CHARITY ORGANIZATION
PRELIMINARY STEP TOWARD
CENTRNLtINTION.
Sis Philanthropic Organizations have
Agreed TO Arrange a Town List OF
Recipients of Charity.

The various charity organizations of
the city have taken the first step tow
ard the concentration movement.
At a meeting held this week there
were present Representatives from six
different organizations. including the
Strangers Friend. the Portuguese So
ciety, the British Benevolent Society.
the German Society and the American
Relief Society. The Hawaiian Society
has since been consulted and express
ed a willingness to cooperate i'm the
movement.
Vt least this much was accomplish
ed. \ committee. comprising a repre-
sentative from each society. was enc
sen, whose duty it will be to arrange
IA town list of charity cases. When
this has been done with fun record
of each case attached. one of the
committee will be delegated to keep
the list for reference.
1t is proposed that this individual
will act in the capacity of a general
secretary, so to speak, of all the char
ity societies. He will make il his bus-
ness to keep up the list with the new
cases that may be reported or come
under his observation.
The specially appointed COMMITTEES
is now engaged in the work of pre-
pairing the list. \ report will he
made at the general meeting in a few
days.
So one step will be taken this year
toward associated charities for Ho:i-
olulu and another step will be taken
next year, by which time it is the
hope of the majority of the charity
giving people that the Honolulu socie-
ties will have well organized sys-
tenn.
TO use the words of a gentleman
| who is largely interested in charity
work, spoken this morning: What
| we need here is a system for distri
| buting charity funds that will suit
| the conditions. No patent method
which has worked successfully in the
States. will answer the purpose
here. If the societies could come to
