CHILD WELFARE WORK
DESCRIBED TO WOMEN
Miss Frances Hays Outlines
Big Social Problem
TRAINED SERVICE NEEDED
Universities Furnish Leaders,
Asserts Speaker
“When every child has a good home
and educational opportunities, church and
recreational opportunities and the right
kind of vocational guidance there will
be no problems for the child welfare
commission, ’ ’ said Miss Frances Hays,
field secretary of the commission in
speaking to Dean Fox's class in ethics
Tuesoay morning. “Child welfare is
inclusive, it touches everything connected
with humanity, and when poverty, crime
and selfishness are eliminated child wel
fare workers will be out of positions. ”!
Miss Hays called the students in uni
versities the ‘ ‘ picked half-million ’ ’ and
said that it is from them that leaders are
to come. This was with especial refer
ence to trained workers who are needed
so much today in all branches of social
service work.
At one time it was belived that anj
good-hearted motherly soul was just the
one to do work of this sort, but it has
since been found that this in not true
“Social work needs, pre-eminently,
trained workers who have studied econo
mics, sociology, psychology, ’ ’ said Miss
Hays.
Trained Workers Best
One of the advantages of trained work
ers which the speaker pointed out, is
that when a child is reported for de
linquency of any sort, the trained worker
goes to the family to discover the cause
and through her training knows how to
rehabilitate the family. The untrained
worker is apt to consider more the least
amount of money which can be spent in
this process of rehabilitation rather than
saving people. She is, as a rule, not so
familiar with the resources of the com
munity as the trained worker and not
knowing them is unable to assist in their
development.
Miss Hays divided child welfare work
into two parts, preventive and remedial
measures, with especial stress upon the
preventive measures. This consists of
vocational guidance, child labor laws, sup
ervised recreation and parks, care of crip
pled children, juvenile court work, and the
consolidation of schools. Remedial meas
ures are efforts to better home conditions,
to change the environment of these chil
dren who are either dependents, delin
quents, or defectives, to such an extent
that they will be 'given their chance in
life. Preventive and remedial measures
overlap in the matter of recreational
life, church and club work.
Oregon in Lead
Oregon was the first of all the states
to establish a child welfare commmission.
This commission consists of five repre
sentatives, four of whom are appointed by
the governor and the fifth appointment
is made by the president of the University
of Oregon. The part the University, as a
whole, has played in child welfare work
is of interest.' In 1918 the commission,
composed of members of the faculty, was
asked by the legislature to make a survey
of conditions in Oregon, and to find out
why so many institutions for children
were necessary. Dr. Slingerland, of the
Russell Sage foundation, conducted this
survey and his report was published by
the University. Mr. Slingerland partic
ularly deplored the lack of co-operation
among the welfare agencies of the state.
This results in duplication of work in
some cases and total neglect in others.
The Good Samaritan
Miss Hays said the child welfare is
best illustrated by the story of the Good
Samaritan who fell among thieves. Two
types of people passed him, but the
third stopped and gave him oil and wine
and took him to an inn. “We need
modern equivalents of oil and wine,” said
Miss Hays. “We have got to have inns
where maimed humanity that has fallen
among thieves may rest. The Good Sam
aritan should not have faUen among
thieves, neither should children fall
among thieves. The roads from Jerusa
lem to Jericho should not have been lined
with thieves, neither should the roads of
Oregon be lined with thieves for the
children to fall among. The thieves
should bo eliminated.
FRESHMAN WOMEN HAVE
CAMPUS ORGANIZATION
Thespians Is Name Taken by Group of
Girls; Seventeen Enrolled for
Campos Service
The freshmen representatives of
women 'a living organizations, who or
ganized at the beginning of the winter
term to work in the office of the A. 8.
U. O. to relieve the president and sec- j
retarv of routine duties, chose the j
name of Thespians and adopted a con
stitution at a meeting Tuesday after- j
noon at the Administration building.
The name of Thespians is derived j
from Greek history. In ancient Athens, j
women called Thespians assisted the
magistrates in the dispatch of their ex
ecutive duties. The purpose of the
club, besides being honorary, is to be
of material benefit to the campus in
the furthering of interest in campus
activities. The members are to act as
hostesses whenever called upon for all j
visiting women on the campus. Mem- j
bers are to be active for one year, and :
during the sophomore year they are to
be supervisory members. Members will j
ibe chosen each year upon the recom
mendation of the heads of houses.
The officers of the Thespians are:
Winifred Graham, president; Nila Mc
Ginty, vice-president; and Cleo Base,
secretary and treasurer.
Although it has been meeting infor
mally since organization, regular meet
ings will be held every second and
fourth Wednesday of the month at the
houses of the represented organizations.
The first meeting will be at the Chi
Omega house.
The members are Marjorie Baird,
Julia Gagan, Marie Myers, Helen La
Fontaine, Eugenia Page, Jean Perry,
Mary Harris, Frances Lyons, Mary
Skinner, Martha Pickens, Geraldine
Morrison, Cleo Base, Edwina Bichens,
Winifred Graham, Dorothy La Boche,
Wave Anderson, Nila McGinty.
HUGE TAX SITUATION
CONTINUES UNCHANGED
Reduction League Divided on
Possible Initiative Bill
i
3 -
Divergent opinions in the Oregon Tax
1 i Reduction league in the matter of the 1.2
1: mills tax for the support of higher edu
; cation are still unreconciled, according
r i to the latest information reaching here.
, The present status of the discussion is I
i'as follows:
| The Tax Reduction league seems to
have come divided into two camps, one
. camp does not belives that the 1.2 millage
i should be repealed without providing at
least a partitive substitute in the law.
This camps supports the proposal of
. Christian Schuebel of Oregon City, who
i desires to incorporate the repeal of the
millage in an initiative measure that
■ would also revolutionize the assessment
. procedure of the state,
i Mr. Schuebel’s proposed bill provides
for compulosry cash valuation of all real
; and personal property except farm lands,
which would be assessed at 50 per cent,
all improvements, whether farms or else- ■
i where, all stocks of merchandise, all
holdings of corporations (excepting land) |
and developed and undeveloped water ■
power would be assessed at cash value.
Mr. Schuebel thinks that this system .
would raise the present assessed valua- i
tion of the state 300 per cent thereby ■
automatically lowering the general rate 1
of taxation and relieving land of a con
siderable of the present burden. !
The other camp is under the leadership ■
of J. C. Cooper, of McMinnville, presi
dent of the Oregon Tax Reduction league,
who desires to initiate a separate bill
for the repeal of the millage. *
At a meeting in Portland Monday these
different camps were unable to arrive at
any agreement and left, each deter
mined to pursue its own course.
Each camp has until the 6th of July *
to get a bill on the ballot. Whether they 1
will succeed without a united front is *
uncertain. 7
