for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has just
consented to the beginning of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been

Growth Of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery of civilization for the uplift-
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now so essential
a part of modern life, is to very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could be be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
principle Of so-called missionary work.
This whole plan of campaign for
raising the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end Of Lon
don and under the impetus of William
Booths singular force of mind and
personality and the momentum that it
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity it has developed into a truly
astonishing organization.
Some of the departments of its
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
Inebriates' homes, Boys and Girls
homes, Farm colonies, Emigration,
Naval and Military homes, Maternity
