Modern Woodmen Turn Over 500 to
the Y. N. C. A. Building Fund.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
So successful has the Modern Wood
mems picnic of June s proven, that last
night the local lodge decided to donate
500 to the building fund of the Y. M. G.
A.
The committee appointed BY the Man
kato lodge of Modern Woodmen having
charge Of the picnic held in this city
on June 9Th have completed. their work
and made their final report to the lodge
last night. The public already know that
the picnic itself was great success and
will probably be gratifed to learn that
financially also the committee succeed
ed in coming out ahead. In making the
report to the lodge the committee sug-
gested that, inasmuch as the money had
been largely subscribed by the citizens of
Mankato, the lodge instead of turning it
into the local treasury, donate $500 to
the building fund of the Y. M. C. A.
The suggestion of the committee was
acted upon fhvorably.
The committee wish to take this OPP
portunity to thank all those assisting
them in any way in making the picnic
success. Those who especially deserve
mention are The Daily Free Press for
untiring interest of company and it's
employees and the liberal use of it's To-
cal columns; The Daily Review for its
very kind assistance and use of its local
columns; the honorable mayor and city
council for the courtesy shown the com
mittee and assistance given, the city
fire department. for helping in the parade
and for so finely decorating the central
fire station; and the merchants and citi-
zens generally for their liberal financial
assistance and decorating of their homes
and places Of business. The committee
also feel under obligation to the Hon. G.
E. Whelan of Madison, Wis, who came
from great distance to deliver his ad-
dress and to Attorney B. D. Smith
and Hon. w. A. Funk for addresses
delivered by them at Lincoln park upon
that occasion; also those who acted as
judges in the various competitions for
which prizes were awarded.
In conclusion the committee wish to
say that they have spared no time or
pains in their effort to make the event a
success and hope that they have sue
ceeded well enough, so that should the
Southern Minnesota association ever de-
eide to hold another picnic in this city,
that they may go to the public with a
feeling that nothing has been done in the
past to in any way embarrass their flu
ture efforts.

Including the graduates OF the summer
school, out Of which it developed, there are
now 2io men and women holding the certih-
cate OF the philanthropy school. With the
exception Of four or five of the women
who seem to have abandoned active work
with marriage, all are busy in the philan-
thropic field.
Perhaps 10 per cent. are volunteers.
The rest are paid professionals. Among the
graduates are Kate Holiday Claghorn,
the Rev Anna Garlin Spencer, Christian c.
Carstens, William H. Allen and Lillian
Brandt. all occupying prominent places in
the professional philanthropio work OF the
city.
The summer school was started in 1898.
II had six weeks session and the course
consisted OF lectures discussions and visits
to institutions. This is still to be continued.
Last year, for the first time, a winter course
was held.
Its sessions we're late in the afternoon
and it was designed chiefly for persons
holding regular situations. This year the
policy has been radically changed. The
course is an all day course.
The morning from 10 ] o'clock is given
up to lectures and discussions. There are
two lectures each lasting an hour, and in the
hour following the lecturer answers ques-
tions and guides the discussions OF the
pupils.

societies. Besides there are courses for
persons whotpropose to seek situations
in institutions, in reformatories and homes
for children and the aged and which do
not belong to the strictly hospital class.
Besides intending professionals. the school
has already had many students among
volunteer charitable workers and con-
tributors to charitable funds. and 1t is eS-
peoted that the number Of these will in
crease. Several theological students and

spensing of Charity Taught as a Profession

In the resolutions accepting the endow-
ment for the school the central council
OF the society speaks OF II as filling -the
most important present need Of broad md
all embracing philanthropy The income
Of the gift is regarded as amply providing
for all present needs OF the school.
Speaking OF the school and its aims
Edward T. Devine, who acts as director,
said:
Every one now recognizes the value
Of expert philanthropio work both in
efficiency and economy. II has created the
preventive methods which correspond with
hygiene in medicine; IL has developed the
conservative principle Of helping people
to help themselves, which Is the correlntve
Of conservative surgery.
1T is no longer necessary to defend
or explain professional philanthropy. The
time has passed forever when II was thought
that mo person should be paid for doing
charity work unless he would otherwise
be an object Of charity himself
'Old-tfme haphazard relief wen meaning,
but handled by ignorant and irrespon-
sible people, was waste az effort, waste
OF money and waste Of humanity. The
scientific work Of to-day calls for trained
specialists. There Is as much difference

