The general session tcnlght consider ed "Nedy Families in the Homes," and " Co-operation Between Women 's CIubs""and Organized Charities." The report of the committee on needy f am ili?s in their homes was read by James F. Jackson of Cleveland, Ohio, and the latter subject was introduced by an address by Mrs.' Clara P. Bourland of Peoria. Illinois. A diseussion follow ed both subjects Jackson 's report was in part: "The change of emphasis in tne prin ciples of organized charity has come in the direction of a more positive, eon- strnctive and thorough going policy. "Organized charity no longer stops at remedying individual needs; it in quir?s into the general causes which produee them. The evils, for example, of overcrowding in tenements lead to the housing problem and sanitation and the anti-tuberculosis campaign to fresh air work and public playgrounds. In thus striving to i?al witn the primary causes, organized society, while no less individualistic in treatment, has ac quired civic responsibilities. Thongh not "neglecting individual, needs, it has become-mor? radical and endeavors to prevent them. On such grounds char ity claims to be a living, growing move ment." : 'I - - '. r - - ' .
