Os- Lern, the agent, gave an intevesing ! explanation of how-it is possi fo/r the society to do such a remarkably broad work on such an excsedinzly | sma!l expenditure. Miss Cora M. Beale, the -aseirtant | agent. gave a report on the State Conference of Charities jand Ccirec- t'ons at Stamford on April 20. Miss Osborne left yesterday for the tionul Conference of Charities and; Correclions at Baltimore., Of the thirty-two new casc of poverty during the month, eleven were ceused by unemployment, eigats by sbiftlessness and vagrancy, {our non- cuppo t and the rerainder for odier There were 204 applicatioas for services, 184 cazes were Landled aml twenty-four were given aid. Miss Oscbor1’s Report. Aisy Osborn’s repor: follows: A man who is thoroughly familiar with the work of societies. such as’' ours in many citles, said not long ago, It seems to me that your society is remarkably broad work on i an exceedingly small expenditure. | How do you manage it?” We told him it was as hazardous an occupa- tion as raising a large family on small | means,—but later on we gave more thought to the question, That we as a soclety take for grant- ed inthe way of a ratio between large results accomplished and small ex- penditures made, might seem to othe! less acquainted with our werk a mis- statement, or an overstatement. Our success in this line is due to our harmonious relations with relief- giving organizations in the city and | throughout the state, and to theh un- failing willingness to lend a hand. We are incorporated as a society for that very purpose—to secure aid from var- ious gources, each in its own particular line,—even as our special kind of re- lief work is emergency ald,—and they call on us for our specialty as freely as we call on them. Manner of Aid Given. Because the public has a right to know, we publish each month a care- fully computed statement of the the amount of cash expended for groceries, coal, shoes, medicine, etc., by the treasurer from the general | the agent from the | special sums of money handed to her personally. Iikewise each month we report faithfully the number of individuals who have received this aid from our | funds. The number is comparatively small. If this were all the money spent for the average of thirty new families' a month whom we befriend to say Aiothing of long continued friendship in many other instances, ours would be sorry a kind of charit Does our report look as irf we be- believed in skimping actual relief and mn le | merely coming in strong on the per- | sonal service end? We hope not. That would be far from true. The two must go hand in hand. The fact that this month fifty-one out of the 185 calls from applicants were made by those who came expressly for such friendly service and advice, and the | fact that again and again we were able to serve those who came for aid, or work, or clothing, by suggesting some new avenue of improvement, or some undréamed of possibility, does not in- dicate for a moment that we believe | in skimping relief. The plain faet is that we are not a relief giving society only. 1f that were our sole aim we should simply open a free department store with clothing, drug and grocery depart- ments and perhaps a small coal yard on the side.

The peoplé who come to us cerfain- 1y do necd all these things, and this winter we ‘have bheen running a flourishing second hand clothing de- i person trained to look at such facts | us goods free or at liberal discounts. | ber of straw hats on the streets and partment, simply because there Was no other way to fill the need. But there are other ways to supply the other needs and there are often times me- thods of enabling the families to pa- tronize regular grocery stores and pay their own bills. 1t is in devising these plans that our ingenuity is taxed to the limit. 1t would be far easier to dole: out groceries. ' We give emergency aid always where the need is urgent, and con- tinue so doing until the need is past, or, if it will be of long duration, until e find other societies and interested people willing to club together in pro- enly. this emergency aid that figures on our expense books. The later as« sistance which we secure for these families is beyond our reckoning, The expense of all that (which outweighs our little first expenditure as ten to one) appears on the account books of charitable individuals, on the liets of many relief societids and churches, on the ledgers of many state insti- tutions, and, not on the profit, but on the loss side of the books of many a lawyer, doctor, ‘optician. etc.. who has contributed his services free aflter hearing our plea. Dollar Goes Far, We know of place where a dollar will go farther than in organized charity, in any city, because the first emergency help always comes to a family in a time of dire extremity, and because later the statement of a squarely, praves an open sesame to skillful, medical, legal, and optieal aid, to many institutions which at least grant a reduction in price, in courtesy to our seciety, and to the hearts and purses of many philan- thropic people. Of course, contributors are at all times able tq designate to the treas- urer or agent exdctly the way they wish their gifts used, and their money will then be used in that way and no other, A written or verbal repert will be given them gladly in such in- stances, 54 First of all, then, we ar2 anxious to explain why we can accomplish big things when our bills are so modest, Secondly, these bills for emergency aid would be doubled and trebled if kindhearted merchants did not give Some of Achievements; Then, too, think of secvring for one child admission to a fine school es- pecially suited to its nceds for $6.50 | a month; for another child expert medical treatment and board for $20 a month; for still another child a good heme and adoption; and for two other individuals home in insti- tutions exactly fitting theiy needs, at no expense whatever! five of these arrangements have been brought about altogether by ou society within cight weeKs. There have been scores of lesser achievements. > All this nothing at 21k to boast about, it is merely the Lind of“service we are expressly orga .izel for; the sort of thing we.are woiking at overy day—the selfseyident reascn for our | small expenditures. Just suppose we had to pay the filk chirger. ourselves We should need. ten times more money. b, ek FOR HALE MEDAL, DRILL Company E to Hold Forth Tonight With gompetition and Social.