The New York School Of Philanthropy,
IN which John S. Kennedy gave an endow-
ment of Sf50,o0O two weeks ago, is already
a robust institution with twenty-six stu
dents taking its full course this year and
rpme twenty more pursuing partial courses.
lis sessions are held in the rooms OF the
Charity Organization Society at Twenty
second street and Fourth avenue. 1t has
4 large staff of instructors. a regular course,
field work which corresponds with clinical
training in schools of nursing, examina-
tions and a certificate which it issues to all
whom its officers are willing to recon-
mend for regular employment in chari-
table or kindred work.
There is a large and growing demand
for graduates in philanthropy. In and
about Now York there are more than 1000
s'lnried places for which the diploma Of
The school would be recommendation.
In the entire country there are probably
1900 such positions.
Yet there is only one other philanthropy
school, the one attached to Harvard and
Simmons College, Boston. The oompensa-
ton paid in such positions varies from
40 month to the salary Of a college pro-
lessor or the minister of large city church.

,ANS TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL


And I have found In America over 100
societies organized for the purpose OF beau
tifying cities. All these people are natural
material for the new movement And
will say that not In the world, not even In
Paris, where We think 90 much OF artistic
training, have found 90 much done In

among young children, such excursions
into the country from city schools. l
have been astonished at the singing Of
very small children, At the way they march
In and out Of their school buildings TO music;
at the widespread kindergarten work,
the enthusiasm Of the teachers. Nowhere
In the world, honestly believe, is 30 much
done TO render school and study attractive
to children.
sIn all this America is taking her right
ful place at the head OF the world In creating
a class OF workers who will not be salts
fed with the treadmill OF existence, varied
by excursions into vice and coarse arnuse-
ments. America has no garden cities,
but I believe 1t is the future homo OF tho

only by an intelligent movement to
stop this awful congestion OF cities can the
physical and moral degeneration of the
race be stopped. Enough broad minded
and public spirited manufacturers can be
found to start it, and then it will grow Of

eloquently to the conditions OF the medim-
val city. ~
There was no idea Of municipal functions
a. we understand them in modern city life,
the creation by the municipality of sani-
tary oonditions. light and water supply.
That is all matter OF the nineteenth CEN
tury. at
"The modern city had its birth in the
French revolution. Louis XIV. and Louis
XIV. were, indeed, not without big ideas
for Paris, and they created palaces, royal
pleasure grounds, boulevards and churches
which added to the beauty and interest Of
the city. But these things. done to crafty
royal pride, were of almost no benefit to
the people and did not affect medieval
conditions In the least.
1The work Of remaking Paris was begun
almost Immediately after the revolution n
and was continued both under the first
Napoleon and the restoration. But IL was
under Napoleon III. that the really oon-
prehensive work was done, following a
huge and definite scheme Of improvement ,
Baron Haussrnann was Prefect of the
Seine from 1858 to 1870. In that time he
created gigantic boulevards and avenues
by the hundred, cutting them straight
through ancient congested quarters. He
laid out large areas OF squares, pleasure
grounds and parks, all open to the pc ople.
Best Of all, he developed a modern
sewer system. water system and scheme
Of public service, It was the achievement
Of Haussrnann primarily which made Paris
the pleasure ground Of the world and has
diverted millions from the tourist public
into the Golfers Of Paris.
This idea OF making the modern city
a hygienic and beautiful place to live in
has been grasped by the world. Berlin,
Birmingham, London and a score of other
large cities may have improved upon It in
certain respects, but they took the idea
