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

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.

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.

them. It teaches th-m to sew, and later
places them as seamstresses. They are

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

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

Is right it must be directed against
the spread of tuberculosis from the bo

"Vast Interests, economic as well as
humanitarian, hinge on the solution of
this question. To an early and posi

on human beings is necessary."
The views of physlclsns, health offi
