Miss Beale's port was highly interesting and in- formative® and was greatly enjoved as it showed that she had fallowed closely the business transacted at the conference. The reports of Miss Osborn and Miss Beale follow: Beale, i Agent’s Report. To the Directors of the New Britain Charity Organization: When Charity Organization socie- ties came upon the scene about thir- ty-five years ago, it was because thinking people had discovered need of specialization in charity as well as other things. The relief side of phil- anthropy was well attended to. The situation was similar to that in olden times when there were no trained fire departments. Then every gen- tleman had a nice leather bucket hanging in his hall at home usually with his name upon it. ~When there was an alarm of fire he ran home, got his bucket and went with all the neighbors to the fire. They had a fine time and after a while the fire went out. Nowadays we have tem and we have a group of trained to put out fires. The people who promoted charity organization society work felt that there should be a group trained for service in philanthropy in exactly the same way. It was canny old Benjt min Franklin who took a nand in organizing fire-fighting and it was he also who wrote, “I think the poor should be helped not so much in their poverty as out of it.” Jfficient- poverty fighting as well efficient men as s are involved ia ¢ ction; the giver and the recipient.” Naturally it fol- lows that there are two kinds of charity, according as we bplace the emphasis on the one or the other. When the empha is on the giver we have inconsiderate philanthrop: The glow in the giver's own heart is} the main thing to him and the ruturc welfare of the recipient is of second- ary importance. It is when the giver 1 s himself in the welfare of the un- fortunate that we find true charity, Ideal charity is a secret man-to- The Ideal Charity. man affair. The pity is that we have outgrown the time when that alone sufficed. From experience it szems absolutely necessary to have var! charitable organizations for spec purposes. Where a kind motherly old soul used to be considered an ac- ceptable nurse for any illness, we now have well equipped hospitals and Visiting Nurses Associations insteud. Where good neighbors used to bring into their sick friends flowers and dainties, with perhaps a little gift of money tucked away inside, now- we have real need for the or- ganized good will and neighborly 8] t of the Sunshine society. The time is past when a fir: se- lectman or overseer of the poor can attend to the giving of all public re- lief, so that we now have a busy and well organized Board of Public Chari- ties. Time was when every mother cared for her children or occaslonally got a friend to lend a helping hand; now it is thought that we need a Day Nursery to care for children of moth- ers who go out to work. Until re- cently sic v babies who were for- tunate had wise mothers and friends to assist in carrying out the doctor’s directions; the unfortunate babies who philanthropic The Bigger the Task the greater the demand upon brain and body. !

This involved the keeving of statistics and records like thos> of all the other welfare agenci Now we believe that their usefulness can be exaggerated. Old fashioned char- ity was mostly an affair of the heart. New fashioned charity in its recep- tion sometimes seems to us to be too much an affair of the head—a matter of systematizing and standardizing and recording without much regard for the unfortunate individuals them- selves. We feel that we can speak freely because neither of these kinds of char- v for our ideal. Heart charity is not always wise charity. Head charity usually has not much heart in it Our ideal for charity organization so- ciety work in New Britain is a head- on collision between the two. Natu- rally when the pendulum swings irom one extreme it goes a little too rfar in the obposite direction. But fin comes to rest at a point midway tween the two. And that is exactly what we think must happen ‘with old fashioned heart charity and new fash- ioned head charity. There has been ample opport during the past month for us to put our combination ideal into »ractice. There have been 239 applicants for our services during April; 140 from apyplicants themselves, twelve from public officials, ten from private so- cieties, five from schools, one from a church, two from cities, and sixty-nine from interested people. There have been 280 calls at our office, 140 from consultants and 140 from applicant 101 s were made by the agents and there were 300 telephone inter- views.
