the term of confinement in prison by trying
probation before imprisonment, and parole
after it; and even with the insane and
other classes of detectives to try board in
decent homes instead of the more or less
unnatural institution life.
Either unwise relief or unwise custody
will do more harm than good, but the
latter is on the whole less open to abuse
than the former, and the doctrine of the
present day is that city governments
should support institutions for indoor
relief OF the poor, or for the sick, but
should give no relief outside of institutions.
No outside relief is now given by New
York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, St. Louis,
Baltimore, Washington, San Francisco,
New Orleans, Louisville or Kansas City.
and in our other large cities the amount
of public outside relief is steadily decreas-
ing. In New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia
and Washington city outdoor relief was
abandoned after it had been given for
years. 1t is now generally agreed that
this form of relief is better left to the
more flexible and personal methods of prl-
vate charity. In private charity WI are
not so apt to have the bare gift without
the giver, but the giver follows his giving
with continuous care; and, moreover, in
private charity, love, ingenuity and
patience will often find substitutes for relief
which help more safely.
These substitutes for relief are the glory
OF modern charity. In both public and
private charity it is being realized that
cure is better than care, but that preven-
ton is better than cure. Vaster sums are
being given in charity than ever before,
but they are going largely to libraries, to
Industrial schools and to reformator.es.
The good Samaritan is no longer the very
highest type of charity. Beautiful and
rare as such personal charity is, it has

she is nearly frantic. but, of course, she
cannot find the bird.
Mr.. Kellogg was one of the first of the
new school of sportsmen who hunt with
the camera instead OF the gun. He has
found photography OF great assistance in
probing the mysteries of bird life. Some
of his snapshots are wonderful. They
show the mother bird feeding her young.
or quarreling with the intrusive cuckoo.
One series of photographs illustrates the
love, courtship, marriage and family life
OF n pair of wrens. Great patience and
care were needed to secure these views.
The photographer had to conceal his cam
era in a mantle OF foliage, with only the
lens visible, and wait for days to get a
satisfactory snapshot.
At Salem. in New Jersey, there is an i'm
mense ~rookery, whittier crows flock at
certain seasons of the year from hundreds
OF miles around. This was the scene of one
of Mr.. KelloGg's greatest exploits.
For many years II had been the ardent
desire of many ornithologists to obtain a
photograph Of this rookery when the vast
focks of birds were assembled. No one
had ever succeeded in achieving this diff
fcult feat until Mr.. Kellogg did 1t. This
was how he managed it:
He reconnoitered the ground, and de-
cided that the only way to succeed was to
ambush during the day, and trust to a
lashlight camera to take the photograph
at night. In stalking strange birds, will
which he is unacquainted, he uses artificial
hayricks and bushes, under cover of which
he moves slowly towards them.
One winters night, when the crows ar
rived at their usual meeting place, they
observed nothing unusual in an ordinary
looking hayrick which had found it's way
to the spot. Inside that hayrick was Mr..
Kellogg with his powerful hashlight cam
era. There he lay all night in the snow,
with the temperature several degrees be-
low zero. taking photographs. while the
deafening cawing of 100, COO crows made the
night hideous.
Mr.. Kellogg was the first man to tackle
the celebrated Bird Rock" in the Gulf
Of St Lawrence, and take photographs OF
the millions Of Gannets that nest there.
He was lowered down the face OF n pre-
cipitous cliff in a rope chair, with his
camera slung around his neck. Swinging
dizzily on the rope; with hundreds of gan
nets shrieking around him and beating him
with their wings, he took several pictures
which have proved to be Of great value &c

