THE BEST KIND OF CHARITY HELPS
PEOPLE TO HELP THEMSELVES.
By FREDERICK WELLER Secretary Associated Charities

Rules and Journalism are to be avoided in philan-
thropic work, but there is one fundamental principle
applicable to all charitable endeavor which cannot be
too often emphasized This one universal rule is sim
ply the familiar postulate of modern philosophy
Older philosophc systems taught that happiness,
condition of being, satisfactory state of feeling was
the purpose motive of mems lives. OF recent
years. however, philosophers have held that the pur
pose and deerminant of life is activity. That is
to say, men are active, not for the sake of vague
pleasures but for the sake of the activities them
selves
Man is constructed for work, for the perform
of various functions, and, in turn his struc-
lures determined altered by his activities. 1t
is obvious that phanthropsts can be helpful only
they cooperate with nature in realizing the most
wholesome possibilities of the people whom they are
striving to assist That is to say, then, that charity
work of any kind is beneficial in proportion as it
increases develops, improves the activities of its
benefcares. Charity does not help the latter when
it simply in their stead or does for them the work
which nature designed them TO accomplish for them
selves.
In many charitable institutions the older hypothe-
sis unconsciously prevails. Insane asylums jas, in
sttutions for various classes of defective, delinquent
and dependent people usually considered satsfac-
