(Signed) SECRETARY ASSOCIATED CHARITY"
Upon receiving this blank properly filled out
by the visitor, the Secretary will spread the
information in his Record, for the use Of the
public at any time, and send the blank SO filled
with the information which he desires to him,
placing him in condition to intelligently
render or refuse aid to the applicant. In addi-
ton to the investigations of visitors it is also
proposed that two members of the beard of
management shall weekly serve at the office
for an hour each day in investigating cases
which may not be clear, comforting with other
societies, &C., &c. By this means in short
time an almost perfect record of every case of
poverty will be made, and open to the inspec-
ton of benevolent societies and the public.
The following extract from the report of the
associated charities of Boston should be read
by everybody.
''The need of associating charities grows out
of the fact that in large city so many agen-
cies, besides countless benevolent individuals,
are at work on the same ground.
If any gaps are left suffering fails to lind
relief. If several visitors go in at the same
door relief may be excessive, and cause waste
of money and OF visitors time, and often
grave harm by pauperizing the recipient and
his family, and perhaps some of the neighbors.
All JleSo evils Call Uo dVOluou IL til0 CiidIi-
ties will unite in working in cooperation, Civ
ing and getting information of all relief. This
will enable each society, and probably each
person, to lessen the field of their work, and to
make their work more thorough. The four es-
seratidlS Of sound charitable system are inUeSti
gation relief, instruction and graduation. ANY
charity which only gives relief, without inves-
tigation often does harm; even with investiga-
ton mere relief falls far short of what the
strong owes to the weak. But where instruc-
tion and counsel, and cheer, and courage are
added, and can lift up any who are down, and
train them in ways making self-support posi-
BILE, charitable work becomes efficient for
good. AS soon as possible, help them
to legitimate work, and become in
dependent, and so graduate from the rolls of
charity. This is the great contamination, and,
when possible, makes charitable work COM
plete and very happy. In general, charity
has been content to investigate and relieve
But so many poor persons from vice, bad
habits, hereditary degradation, want of train
ing or self-discipline, have fallen so low that
this treatment no longer suffices. Many of
them learn to i've ON relief and like it. They
must be lifted up out of the slough and pushed
on to firm land. Every reason, even economy
concurs that it is wise to raise them into self
support, and then insist on their leaving the
lists of those who get aid. Instruction is often
aoorth more than relief. The young should be
early instructed to earn their own living, as
the only sure path to comfort and competence"
