our sincere congratulations for his splendid choice in selecting the name of Knute Rockne for the San Diego Foundation for Boys? May the spirit of this great American be inflilled into the hearts of those fortunate boys who will be enrolled in this school upon its completion.

It has been my privilege to be one of the backers of the SAN DIEGO BOYS' FOUNDATION from the very beginning. Soon after the plan was released to the public I was happy to devote one of my weekly columns in each of the San Diego newspapers to this great humanitarian project. And now that an excellent name has been selected for it-Knute Rockne Academy-I am eager to see the early con- summation of this long-time dream of Bishop Buddy. This boys' academy and vocational training center will derive its inspiration from Father Flanagan's Famous Boys' Town in Nebraska, which has received na- lion-wide acclaim for the benevolent and practical care which it has given to thou- sands of homeless boys. The new San Diego haven will provide a good home, good food, understanding, education, pleasant surroundings, and training in a trade for boys of every race, creed, or color. There will be instruction in the technical arts, as well as courses in farming, truck gardening, dairying and cattle raising. The projected development should become a real asset to our city and county in years to come, for it constitutes a wise investment in wholesome manhood and good American citizenship. And as for the location, I can think of no spot in this Heaven on Earth that is more suitable for the purpose than the sunny and fruitful

This is a most deserving cause, and people of every faith should be glad to co-

operate.

Wishing you sunny days, I remain Your Good Will Ambassador.
