CHICAGOANS PLAN SYSTEM FOR SOCIAL SERVICE WORK. { Seek to Remedy Dissipation In Civic | Betterment Efforts, A group of Chicago men and women its social betterment endeavors. Plans for the work were decided upon at a general gathering of representatives of various organizations for social work, i and they will be carried out at once. Before it has attained its object the undertaking will have enlisted in its | support these agencies: Every church that has displayed any interest in the condition of life of the people of its community. Every newspaper that has stood for better things in Chicago, Every hospital. Every agency engaged in corrective work for children. Every social settlement working or- ganization and every society engaged in extending relief to the needy. The assertion was made at the meet- ing that a bewildering network of ma- chinery for social improvement has grown up and that many needs have been neglected, while work in other di- rections has been duplicated. A .general stock taking of Chicago’s facilitles for civic betterment will be the first step. - A campaign of public in- struction through lectures in the churches and elsewhere through the ‘heWspapers will then be undertaken, NIGHT SCHOOLS POPULAR.

Louisvil Ky., is at last making progress in the task of securing bet- ter housing for tbe people. Three years ago a law which set much high- er standards than those previously pre- vailing was secured. The act simply gave the city permission to employ a housing inspector instead of command- ing it to do so. As a result, says the Survey, Louisville’s housing legislation remained until last summer a matter of purely academic interest despite al. the efforts of the housing committee. During the vacation season four medical school inspectors were assign- ed to housing work. There were hopes that these men would accomplish something, but when the schools open- led again in the fall and the-result of their efforts was Summed up the total, according to the housing commit- tee, was disappointingly small. Meanwhile some amendments had been made to the law which included a mandatory provision for an inspector. This inspector was to be appointed by the health officer, Dr. W. E. Grant, who is in sympathy with those who are working for better housing for Louisville. The city administration pleaded that it was too poor to pay an additional salary, but the offer of the || Charity Organization soclety to pro- vide the money was not accepted. At last, however, a policeman was detail- el to the task, and, though he was withiout. tiaining, he provéd to ‘have tact and persistence. As a result 100 violations of the Taw were corrected within two months. Pioneer Want Ads.
