 gro the great social service and charity reforms the labor question, is d fundamental issue," he declared. and the great negro school is one solution, in my mind. to the question.
 ssThe Charity and Prison Reform, which is to be organized in Montgom- cry. will include. in its widest sense, every form of social uplift. And to any social uplift some betterment of the labor situation isf essentialy Such Improvement is a preventive, while charity and prison reform stands as treatment of thu halt and the lame and the sick. And as prevention is vastly more important than alleviation, tna- fuE2lly, so the lADOT QuoStiOus anu ASS innprovement, Is to my mind. the basis of any social uplift movement"
 pr. Henderson told Of his work In the field of sociology, which consists largely in the investigation of reform movefnents. and of such charity and prison reforms as will be launched tonight. It covers, as he stated in an interview Thursday night, a vast field, throughout Europe and America. It hA ufo lad nh benevoleit and helpful work, study of protective laws, q ,reseach into the conditions of the laboring man, a study of charity of every form: edu- eatfonaI, monastic, aims giving, re- form of prison life, betterment or elim- ination of child labor systems. prohl- bttion laws, and all the movements ' that tend toward the uplift of hu- manity. of any and every man, woman and child.
 pr Henderson told of how his sso- ciological work led him and his pupils hither and thither in a research into every reform movement, into every charity. into every law and statute that is framed for the purpose of aiding or lifting the masses to a higher plans. or for alleviation or correction.
 Already, he declared. the social ser vice movements are widespread. There are several fundamental organizations In the world. covering international fields. of which the International Con- ference of Correction and the Inter- national Prison Congress are two. There Is an American organization, also, which covers work of charity, and of the correction of deficient con- ditions of life or administration, in 5 the United States, Canada and Mexico. And in addition to these, he stated, ttere are bodies in many States, such as.t the one whose organiza tion tonight is contemplated. These organizations are individual, are not a part of the international or national associations, and yet embrace the various branches of charity and correction of which the larger organizations give exposition
 Dr. Henderson announced his in- tention of visiting Spain within a short time, to study the conditions, and inc huence of monastic charity. He told of this merely as an illustration of the extent and character of work In sociology, and of the research em- braced in the great social service movements.
 He also told of an effort that is be. ing made to bring the International Prison Congress. which Is held every five years, to Washington in 1910. The last Congress, of 1905, was held in Paris.
