Some Significant Figures.

Some figures are given in the an
nual report of the Associated Chari-
ties which viii do more to impress
the community with the practical
value Of that organization than miles
of argument. and which deserve,
therefore. an emphasis beyond the
body of the statement There is a
peculiar inclination of human nature
TO suspect whatever is slillfully or
ganlzed and held 10 it's organization,
and that disposition has led 10 rather
widespread underestimation Of organ
lied charity.
These figures are a sufficient an
swer. In the past year. for example,
the workers of the Associated Chari-
ties We're so far personally interested
in applicants for aid that they found
employment for 5S4 of them. That
is a pretty eoOd test Between giving
Q beggar 10 cents and hnding him
work lies the whole gulf of which
separates degradation from self-help.
Clothes were found by this ma
chine" which enabled 30S children
to so 90 school. That is not only
vastly better for the community than
sending them to jail, but cheaper
besides.
Special help was provided for 527
sick persons. over 375 citizens were
Interested as volunteer workers. and
the total number of their visits on
the poor was 9.9l3, while the paid
agents made 20.000 visits. one OF the
most valuable and interesting features
of the Associated Charities is a
scheme for encouraging savings
among the applicants. In the past
year 1856 persons were encouraged
To save a total of S5,4l5.
Other charities may do good. But
it is by no means certain that they
90 not also do much harm. The
city's only safety lies in The organiza-
