How to Deal With Pauperism.
Professor Richard T. Ely, in North America,
Roviow


What has been said about causes Of pauperism
makes it easy to understand the nature of the
remedies required. 1t is necessary to go back of
the phenomena which lie ON the surface to I'M

Of more importance than things which are seen.

to be independent, self-respecting and respected
citizens. Less may be done for the adults who

the "iost and iapsed classes" but even for most
OF these much can be accomplished by bringing
wholesome, influences to bear. The class re-
garded as most hopeless OF all Is that OF fallen
women, but the Salvation Army's "Slum Sister
hood" consisting of young women of character
who go among the most degraded, have secured
success even among these. The secret 10 to 90
