DEDICATION TO BE HELD TODAY OF NEW HOME FOR WORKING GIRLS Volunteer! of America Prepared to Give a Borne Under Proper Influences to Girls Who Toil for Meager Wages in the City. W. ft.- e-- " 1 " 'r:":'r.J . I I E mm --erer; e-B-HE Working I was recently opened by the Vol unteers of America In Portland and which will be dedicated today, la tha first of Its kind to be erected on the Pacific Coast by thla organization, although they have many of these homes In the Eastern States. Irs. Walter Duncan. Colonel of the Volunteers, who tas charge of the work en the Pacific Coast. Is In Portland from Saa Francisco to attend the dedi cation, deliver some lectures here and organise a board of business men, who, together with officers of the organisa tion, will keep In touch with the man agement of the home. At the present time the home Is oc cropied by It girls, which Is all It will ooommodata at the offset. Those In "barge ef the-place say they have many CC' rA5 Girls' Home, which , applicants which they ara unable to la to fur- care for. The purpose of the home nlsh a home under proper Influences for the working girl who has a small alary, and also to shelter those who are slrk or out of work. When a girl Is working, she Is charged .1 a week for room and board. She also has the use of the parlor and iano. The bed rooms are large, light and airy and It Is the purpose to create a real home In fluence for the girl away from home. Special efforts are. made by the or ganisation to get In touch with girls from the country who come to the city to work out. as It Is thought these girls need ajvlre and help. "We believe." says Mrs. Duncan, "that more good comes in preventing the ruin than tn rescuing after the ruin Is done. We want to get In touch with yeung girls who have no home and are compelled to work for a living and fur- i - : . . i i hi - .,.v'v;. t v nlsh them the proper surroundings and riRmpiH J' the temptation which always confronts a working girl. "We also have two homes In the West for children, where In six years we have cared for 12.000 cases. . We take the neglected and abandoned chil dren from the street and if we can free them from the parental right, we place them in private homes. We believe that environment has more to do with moulding character than anything else. Thus in our homes for girls we remove everything that breathes of a boarding house or Institution and make of them real homes." ... it In addition to conducting the home In Portland, the Volunteers of Amer ica work among the girls, answering calls and giving assistance and advice whenever they are needed. FILM BAflSsWEEPiNG CRCSADE OXTY AGAIXST HARM FCIi MOVING FICTCRE6. Manager People's Institute Says Many Pictures- Have Educational Value to Children. In regard to the attitude of the com mittee which haa been appointed by some of the leading women's organi zations of the city to outline plans for a crusade against the movlng-plcture shows. Miss Valentine Prichard, one of the committee, and tlie d.rector and manacer of the People's Institute, makes the following statement: "I feel that something should be said on behalf of the committee In regard to this crusade. We are not going to condemn the picture shows; in fact we believe them to be educational If they are conducted along the proper llnej. I am positive that when the amusement companies understand Just what ire are working for they will do what they can to remedy the conditions. "I speak from many years' experi ence a a teacher and I do think there Is much educational value In the mov ing pictures If they have the right subject. The harm arises from the pic tures which depict crime and acts of lawlessness: also pictures which verge on Improper. I have personally investi gated many of the picture shows of the city, and while I found the light ing and' sanitation bad, I found many pictures which were really educational, but often these would be followed by something of a harmful nature. "I believe that each child la entitled to the best the world has to offer In art. literature and music, and If the parents cannot provide it, society should. "The moving pictures, I believe, would be very beneficial in the schools. Action attracts children and leaves a stronger Impression on them than talking. What they see In a moving picture they never forget, and if they see something of a helpful nature, it does the child material good. "It Is my wish to see this crusade go on and not alone remove harmful in fluences from the picture shows, but remove the harmful Influences of the comic supplements of the papers, tho billboards, cigar pictures, postal cards, and comic valentines."
