THE Sanitary Housing Company's plan
gives by far the best prospect for the
greatest good from a philanthropic stand
point. Its plan of organiza ton gives op-
pcrtunity for investors of small sums to
aid In great work, and at the same time
receive return for the money invested
which they could not very we'll afford to
give outright. Then the working of such
q system will bring about condition con-
cGcive to higher living among the poor and
by its very environment the tone of COM
mon living will be raised among the peo-
pie who have but little opportunity to
experience, otherwise than by observation
the good effects of better housing condi-
tons.
With the ideas that are likely to come
from such opportunities there may be ex-
pected higher practical standard of liv-
ing chosen by the lowly themselves and not
enforced upon them, but engaged in
through their own choice of best interests
Moral suasion Is good, but often lacks &C.
casion for practical working. This great
want in the city will be met better by
the operations of the plan of The SAM

limit of his vision, or by the lack of &C

No movement of modern times appears to
me fraught with such tremendous posi-
biIities for good in saving and retaining
youth to good citizenship. II strikes at the
roots of the tree of crin1inality. We have
now no juvenile court. We do have sepa-
rate sessions of the Police Court for trial
of juvenile offenders. There is no warrant
in law for even this procedure. Any court
to be efficient must bescl0thed with distinct,
definite powers--in other words 1t must
have a legal existence. A bill providing
for such a court was introduced at the
second session of the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress and is numbered Senate, SAB.

of Washington as one on which all inter-

absolutely nothing said against the wisdom
of such a measure. l heard one of our
District Commissioners say recently that
the people of Washington could get in the
way of legislation whatever they wanted,
provided they were united and worked for 1t.
Now, for one, favor a union of all forces

Columbia for vigorous campaign to Sc

GEORGE S. WILSON,
Secretary Boz I'd of Charities.


From my point Of view, l consider the
most important forward step in local chart
table work during the year 1904 the action
of Congress in making an appropriation to
provide for the removal of the almshouse
from it's present location where it is close
ly associated with the workhouse, being
conducted as part of thess same institution.
1t has been for many years a disgrace to
the national capital that the only institu-
ton provided by the city for the care Of
the aged and infirm was conducted as
part of the penal institution and located
between the jail and the workhouse The
action of Congress last winter in granting
the appropriation referred to provides an
immediate remedy. The plans for the new
building have been made, and the con-
tractors are already at work upon them.
so that It should be possible to remove the
old people to the new Institution within a
comparatively short period.
II regard as the most important thing to
be worked for during the year 1905 new
municipal hospital. located on the site
owned by the District on Brightwood ave-
nue.. Congress having already provided
that those who are simply poor and not
criminal may be removed from the work.
house grounds, the next most important
thing, 1t seems to me, Is that the sick
also should be removed. The present city
hospital is located on the workhouse
grounds. and for this reason many of the
sick poor. in actual need Of hospital treat
ment. refuse to 60 to this institution. Aside

from the matter of location, however, the
present hospital Is wholly inadequate, be-
cause 1t Is not nearly large enough to ac-
commodate the patients needing its care.
For INDECENT Consumptives.
''The demand for a proper hospital for
the care of INDECENT consumptfves is espe-
c.ally urgent. Public sentiment is aroused
on this question. There is at present no
provision for this class of patients, except
the very limited accommodation provided
by tents erected through voluntary contri-
buttons the grounds of the Washington
Asylum Hospital. 1t has been found i'm
cases in these tents during the severe win
ter weather. and necessity has compelled
the placing of these patients again In the
general hospital wards, where they are
menace to the other patients. Provision
for the care of INDECENT conSumptiveS
should be made at once by the erection of
buildings on the new hospital grounds, and,
as soon as possible, additional provision
should be made for general chronic cases,
for convalescent patients, and for the
treatment of the inebriate. All buildings
for the care of these classes should be
erected on the new hospital grounds, and
as soon as possible the sick should be re-
moved from the present location on the
pital for the treatment of the cases re-
ferred to is most pressing necessity, and
the most urgent and immediate demand is
for the care of INDECENT conSumptives. If
beginning is made the coming year by an
appropriation for the erection of buildings
for this latter class a most important for
ward step will have been taken"

I'm my opinion the most important for
ward step in the field of philanthropy liz
augurated during the past year is unques-
tionably the sanitary housing which is now
in full and successful operation. The
sweeping and far reaching reports hereto
fore made by committees of our own citi-
ZeES eliminating in the report on the part
of Mr.. RiiS of New York which aroused
the conscience of our citizens to such de-
gree that 1t gave rise to the organzati ton
above alluded to. l know of no other prob
lem that Is 50 important as the housing of
the INDECENT and suffering, those whom mis-
fortune or conditions over " hich they have
no control drives into copgested districts
and into tenement quarters or squalid in
sanitary dwellings, so called
Those who have made a study of the
philanthrOpic conditions existing all over
the world have come to the conclusion that
among all the questions that confront the
generous and humane people is the one of
making a home for the struggling and
striving of our fellowmen, and that if the
large cities are afflicted with contagious
diseases, not only physical, but mental and
moral eliminating in anarchism and nihil-
ism, 1T is largely traceable to and has its
origin IN the insanitaIy conditions OF The
homes and the Expressions of the mind by
dissa tisfaction and unhappiness. There
fore, to bring about Il reform on these lines
is, in my judgment. forward step, a step
that tends to the uplifting and betterment,
IL
roundlngs, for there can be no question
that II slavery was curse for the white
Inan, then indeed insanitary homes are a
curse for their surroundings.
1T is most fortunate that the modern
trend is not to pauperize or to bestoW
charity called, but to bind philanthropy
with self respect and business methods,
thus the sanitary housing organization
while doing splendid work in the direc-
ton for which it was founded is at the
same time giving to its organizers a mod
crate per cent on their outlay. which is
couraging to capital, without degrading
the recipient thereof. And thus for the
year to come 1 look for the further devel-
opment and progress on the lines above in
dicated In addition thereto if Congress
will vote as has been recommended by the
District Commissioners and the board of
charities the money necessary to build
industrial training school for boys, it will
bring about a reform that will improve
vastly the conditions of the boys and girls
OF the colored people, whose training is
essential for their own welfare as well as
for the prosperity of the state. This train
ing school has been a longfelt want and
it is sincerely hoped that the coming year
will give US this vantage ground in the
field of applied and intelligent philan-
thropy.'
