X done that Is worth while?
wv Here is one thing at least.
The women's clubs Of Or
ange, N. j., secured the
appointment Of sanitary inspector of
their own sex. She Is Miss Helen d.
Thompson. Investigating unclean back
streets and back yards and nosing In
to unpleasant tenements seem rather
odd work for a Vassar graduate, yet
this Miss Thompson Is and does, and
the result shows her to be the right
woman In the right place. 1t has been
proved that there are localities In
which a woman sanitary inspector is
more efficient than a man and that
the interior of tenement house Is
one of these. Part of the region known
as 'the OrnngesT is noted for its emil
nently high tone and admirable SAM |
tary condition. Dhis Is specially true |
of East Orange. But there are also
the city Of Orange itself and the town
ship of West Orange, and all these
are under the eye of Miss Thompson.
Orange has considerable population
of Italians and Hungarians Of the
laborng classes, and what they know
of common sanitary cleanliness could
be printed in large type upon a ten
cent piece and leave room for an orna-
mental border. In one instance in
Orange large block Of tenements was
drained outright into swamp ct the
back of them, and this menace to lire
and health remained year after year.

, tanned by house to house visitations.
Sanitary reform, like charity, must be-
gin at home and the mothers Of the
poor and i lorant classes trust wo-
man where they would be offish to
man inspector and suspicious of him.
Miss Thompson learned Italian enough
to talk to che women. She has also
! a native tact and kindness that
opened their hearts to her so that good
, results from her work appeared very
o soon.
