HASKIX. Copyright. l0S.y Frederio J. HaaJdn.) I New : Tort. . Nov. To enter the torn of the Charity Organisation socie ty of .New Tork Is like going Into a big, helpful hospital , whose warde are open to the care of special case of human ity's social and Industrial woe, and hose laboratories are devoted to the discovery - of the germs of want. Intem jwrance. Idleness, Inefficiency and ig norance that cause the two big diseases, poverty and crime. To recite your es pecial ease to the people In charge is like detailing It to personal friends; 'even better than that, for to the sym Spathy that friends give Is added the understanding and power of organised 'lielof ulness known only to the trained charity, worker. "-- ' Take for example, this . hypothetical Vase .f a widow with three children who, finding she cannot make her Xlght any further alone, asks for help. The ' society has arbitrarily divided the city into in districts, to facilitate Its work ing efficiency. It determines In which of these the widow lives, and an agent from the district office looks into the case. He first sees Just what her own earning power Is, since her Income is wot sufficient for her needs, and finds out how much help she may expect from her relatives or her churh. These SCIENCE and ART j falling, the agent goes 'carefully over I l b. . . .with h..' il I uuuiraicvt'tiiB ' vmwrv ......

This money is raised, as Is all money disbursed by the society, by private subscription, and is used ror ner vmu circumstances -.become better or until ber children are of legal working age. "Keeps the Home InUot," "Why not place the children In some good Institution and give -the mother a better chance?' asks the hypercritical outsider. Because one -or me carainst principles of the work is to keep the home Intact, having her children with her Is an Inspiration. If the mother UAiiin iw in nnwvr. nen nui wuu tuberculosis, then In Justice to herself and children she is removed to a nos- ital. while the children are piacea in nstttutions away from contagion. -.The oromotion or mcuviauai eiri clency. the encouragement of seir-nei confidence, are the .salient points that are developed In every Instance of the society's Intercourse with an applicant for help, yet in no case does It withhold Immediate material or moral help from the petitioner. It does not ask, .".worthy or unworthy?" but, "Needy or not needv'? All outdoor relief for the city isf K.w Vnrk. with a few specified ex ceptions is now In the nanas or. organ ised private cnaruy.

When ths New Tork State Board or Charities met In 1881. special report was made on outdoor relief work for New Tork city by Josephine Shaw low- ell. and it was clearly shown that there was great waste of efrort, energy and money, because there was no coopera tion amonc the societies dispensing charity. TJie Charity Organisation so ciety was the only logical solution to so big a question, its laws are nrm. nut haDDlly elastic, as they can meet the needs of the 12.000 or more cases that come up each year. . The government of the society Is ad ministered by a central council, a pres ident, vice-president and treasurer, elected from the membership of the council and all serving without pay. The general secretary is considered its real executive officer. The work of the council Is distributed among stand ing committees, large or small, as the work demands. Immediate Help. Ho Bed Tape. The "primary object, of the society, that of relieving distress by immediate help, Is exemplified in the registration bureau, the reception bureau and the bureau of advice und Information. The value of the registration system, by which It Is hoped some day to have ? complete record .of all outdoor relief in New Tork, can be seen by a glance at the last annual report. Inquiries about cases came from, 33S organizations of various kinds, and from S&O individuals, all willing to help applicants, but un willing to duplicate the society's work or help those not in need. Inquiries csme from 69 New Tork churches. 11 missions, 2 sisterhoods, 48 hospitals and dispensaries, 9 day nurseries, 19 homes, 8 settlements, 13 schools and from courts, newspapers, police precincts, employment bureaus and state reforma tories. The reception ' bureau records each day about 100 Interviews and many let ters. There are people asking for work, snd people seeking workers, such as clerks, stenographers, servants or set tlement workers. There are people bring ing donations of clothes . and money, and people uskinn for these in the name of charity. There are employers asking about tuberculosis camps where faithful employes may be placed, others asking for homes for cripples, for working girls, or for aged women and there are people asking in person for admission to such places. There are social work ers from organisations In this and other countries, asking- a comparison of meth ods and ideas for furthering the great uplift throughout the world. There are Individual rases that ask not material aid, but friendly advice and direction. One of the greatest works of the socie ty has been to put out of business the spurious collectors soliciting for charl Ules that did not exist. Tot the Workless Working-man. With the association for Improving the condition of the poor, this society maintains a iolnt aDoilcatlon bureau. and about 60 calls a day were received the past year. Of the 4.800 that cume to the bureau for advice, three-fourths were homeless. The majority were men between the aires of 20 and 40 newcom ers looktnx for work. Few were Immi grants and few had lived long In New rone. For sucn as tnese temDorarv relief was always given at once. The woodyard offers work in exchange for temporary lodging and wholesome food that builds up. wnere poor food and ir regular eatlna had torn down. Some are sent to hospitals and some given transportation money to reach home or to get to promised work. Others are sent to the municipal lodging houses which. In the great uplift movement of the quarter century, have taken the place of the old rolice station lodgings. The "Handicap Bureau." , perhaps the most Interesting bureau of all in the organisation's work is the "handicap bureau.' Here are classified those who are handicaped in the big race for existence by age. poor health, defective sight or the loss of an arm or leg. And, strange as It may seem, work can be usually found for them by the sunny faced woman In charge. Old men are sent as "handy men" into many homes, where they prove useful potter ing around; old women go for l'.Eht do mestic service, and even the deaf mute who is tin artist at filling; in on wall pater designs, will eventually be placed. All these will command the small wages which go with unskilled service, hut they will maintain their personal Independ ence a thing for whiih the society is ever helping- people utrlve. The incompetency of the unskilled Is a great problem for the society to meet. It teaches women to work In Its laun dries and later getx outside work for them. It teaches th-m to sew, and later places them as seamstresses. They are aia a living wage while they are lcarn- Crucial Question Could Be Solred, but Will Human ity Stand for It?

Dr. Brlggs suggests that a lure might be held out to convicts In the shape of an offer of pardon by the governor In the event that they survive the Inoc ulation. ' Dr. Brlggs In hie letter to the prison board says: , "If Koch Is right, our crusade sgalnst tuberculosis must be directed against the spread of this disease from one hu man being to another; if Von Behrlng Is right it must be directed against the spread of tuberculosis from the bo vine to the human family. "Vast Interests, economic as well as humanitarian, hinge on the solution of this question. To an early and posi tive solution, however, experimentation on human beings is necessary." The views of physlclsns, health offi cers and others interested In the cru sade against the white plague are be ing sought by the prison directors. Commenting on the plsn. Assistant United States Attorney. Robert T. Dev lin said last night: "Persons condemned to death might volunteer in the Interest of science. Condemned criminals would have to die anyway, and the experiments are not necessarily fatal. Cures have been ef fected and those who volunteer would he under the watchful care of physi cians. The condemned person has for feited his life to society and I cannot see why there should he any objection to such experiments, when the reasons for them are considered."
