NATION AWAKENS T0 SOCIAL OBLIGATION Report on National Conference Given to Charity Organization | i i ! i M. Britain Miss Cora the New Beale, Cha tion, submitted her monthly statement agent acting of y organiza- of the organization's activitice at the meeting of the board of directors last evening. Here report, which likewise includes resume of the National Conference of social workers, ig here- with printed: a “It takes a big map to depict journeys in the West, says the Bul- letin of the National C‘onference of social wirk. The ‘Parish of the con- ference stretcheg much farther to the westward of Kansas City than it does in the opposite direction. Macuntain ranges and deserts separate or lie about the population centers from which many of the western member; hailed. Large numbers of work from the states along the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi river went out to Kansas City, Missour), the mid- ale-west to greet and exchange experi- ences with those of the mountains valleys and plains of the great W the real West which hag a character and problems of its own. “Of the conference this year, Rob- ert A.

It wag nece ry that they should do so in order that the peopel of no one of them should starve, This has ‘brought about new international re- lations that will have much to do with the terms of peace when they are agreed upon. Coming together in this close heart-to-heart way, the new internationalism that will result never consent to any nation being cut off from its food supplies in times of peaice. Under the peace termg the food supplies of every nation will be the first consideration, “And with the democracy that is becomjng more distinctively charac- teristic of the American nation and each people with each passing day, a Jewish rabbi, a Catholic priest and Protestant minister joined in a a cussion of “The Church Communi and the Present Crisis.” Their audi- ence was as diversified as the relig- fous tenets of the churches and speakers represented, Aut each was acclailmed with the same degree of enthusiasm. That the war is doing more to bring about religious unity than generations of peace might have done, was the opinion expressed by the Rev. Roy B. Guild, executive secretary of the Commission on Tn- ter-Church Federations. FEvery wel- fare hut in every soldier camp stands for relizious unity, he declared. “But will we who have stayed at home be able to make of our com- munities fit habitations for the sol- diers who have met the supreme test in the task of eliminating from the world’s politics that for which the kalser and the Potsdam gang stand? “The war is creating a deeper relig- fous sentiment throughout the world and in America particularly the fri- volity that was rampant a few vears ago has been hushed into silence by the roar of guns, the shrick of shrap- a nel and the moans of the wounded and dying,” said Rabbi H. Maver of | B’Nai Jehudah Temple. he Japanese ambassador of so- cial welfare, T. Tago, and his assist- ant, Dr. M. Takenouchi, who were touring America, Tingland and Cana- da investigating social conditions for the Japanese Empire, were intro- duced to the idience and were warmly received. Neither spoke Eng- lish, hut a statement from Mr. Tago, warmly commendatory of social work, was read. “The next quarter of a century in the history of the United States will be a period of re-adfustment and re- construction.

It would mak it possible to have at least one skilled social worker in every county!” “The functions which the depart- ment of the Interior has s justify its heing called the a Public Welfare department, since it deals with Indian affairs, national | parks, forest reserves, soldiers’ pen- sions, the reclamation service and education. “The small group of people re- sponsible for the formulation and de- velopment of the fi welfare board and of the National Weltare league, have taken the ideals of social work seriously and have undertaken to make a program to realize these ideals. “They have acted upon the faith that the purposes of soclal work can be fulfilled and their accomplishment is not a dream but a task. This pro- gram is based on the idea that so- cial science and social invention can revolutionize society. It accepts no misery as inevitable and no wrong as irremediable. Reconstruction Work 3 Reconstruction work for returned soldiers has already begun. We are seeking to make the soldiers’ home unnecessary, said Major Richard H. Hutchings of the United States Medi- cal corps. Already wounded men are receiving a line of treatment fur- nished for those who are prostrated by shell shock. Hospital care for a shaitered nervous system is later fol- lowed by carvefully planned re-con- structive treatment. The man is given an occupation which he can endure. The occupation will he production. Time and the treatment of physicians will restore the man who otherwise would have been useless to health and livelihood. An Important fea- ture is provision for hospital treat- ment for the broken soldier near hi home and relatives, in his own state, if possible “Regarding the morale of our men in service, reports are most encour- aging. Since the war began there is much less illegitimacy than was ex- pected. A greater problem is that of the early marriages. When we re- alize that in Georgia the age of con- sent i ten vears and in Alabama from nine to cighteen years, there is little hope of immediate results un- il these laws are changed. When the public will arise and give voice to their opinions regarding these early marriages—there much will be accomplished. for Soldier “Where in years past the army and navy were supposed to abound in venereal diseasc the fact now stands that the proportion of this disease is greater in civilan than in military life.
