IT might mention the active efforts made
by the committee on the prevention of
consumption and the committee on the i'm
provement of housing conditions.
THE public is arriving at better under
standing of the proper method of dealing
with the problems of pauperism and crime.
Spasmodic charitable work at certain sea-
sons of the year, giving dinners to the poor
now and then, indiscriminate almsgiving,
are not what is wanted, but well-directed,
systematic effort to remove the cause
Taking children from the streets and
slums and immoral surroundings and train
ing them as they grow up to become good
and useful citizens is a field of effort which
promises the best results. The board of
childrens guardians and the Associated
Chariues-one public institution and the
other private one, that is. supported by
voluntary contributions-are both doing
good work on correct lines, and Congress
would do well to enact any legislati
which they recommend. such as child labor
laws. juvenile court, curfew law and bet
ter housing conditions for the poor

Agent board of children's guardians.
II do not know that I could pick out
any one forward step in local philanthropic
work during the year 1904 and call it the
most important. There have been many
advances along many lines. There has
been a distinct advance in the co-opera-
ton and good feeling and a getting-at-the-
other-fellow s-point-of-vew on the part Of
agencies, institutions and individuals en-
gagged in philanthropic work Frequent
meetings, touching elbows and exchanging
experiences helping to solve each others
problems, through the medium of such
organizations as the Monday Evening Club,
have served to emphasize the oneness of
purpose which inspire all workers. No
one fellow knows it all There is a big
world beyond the rims of our own spec
tacles. This get-together tendency has been
fostered and forwarded during the past
year.
'"rhen there has been decided gain in
the awakening to the efficacy of the ounce
of prevention. Washingtonians are a deep
ly sympathetic people. In some directions,
quite especially along charitable lines, they
are inclined to let sympathy precede and
supersede sense. So our provisions. public
and private, for the care and support OF
all classes have multiplied. Few cities of
the size of Washington have more numer-
Gus or more literally managed institutions
and agencies. Our philanthropy has had
tendency to run riot in the way Of providing
and comparatively little in the way of pre-
venting During the past year, by the study
and agitation of remedial and preventive
measures such as a Juvenile court law,
compulsory education, public Fairgrounds,
settlement work, better housing conditions,
etc, it has been impressed upon us that
more work along these lines might result
eventually in less work along providing
lines.
Depends on Point Of View
Now, as to the 'one thing in this line
best worth striving to bring about during
1905 that all depends upon the point of
view and the field viewed. The great big
field of philanthropy is made up of whole
lot of little fields. each separately fenced.
as it were. yet lying contiguous and closely
related In interests affected. There are the
public charities and the private charities
with all their subdivisions and ramihca-
lions. Each one of these is a field for phil
anthropic effort in itself and each has In
mind doubtless what 1t considers an i'm
provement worth striving for The board
OF charities might say that uniform sys-
tenn of public control to accompany public
support should be striven for. The Asso-
ciated Charities might say that better hous-
ing conditions, or increased facilities for
the prevention of consumption, or more
public Fairgrounds are of pre-eminent i'm
portance. People interested. or engaged, in
work among children talk giibly and volubly
of Juvenile courts, compulsory education.

sarily colored by our particular vocations.

from this dread disease may be brought to

A child labor law and law for the COM
pulsory education of children are among
other things that it is hoped can be brought
about during the coming twelve months.
However, it is felt by the philanthropically
inclined that any one of these great needs
would be thankfully received and at the
close of 1865 it could be felt that the year s
work had not gone for naught.
Following are the views in detail of those

feel like naming these people a
rate, because we know that if we do,

of money go away from here which

we feel that we should name a rate,
