by which ii ls hoped to some day have complete record Of all outdoor re- iief In New York can be seen by a glance at the last annual report. rn- quirles about cases came from 533 or gsnisations of various kinds, and from sse individuals. all willing to help ap- pbcants, but unwilling to duplicate me soeletys work or help whose not In need. Inquiries came from sixty nine New York churches, eleven mis- sions. two sisterhoods, forty-eight hos pitais and dispenaaries. nine day nur- series nineteen homes, eight settle ments, thIrteem schools and from courts, newspapers. police precincts, employment bureaus and state re- formatoFies
 The Reception Bureau records each day about 100 interviews and many letters. There are people asking for work. and people seeking workers. such as clerks. stenographern. servants or settlement workers. There are people bringing donations Of clothes and money, and people asking for these in the name of charity There are employers asking about tuber- culosts camps where faithful employees may be placed, others asking for homes for crippies. for working girls. or for aged women and there are people asking in person for admission to such places. There are social workers from organizations in this and other countries. asking a compari- son of methods and Ideas for further ing the great uplift throughout the
 world. There are individual easAs that ask not material aid. but friend ly advice and direction. One Of tho | greatest works Of the Society has been to put out of business the spuri-
 ous collectors soliciting for charities that did not exist.
 With the Association for Improving | the Condition of the Poor. this Society
 maintains a joint application bureau,
 and about fifty calls a day were re-
 celved the past year Of the 4.sO0 that came to the bureau for advice,
 three-fourths were homeless. Tho
 majority were men between the ages | Of 20 and 70. newcomers looking for 1 work. Few were immigrants and few | had lived long in New York. For l gIKch as these temporary relief was
 always given at once. The wood yard offers work in exchange for tenn | porary lodging and wholesome food
 that builds up where poor food and | irregular eating had torn down. some
 are sent to hospitals and some given
 transportation money to reach home | or to get to promised work. Others
 are sent to the municipal lodging Ihouses which. in the great npIift 1 movement Of the quarter century,
