed in that paper on June 19th: An educational institution in which the citizens of Orange county take conscious pride is the boys' home conducted by the Dominican Sisters on Palm street in the City of Anaheim. Here twenty-one sisters of this order are rearing upward of two hundred boys, many of them orphans and half orphans, and are inculcating into their minds the elementary principles of good citizenship. The buildings and grounds occupy a sightly tract of twenty-six acres, the grounds being highly ornamented with palm and evergreen trees, lawns, shrubs and flowers. Winding walks meander through the grounds and are bordered with flower beds maintained in a high state of cultivation. The main building is a commodious three-story and basement brick structure. Numerous frame mannered and speak politely to visitors. They have a happy well-conducted home and shoeless never forget the beneficence of state as well as the self-abnegation of these noble women who are making their education possible and ting them for the manifold duties citizenship to come in their life. The boys are aged from 14 years. After reaching the age many go to attend other schools and colleges and others are taken useful trades. Recognizing the importance religious instructions, Rev. Fa Stoeters, who was in charge of parish here, but who is now at St. Ana, invited the Dominican Sisters from San Francisco to open an emy in the parish, which institute was opened in 1889 and dedicated by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Mora. A few years' existence it was conferred advisable to have a home boys instead of an academy, and change was accordingly made. The beginning six sisters compete the faculty and there were then one-boy's in attendance. In July, 1894, the first addition was built for the boys' home. 1897 a second addition was constructed, and in 1900 other additions to the building were made. The chapel was erected in 1905. This year the teaching of sloyd taken up. In recent years other ditions have been made to the buildings, including a playhouse, gymnasium and other features which give their development in mind and b The only regret expressed by sisters is that the buildings are adequate to accommodate a sightly tract of twenty-six acres, the grounds being highly ornamented with palm and evergreen trees, lawns, shrubs and flowers. Winding walks meander through the grounds and are bordered with flower beds maintained in a high state of cultivation. The main building is a commodious three-story and basement brick structure. Numerous frame buildings nearby are devoted to the uses of class rooms, dining rooms, dormitories and a chapel. The boys rise at 6:30 in the morning and an hour later are breakfasted. The morning and afternoon hours are devoted to study. The course is identical with that taught in the public schools up to the eighth grade, and principles of Christian doctrine are daily instilled into their youthful minds. At noon they have dinner and at 6 o'clock supper is served. The dining rooms are nicely arranged and the tables well set. Neat china and silver are at each place. The tables spread with snowy table cloths and the viands wholesome and well prepared. They are fed plenty of fruits, berries and vegetables, of which the rich fields of the valley afford abundant supply. They are given meat once a day, with occasional variation of fish and fowl. Milk and butter are brought daily from a nearby dairy. They are comfortably housed, properly clothed and well provided for. Attention is paid to their diet and little sickness exists among them. During the nineteen years of the existence of this institution in which time hundreds of boys have been taught, only one death has occurred. Probably the most interesting features of the boys' maintenance are the dormitories with their well ventilated and spacious apartments and neat beds arrayed in spotless linen. In the dormitories devoted to the younger children are scores of trundle beds placed side by side in long rows. In each dormitory two sisters re- IN SEARCH OF NEW BOOKS George Compere, the famous hunter for California, and West Australia, who recently returned to state from a world-circling tour search of parasites for scalepest, for Siam and the isles of the Orkney again take up his search. Mr. Compere is probably the most famous bug hunter on earth, and his present mission fair to be the most important he ever undertaken. He goes first to Jersey, there to collect and forward the state insectary certain species native lady birds that may be of interest in attacking plant lice here. Then he will go to Northern Germany then to the Balkan States, his quest Europe being confined primarily parasites of the codlin moth and aerial form of the woolly aphis.

In recent years otherditions have been made to the buildings, including a playhouse, gymnasium and other features which give their development in mind and b The only regret expressed by sisters is that the buildings are adequate to accommodate the stantly increasing number of children who desire to be admitted to the home. The buildings grounds are kept in sanitary condition and there is about the hometown air of culture and refinement which is pleasing to the eye of the observer. These noble daughters of Dominic are faithfully giving lives to the teaching and development of their youthful charges. This they are doing as tenderly as lovingly as the proudest man and are thereby storing up themselves treasures imperishable on high. Probably the most interesting features of the boys' maintenance are the dormitories with their well ventilated and spacious apartments and neat beds arrayed in spotless linen. In the dormitories devoted to the younger children are scores of trundle beds placed side by side in long rows. In each dormitory two sisters remain with the children over night. How often these good sisters are called during the night to attend to the numerous wants of their youthful charges the world will never know. Only those who have raised children and who know the neverending tribulations which attend the younger minds, can be aware of the multitudinous duties devolving upon these faithful women who are giving their lives to the education and uplifting of these children. Nearby is the infirmary with numerous beds placed in a well ventilated and airy apartment. Indeed, there is little use for this part of the home and when I visited it no child had been an inmate for many weeks. In a new chapel recently erected the boys attend services, which are presided over by Rev. Father Byrne, whom the boys dearly love and who lives in a pretty little cottage on the grounds. The chapel is reached by two flights of stairs, and as in the case of the other buildings, is roomy and well ventilated.

This will bring him to the latter point where he will build a small breeding-house in which will be placed the trees sent from Italy and gathered in Southern India for this purpose. These trees will be planted in boxes so they can be dispatched to California with their parasitized scales without difficulty. From Hong Kong, where he will establish headquarters, he will make an entomological exploration of China, Japan, Korea and India in every district that promises results. His shipments of parasites will be by every boat and in large quantities, to be tried out through the insectary at Sacramento where preparations are being made on a large scale for handling these sendings. He will collect all beneficial insects on a given pest instead of giving preference to one species supposed to be the real thing, and which has proved of no value whatever so often in the past. Mr. Compere has been directed to make an innovation upon his former work. He will collect a lot of pear stock from the interior of China which some people believe to be immune to pear blight. This will be forwarded to the state commission and distributed to university and the department of agriculture, where the test can be made to determine if such immunity to blight exists, and if the quantity may be transmitted from stock to colon. Compere will also try out a new process of retarding the development of his parasites from the time he takes them from their native places to the substation at Hong Kong. He has originated a portable refrigerator to be carried like a handbag, and expects it to be of some assistance. He will have insects on ice in India, where the thermometer ranges out over the end of the tube on frequent occasions.

The department of agriculture of the Hawaiian Islands has given Prof. Koebele a long vacation on full pay in partial recognition of his services in the past as a searcher for parasitic insects. Koebele has no superior in this line, and, his health falling, it is pleasant to know his government appreciates the work he has done and is now giving him the chance to recuperate his shattered health. He was known to scores of the pioneers of Los Angeles both personally and professionally, having lived there, and soon after leaving becoming the agent of the most remarkable achievement in economic entomology the world has ever experienced. It is true that none of his later work has approached that of the introduction of the Vedalia into the orchards of Southern California, but his work in the Sandwich Islands has been satisfactory. The demand of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican League for open primaries at which the preference of Republican voters may be freely expressed both as to measures and candidates, is essentially fair.
