A NEW SCHEME OF PHILANTHROPY.
II Proposes an Exchange of Commodities
An Equivalent of Time and Labor.
written for the Dispatch)

At the monthly meeting of very large
and important woman's club. among the
papers was one, giving an outline of
proposed bencvolence, which commanded
general attention. To glance backward.
by way OF explanation. this woman's
club has been instrumental in establish
ing free. successful employment bureau
which has aided a large number of peo>
pie TO obtain work.
With a view of steering clear of the
special difficulty of the philanthropist-
in other words to accomplish its mission
of aiding the poor person. without in
turing his self-respect and undermining
his independence. this paper offered
plan which was substantially and in brief.
as follows:
First Of all. IL proposed n division of
charitably-nclined women into classes:
For instance:
Mrs. A., having large means. but lin
tied leisure. gives money.
Mrs. H.. having no money TO spare.
gives worn but good clothing.
Mrs. c.. having no available cash on
hand. gives provisions, groceries, and fuel.
Mrs. d. gives a portion of her time to
instruct the poor in preparing their food
properly, ana VI ildhu6 tHtir 'iothiiS'
According &C. the plan each of these wo-
men would receive in return for the
money the clothes, the provisions, or the
times she gives, an equivalent in labor,
according 10 her needs.
one woman perhaps, would accept as
sstance In the kitchen In some time Of
extra domestic pressure; another might
prefer an hour of service about the house
each day In sweeping, busting. or some
work of like kind. Still another might
desire IN return for what she gave, the
labor of laundress.
Each woman having something to give
In the way of money or other bounty
would be requested 10 acquaint the bureau
with the amount and kind OF II. and also
with the kind OF labor she would like to
receive in return.
Each woman having something TO give
in the way of labor. would be invited to
let the bureau know what kind of work
she could perform.
The bureau would then set a certain
valuation upon the bounty and the labor
Ghe latter being generally paid by the
hour, and SO would effect an exchange OF
commodities. as 1t were.
While laying before women of the
well-to-do class this excellent plan.
which could be carried out. even in small
towns TO the general benefit. / should like
to urge upon them the fact that II the
service offered in exchange for commodi-
ties proved crude. they could scarcely
confer a greater benefit upon their kind
than by sacrificing time and ease TO i'm
prove II and render II intelligent and
acceptable. GRIFFITH NICHOLAS.
