large part of the local people standing 
aloof, refusing to lift financially or to 
come into personal contact with the 
work. I find that in the first eleven 
years of the Institute’s existence, there 
were some $60,000 raised; of this 
amount, only $10,000 came from the 
Citizens of Gloucester. 
This proportion of financial interest 
exhibited then, seems to be about the 
ratio of moral and financial support that 
they show now. ‘This brings me to this 
point: If the home people fail to show 
an interest in this work, what right have 
they to expect the Chaplain of the In- 
stitute to go to members of the summer 
colony and guests of the hotels and plead 
the cause of an institution which the 
home folks ‘‘ turn down.”’ 
If the Fisbermen’s Institute is too 
much of a luxury for Gloucester to sup- 
port, it is time we found it out and that 
some means be discovered whereby the 
work could be carried on more cheaply. 
Merge it with the Y. M. C.A., if there 
is not money enough in Gloucester to 
support both places. But both are need - 
ed. Iam certain that the work of the 
Institute is almost indespensable. We 
all seem to think that the Y. M. C. A. 
is necessary. We often have as many 
young men (fishermen) come into the 
Institute in a week as Gloucester’s young 
men go into the Y. M. C. A. building 
in three months. 
It is claimed by those who ought to 
known, that under the present manage- 
ment the Institute is better equipped and 
conducted than ever before; if so, then 
there is no excuse for the good people of 
this city holding back their help, but to 
see to it that the Institute be fully sup- 
ported and properly developed. I am 
here to help make it the best institution 
of its kind, and am confident that it could 
be made such if there can be aroused a 
spirit of love for this sort of work to a 
larger degree than heretofore, the sup- 
port that is its due. 
I had about decided, because of the 
reasons above stated, to resign the posi- 
tion and let some other take up the work 
where | lay it down, trusting that he may 
have such tact, grace and gumption, 
combined with a physical makeup which 
requires neither that he have one day in 
seven to rest nor a vacation during the 
whole year, that his family be sufficient 
in number, and old enough in years, that 
he with wife and children could together 
be a full equipment to properly conduct 
the internal workings of the Institute. 
But, I will wait, and see what response 
is accorded us in the next six months. 
In the meantime, every citizen of 
Gloucester, (business men, vessel own- 
ers, wage earners and the men who catch 
the fish also) will be given an appor- 
tunito to show their appreciation. We 
are striving to hold up the good name of 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE. | i
