"During the year the hoys were con ducted on twenty-four “hikes'’ to places of interest in and around the city. These trips are always benefi cial and educational to the boys, for they are taken to places that a boy could not go Into by himself. A place that in of Interest to them and .* place that they visit annually is the Lom bard Iron Works; there they are al ways received cordially and arc shown through all the departments. A trip was made to Stevens Creek by wagon with thirty-eight boys; lunch was car ried and the hoys spent the day tak ing In the sights, returning to the city In the afternoon very Joyous. "A high school basketball league was organized in the spring-over which the hoys were very enthusiastic.

A. swimming meet there. <tn August 2Xth, the meet was held with twenty-six entries and more than four hundred spectators present. The merchants donated prizes that were awarded to the winners. "The boys' Bible study course for the year was very successful in every respect. Mr. C. J. Steward, formerly with the Savannah Y’oung Men's Christian Association, taught the high school group. He used as a topic of study the 'Life of St. Paul.’ The grammar school group was taught by the boys’ secretary and they used for their course of study the Life of Christ. They were also drilled in Bible reading. Boys’ Camp. “The hoys’ camp was the feature of the summer, tin June 22nd, thirty two boys, with Mr. Halford as leader and Boh Sherman, George Shea and Otis Rae as assistants, left for the camp site at Flat Rock, near Granite vllle, S.

The boys In dulged In various kinds of sports while on this camp, such as swimming, fish ing. hiking, tracking, baseball, games of various kinds and trips to Dr. Se vier’s girls' camp. The girls were in vited over one evening and the boys entertained them with a minstrel show which was enjoyed by alt. Mr. Hick man, as usual, endeavored to make the camp life as pleasant and profitable to the hoys as be could. No accident or sickness marred the pleasure of the outing and the hoys were all pleased with the encampment. Bible study was made a part of the daily pro gram. "We wish to express in a most em phatic way our appreciation of the services rendered by the ladles’ Aux iliary all through the year, and to all other friends that have in any way contributed to the work. Also the Au gusta Chronicle and the Augusta Her ald for they gave very liberally of spnee to us. “We wish to Impress upon the mem bers and friends and upon the board of directors that too much attention cannot be given to the hoys' work, for the boys of today will be the men of tomorrow.
