q Columbian exposition to produce In a
%mprehensive bureau an exhibit that will
present the effort now being made and il
citrate the present facilities fer dealing
tn unfortunates who cannot take osre OF

d~ividuals with whom they deal into three
ksses-defective. dependents and dslin-
hents. The detectives are aubdivided into

anently disabled. The temporarily dis

endents includes those who are not wage

az not satisfactory. A Number Of for

bottom devoted to charities, n sent docu-
bents and charts to snow what they were

aupers and criminals of this country are
cling cared for, were missing. A. l re-
hember it, but one institution in this
'ountry was represented. was tie
he great Catholic protsotory OF New York

korld's fair from all the state boards OF
heritiss, state prison com lssloners and
ther organizations having a similar ottcial
unction. We will also receive assistance
Rom individual institutions and societies
nd from colleges in which scientific phil

provision, or lack Of provision. as the case
may be, in county jails and almshouses
where insane persons are tempor-
krilv detained. We will also show
What the hospitals and asylums do
or both acute and chronic GASES of
insanity. what is done in the way
bf family care of the insane, and what
training schools for nurses do to qualify
hurses to care for these u~nfortunatea. Then
will endeavor to show all the humane
appliances used to restrain insane persons
BIZ violent DISPOSITION. Where the pntients
hre employed we expect to have illustrations
bf their work.
"We will show the work that is done in
hll kinds Of dispenseries, the operation OF
bick-diet Kitchens, the work of flower and
Fruit missions, the Rratuitous homo service
rendered to the poor bv physicians, the
organization and work of general and
special hospitals, and the general system OF
ambulance work. The division of outwork
to Juveniles will also be very in
lerestinR. We expect to show the work OF
children's aid societies. the societies for the

and the method Of conducting day nurs-

This work, as you know, is con.
on an enormous scale in all large

from the exhibit we will produce those who
are interested in it may Do able to derive
many valuable suggestions that can be put

The entire almshouse system OF
tho country, including tho homes for aged
and for tho adult blind. and the
work done BY societies for encouraging
habits of providence will also be shown.
