FLAT LIFE BAD FOR FOLKS.
SO SAYS THE REV. DIR. RATNSFORD
IN HIS PARISH YEAR BOOK.
Conditions in Apartment Houses Are In.
favorable TO Children and Dispose
Grown Ups Not 10 Want a Home Of
Their Own-Church Problem in This.

In the year book Of St. Georges Church.
issued yesterday, the pastor. the Rev. DR..
W. S. Rainsford, expresses the opinion that
dwellers in apartment houses and flats
are with difficulty interested in their neigh
borhood, their church or in any municipal
or polit ical responsibility He also thinks
that apartmen do not afford a real home
life and that the conditions in them are
unfavorable to children.
DR.. Ransford mentioned these things in
discussion of how best the church can
reach the dwellers In it's neighborhood.
He says that changes in living have necessi
tated changes in the methods OF this church
work, First, he says. the residence house
changed to the boarding house.
Now" continues DR.. Rainsford. we
are confronting another change. The
boarding house is largely changing into
the apartment house, and l am not sure
but the latter offers a greater problem to
the church than either the tenement house
or the boarding house.
"Mv experience leads me to believe that
there are a great many unhealthy and un-
natural elements attending residence in
small apartments, People fit from one to
another, and | notice that after families
have lived for few years in an apartment
of their own.
housekeeping, of course. in these flats
is made easy; everything that can be done
by mechanical appliances is SO done.
Housekeeping duties are reduced to a
minimum, All this may be good thing
as Offering more leisure to the housewife,
but on the other hand the conditions of fiat
houses seem to be unfavorable TO children.
"and so far as one may Judge they do
not permit real home life.
"One thing ! know certainly: It is ex-
tremely difficult to get the people living
under these conditions to take any interest
in the neighborhocd. in the church, or in
any political or municipal responsibility.
Dr. Rainsford also thinks that church
societies need shaking up, reorganizing and
even breaking up once in a while.
when rector is called to break up 80
cieties in a church there is usually good
deal of heart burning aroused as q conse-
ouence," he says, -and ! am pleased to say
there has been very little Of this in the par
ish Let me remark here in passing that
l think it is often as necessary to break up
old societies and re-create or abolish them
altogether. as it is to form new ones"
The financial report shows that for all
purposes the church raised S94, 1857 during
the year There are at present 5,2l8 COM