National Conference of Charities, 1904
City and Its Dependents

been cleverly said that it would have been
still better charity to keep the road to
Jericho free from thieves. This would
have been not merely wiser, but also kinder
for the man who was set upon and robbed.
Cities now know that a good police de-
partment and good sCnool ana nealth depart
ments will lessen poverty. The police and
health departments decrease crime and
disease and the school department increases
education. In these ways they lessen
pauperism instead of relieving it. MuniC.
ipal libraries, Fairgrounds, baths, kinder.
gartens and manual schools and municipal
lodging houses all help to reduce vice and
pauperism. Municipal summer concerts
compete with the more dangerous attrac-
tions of the salotn. Municipal tenement
house ordinances, and in Greater New York
the admirable Tenement House Commits
sion, are routing poverty In its chief strong
hold. Where municipal ordinances will not
suffice the state often steps in, with com
pulsory education laws, and laws regulat-
ing the employment of women and children
in factories and stores and on the streets.
Hereafter, for instance, in New York and
Buffalo, boys under IA cannot sen
papers late at night, and boys under 1C
cannot sell at all. In city after city
juvenile courts are being established, so
that delinquent children will be saved from
all contact with adult vice. Through
probation they are given a chance to
reform, while a personal influence is
brought to bear to which the children
respond wonderfully.
Most or all of the measures Just men
toned were first tested by private philan-
thropy, and even where the action has
been official it has often been on the motion
of a society or individual. The charity
organization societies and settlements alone
are responsible for much good social work
Omaha daily bee., 1903-06-14

in our cities, which will bear rich fruits.
Nothing in this modern work is more Vital
than its personality. The early conception
OF a charity organization society In the
popular mind Yas "A sort of detective
bureau TO sift out fraud. Such societies now
make their trained workers a nucleus for a
great amount OF intelligent volunteer scrv-
ice which enters the homes Of the poor
with patient. continuing friendship, trying
to alter hard conditions and with the aid
Of church and school to lift and build
character.
Such work is winning the battle against
paupcrism. In one of our larger cities,
where there has been n charity organic
alton society for twenty-five years, it has
been shown that there are not as many
dependent families today as there were
twenty-five years ago when the city was
only one-third as large. The society is
much more closely in touch with all the
poverty of the city now than then and is
working with many families which would
not have been on it's books at all formerly
because they do not need material relief, but
nevertheless the total number of dependent
families has grown smaller while the city
has grown larger. Pauperism Is being re-
duced and not merely relieved; and with
the better work now done, and the better
outside influences, still better results can he
expected in the near future. Nearly all
voluntary poverty rests on some fault Of
character-on sloth or appetite or weak
willard It is here that the churches help.
Even with the aid of all the new social
forces it is slow work, but it is succeeding.
To the end of the world. as long as human
nature and human institutions are impcr-
feet, there will be richer and poorer. but
the squalid. bestial poverty of the past IL
certainly passing.

Wonderful Man Who Talks with Birds

with a broken wing futtering on the ground
and bounced upon it.
"Ah!' thought Mr.. kellogg, "the desire
for prey has broken out again, and the
teaching of years is undone."
But it was not so. The dog lifted the
sparrow gently in its mouth and bore it
unframed to it's master, evidently desiring
him to mend the broken wing. The bird
was in hospital for some time, and every
day the dog visited it to inquire sympa-
thetically how the wing was getting on.
When at last the bird flew away it's canine
friend baTked joyously and rolled on the
ground with delight. More marvellous still,
the sparrow returned several times to pay
a friendly call on the dog.
Now and then Mr.. Kellogg energies from
the woods to visit his friends and give a
few lectures on birdcraft. He is an un-
practical man, quite out of tune with the
age in which he lives. He cares nothing
for money. He would just as soon lecture
for nothing as for pay. His only purpose
in lecturing is to teach people to under
stand and love birds as he does, and in this
he is successful. Sportsmen go away from
his lectures Vowing they will not slaughter
another bird, and women make up their
minds never to wear another feather in
their hats.
A fashionable woman, wearing a bird in
her bonnet, sat in the front row of the
audience, at one of Mr.. Kellogg's lectures.
AS he talked about the romance and
tragedy of bird life. making the loves and
sorrows Of his feathered friends seem as
real to his hearers as their own, people
looked at the offensive bonnet with re-
proachful eyes. The poor woman blushed
wildly and tried to remove the bird fur
lively. At last the lights were turned down
to enable lantern slides to be shown. and
when they were turned up again the bird
had disappeared from the bonnet.
II never felt so bad in my life said
the woman afterward. THE people looked
at me as if they would have liked to treat
me as the bird had been treated. But that
was not the worst of It. I felt such a
monster. I'll not wear another bird or
another feather as long as I. live"
