the rottenness of her army organization

the strife began almost everyone has said:

AT HELEN GOULD'S HOME
PARIS EXHIBIT OF THE LEAGUE
FOR SOCIAL SERVICE VIEWED.
object Of the Society Explained by
President Josiah Strong to BE
Social Betterment.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Miss Helen
Gould to-day entertained at her home on
Fifth avenue one hundred visitors invited
to view the exhibit TO be made by the
League for Social Service at the Paris ex-
position.
Miss Gould was assisted in receiving by
Mrs. Russell Sage. Among those present
were Admiral and Mrs. Philip, John Bar
rett, John H Patterson of Akron. o., Miss
Jane Adams of Chicago. and Miss Grace
H. Dodge.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president of the league,
explained the purpose of the exhibit fol-
lows: Last May the government request
ed the League for Social Service of this
city to prepare an exhibit for the Paris
exhibition of 1900 which should illustrate
the various movements in the United
States for social and industrial bet
terment. Social economy is attract
ing more and more attention. The
Industrial revolution which came with
steam power is being followed by social
revolution which is forcing upon us social
problems Of first magnitude. When power
was concentrated in the steam engine IN
dustry became centralized and organized
in the factory. Young men and young
women on the farm and in the farmhouse
had learned to do a hundred things which
at the same time developed vigorous
body, a trained hand and well-stored
mind. All this education of brain and mus
Gle was under the moral influence of
parents and home. When these young peo-
pie were attracted to the city all was
changed. In the factory or store they
tended a machine or a counter, often I'M
der conditions alike unfavorable to health
and morals.
Again, the crowded tenements of the
city became not homes, but mere sleeping
to supply the home conditions, impossible
possible moral physical, intellectual and
spiritual growth. Again. the churches, gen.
orally failing to discern the signs OF the
times. do not recognize physical needs. and
so lose their hold on the multitude. Then
the Salvation Army arose to make prac-
teal application of religion to actual life
and to show that true Christianity is phil
anthropic, and that true philanthropy Is
Christian, and thus to lay hold of and to
elevate the submerged tenth.
municipalities are feeling more deeply
the Importance of providing conditions
necessary for physical and moral health.
Employers of labor are beginning TO see
that stronger workmen can do more work:
that more intelligent workmen can do more
conscientious work, and that ii pays, there
fore. to invest something in the manhood
of their men. Types and illustrations %
what is being done in these several spheres
of the league has been collected and
after the close of the Paris exhibition we
expect this exhibit will be returned to the
league to become the nucleus of a social
museum which will, in many ways which
we cannot even suggest, serve to improve
social and industrial conditions.
