Miss Dickinson painted an interest- ing word plcture of the scope and progress of the Clty Mission work and what it is accomplishing. She cited such instances as the following remark by a little girl, “Jvery girl in our terzment is go- ing to sewing school this fall” to show how far reaching the work |now is. Reports were made of the baby conference conducted in conjunc- tion with the Visiting Nurse asso- clation, at the Burritt Mission. The work of the mission in Sunday schools, she stated, is helping many boys and girls on the road of right living. These classes reach weekly 200 boys and girls, representing 16 nationalities. She stated that there are many boys on the streets who spend their time in gambling and loafing, boys whom even the Boys' club does not reach. On one of these streets the boys are anxious to help themselves and four of them recently called at the City Mission and asked help to form a Boy Scout troop, but available leaders were lacking and the troop never was formed. Another group meets every Tues- day evening at the mission head- quarters, but according to Mies Dickinson, is in need of seout train- ing more than anything the City Mission can give. 2,588 Calls During Year. Personal calls at homes form an important part of the work, and during the year 2,588 calls were made, many of them to homes where the mother never had a real friend, she reported. Miss Vera Kucera, a City Mission worker, has proven un- usually suceeasful in this work, be- cause of her knowledge of a num- ber of different languages. Mies Ku- | cera has been called upon to inter- NEW BRITATV pret for physicians, nurses and den- tists, and s a friend more than a| miasionary. | Sunday school papers turned over | to the City Mission by the different | churches are much in demand, and| gince the public schools have adopt- | ed library periods the demand for| these things has been increasing. | Miss Kathrine Schenkel, another Mission worker, has been active in | obtaining medical treatment for | children who suffer from physical | handicaps, under nourishment, o lack of fresh air and proper feeding, due fn most cases to fgnorance. Miss Schenkel has been active in taking | these children to doctors and clinics, | to the open air school amd ;:»t‘mg them into the fresh air camp during the summer. Mizs Dickinson reported that City | Mission workers come Across cases which amount literally to “a starving for beauty, in the most wretched | homes.” Poor, sickly plants, coaxed | | along under difficulties, tnvalid wom- | en who eit on wheel chairs and de | vote the day to a fern or other plant, were instances cited. Volunteer Workers Report. | Reports from volunteer workers | were made as follows: The Metho- | | dist sewing school, by Miss Gladys | Shailer; the Lafayette sewing school at the First Baptist church, by Mrs, | ¥rederick Johnson of the Swedish | Bethany church; Sunday school | work at the South church, by Miss| | Olive Chase of that church; the Bur- | ritt Boy Scouts, by John Young, | scoutmaster; the Farmington avenue | girle’ club, by’ Mrs. Samuel M- | Cutcheon of the First Congregational | ehurch? | Other reports were s | “Some City Mission Good Times,” by | | Miss Kucera; “Burritt Activities,” by | | Miss Schenkel; “Adventures in Un-| | derstanding,” by Miss Dickinson. | The opening prayer was by Rev. !
