MARY BENEITED BY SOCIAL LEAGUE Montgomery County Organi- zation Has Been Real ‘ Agency for Good. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., July 14.—Prob- ably no organization has ever ex- isted in Montgomery county that has been an agency for more real good than the Montgomery County Soclal Service League. Prompted by mo- tives entirely unselfish, its activities re wide in scope and embrace vir- ly everything that ends to relieve ffering, protect the weak, assist the needy and uplift humanity gen- crally. The organization owes its begin- ning to a little band of women who something like fifteen or sixteen years ago were members of a Bible class of the Rockville Preshyterian Sunday school. They are all still living in Rockville and include Mrs. Virginia Brewer, Mrs. Henry J. Finle Mrs. Laura Higgins, Mrs. Belle Ma , Miss Lucy Simpson, Mrs. Edwin Smith and Mrs. Mary A. Spencer. County Home Work Inspires. ‘The members of this class were in the habit of .visiting the County Home, near Rockville, where they Gpnducted religious exercises, pro- viding comfortable clothing and did many other things to make more Bearable the monotonous lives of the unfortunate inmates.. This work led these good women to feel that what they were doing at the County Home was doubtless needed elsewhere in the county and that there should be a permanent organization to prose- cute such work. The organization, in 1908, of the Soclal Service League was the result. At first it was an uphill fight to . Zet the people interested, as is true of most_Innovatlons, but the organiza- Gon finally Kot going and in 1513 had assumed such importance that incor- poration was deemed advisable. Since then the activities and accomplish- ments of the league have steadily apd rapidly increased until today it is a’ firmly-established, wide-awake, businessiike organization that is not proving a boon to many needy individuals but is benefiting soclety at large. The report of Miss Elizabeth, L. Spamer, soclal director, of its ac- tivities during the month of June gives some idea of what the league is doing. The organization, by the way, is regarded as particularly for- tunate In having the services of this Young woman. A recognized expert in social service work, she ig said to be the personification of industry and ful of enthusiasm for her arduous task, which she performs in a cheer- ful and thoroughly businesslike man- ner. It has finally been realized, how evgr, that her manifold duties, al though willingly discharged, are prov- ing too great a tax on her strength and steps have been taken to provide her with an assistant. Many Given Ald The report referred to shows that during the period_ indicated Miss Spamer worked on 52 cases of vari- ous Kinds, 13 of which were closed: supervised 13 dependent children, 6 of them wards of the uvenile court in foster homes; looked after 7-de- pendent dhildren, one a ward of the Juventle court, that are being cared for in boarding houses; worked with .33 families and 81 children in their homes, 5 of the latter being wards of the juvenile court; held 53 office interviews, paid 139 visits and an- ble inquiries amer is also county pro- t cer and as such devotes a | gMd deal of time and work to ju- venile court cases. The league's public health is Miss Hermine Badenhoop, Al- though she has been in charge of such work in this county but a few months, she has demonstrated her capability and is said to be main- taining the high standards of indus- | try and efficiency established by her | meveral predecessor: M. Baden- | 's services are free to rich and ! poor alike, but those who avail themselves of her help and are able to do so generally contribute some- thing toward the expenses of the league. Family-Child Welfare Work. The family welfare and child wel- fdre departments are also important branches of the league work., The former is in_charge of Miss Martha S. Poole, and the latter is directed by Mrs. W. Ernest Offutt. Neither receives compensation, but both are said to Le much interested in their | work and put in many busy hours | elping those who cannot help last several years the aintained five portable 3 are in charge of the county nurse, are in use virtually all | the ume and prove a great conven ignce in for persons affected ith tuberculosis, in addition to mint nizing the danger of spreading the| " disease. All this, of course, requires money, the estimate for the year beginnin July 1 being approximately $9,000. “The principal_items, of the expense budget are: Salaries, $5.000; trans- poktation, $1,300; chiid-placing fund, $1,000; relief work, $600; tuberculosis fund, $200; printing, $125; office rent, $300; telephohe, $120; substitute workers, $100. The organization has a fixed annual income of $2,250. Of this, $900 comes from the county commissioners -to pay the salary of the probation offi- ‘cer, $600 is realized from the sale of Christmas eeals, $350 is contrib- uted by the Maryland Children’s Aid Society’ toward the _child-placing fund and $200 is received in inter- est_on invested funds. The invested money represents two legacies—one of $5,000 and the other of $500—to which the league has fallen helr in recent years. Membership Drive On. ganizations and individuals are relied upon to supply the remainder of the necessary funds. Most of these | contributions are in the form of membership fees and range from $1 to $100, according to the character of the membership. A membership drive is now on and is progressing fairly satisfactoriiy. In Rockville district the drive has resulted in the i acquisition of 800 members, with prospects of materially increasing the number. If the other sections of the county do as well, sufficient funds to run the league during the current year probably will be. forthcoming. " Prominent persons are in charge of the affalrs of the organization. nurse | preachea Brentwood Mayor| Gets Second Term LYOYD V. MOXLEY.
