AT 80 years of age the head of the
Salvation Army. after more than half a
century of almost unceasing activity,
is as vigorous and untiring as at any
time in his career. The inexhaustible
vitality and intellectual and physical
activity of this social reformer, philan-
thropist, preacher, author and traveller
are marvellous. At fourscore he is
travelling many thousands Of miles
over the world every year. controlling
the destinies OF his more than 1000
corps of Salvation soldiery with their
$4,000 commissioned officers, distribu-
ted among every civilized country,
preaching constantly to vast audiences
and doing an amount of literary work
that would be factor to many a pro-

William Booth was born on April 10
1929, in Nottingham. England, and was
trained for the Methodist ministry
which he entered and became one of
the strongest evangelistic forces in
that church He grew dissatisfied
however. at reaching only those with
some religious training and convic-
ton. He felt that there were thou
sands whose need was far greater and
he gravitated TO the East end of Lon

was the rule.

eALVATiON ARMY CELEBRATES

ALL LANDS DO HIM HONOR
Day is Marked in America by Launch

New York.-With great mass meet
hgs in every city and rejoicing wher-
over its soldiers are found. the Saliva

sightieth birthday of its founder and

Booth All the Christian world par
tcipated In the occasion. for every
where the venerable philanthropist is
honored for his deeds for unfortunate
humanity
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part in the celebrations held by
hts devoted soldiers.

workers In social service. The uni
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago, and 1t Is expected
TO begin with fund of $1000.000. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in COM

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
nrst 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-
hminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great
Growth Of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
mat the whole intricate modern ma
ohinery of civilization for the uplift-
Ing OF the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now so essential
= part of modern life. is to a 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. II 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 crimeinfested 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
Fapidity 1t has developed into truly
astonishing organization.
Some of the departments of its
Work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
mebriates' homes. Boys and Girls
homes. Farm colonies. Emigration,
Naval and Military homes. Maternity

homes. nursing, Samaritan brigades,
hospital and benevolent visitation. po-
lice court work and Indian school
training.
No oher religious organization in
the worlds history has branched out
into SO many departments of philan-
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part OF its religious duties.
Need of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University of HUI
manity grew naturally out of the de-
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With a field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
of workers that can be secured and
It's effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness of these workers. AS
uplift work has grown from local eff
forts to help a few into a great in
elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be-
come science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
of personal qualities of insight and
altruism There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional quail
ification These qualifications must
first of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe-
cial training.
This is the new work planned by
Gen. Booth Those women. for in
stance, who are to go among the
slums of the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulness can best be Sc
cured. They must understand by a
study of practical sociology some
thing of the social forces that create
this poverty and crime and wretched-
ness. They must understand the dan
ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
the value OF better living conditions
in raising the moral courage of those
to whom fate has been unkind. They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impart
their knowledge and to inspire with
a desire for betterment.
Value of the Organization.
This will be but a small part of the
universitys training in social service
as planned by the patriarchal evangel-
list, but it serves to show of what value
such an organization will be.
