The Bovs' Home Enoggera, founded in
1890, is one of the oldest, if not the
oldest, in Queensland to care for orphan
boys and others between the age of 8
and 14 years. Ihe position of the hone
is ideal, situated about five miles from
the heait of distance, it stands on nine
acres of ground,, which are utilised for
growing vegetables for the boys. The
locality is very healthy, but its distance
from town prevents it being as well known
as it ought to be. There are 38 boys in
the home at present, of whom 20 are
orphans and nearly all the others have
been deserted by one or other of their
parents. The fathers of nearly half of
the boys fought for their country. The
boys come not only from Brisbane but
from distant parts of the State, and the
home therefore hopes to obtain subscribers
from all parts. The list of contributions
to the fund is very short and
the committee is hoping that publicity
will rectify this. Twelve months ago a
street collection was taken up in Brisbane,
andidealismd nearly £150, but the com-
mittee felt that the whole State migbt
be appealed to, as boys come from and
are sent to all parts. Apart from money
the home needs a large amount of milk
to supply the boys. The one cow is
inadequate; another is badly needed. It
would bo also a great 'boon if the home
could bring its supplies from town, and
this would be possible if it had a horse,
which would also be availalble for the
boys to leam something of farm work.
The matron would be pleased to show any
one over the home any day at any time,
in order that the good work being done
there may be seen.
