Mr. John Moss

Mr. John Moss, Superintendent of the Home, was born in Birmingham, England, in 1854, and was educated at Aldridge Grammar School, near Walsall, Staffordshire. He arrived in Auckland by the s.s. “Arawa,” in 1886, and soon afterwards secured the appointment of manager of the Auckland Boys' Rest, an institution founded for the benefit of the waifs and strays of the city. Later on Mr. Moss was selected to take charge of the physical department of the Young Men's Christian Association, and in 1890 was appointed to his present position. Mrs Moss was at the same time appointed matron of the Home.
