move at once any misgivings touching
the practical benefits Of this organiza-
ton.
II stood I'm no need Of vindication. Its
worK has undergone the test Of years.
It is directed by men whose names are
a guarantee OF good administration. II
deals with the problems Of poverty as
such problems are dealt with. if dealt
with wisely, in other and larger cities.
It's system is not theoretical. but practi-
caI-not experimental. but Of demonsuat-
ed efficacy for the public good. It COM
meuds itself the most strongly to those
who appreciate its scope most clearly.
But. while not in need Of vindicauon.
the Associated Charities was in need Of
better understanding by the public, and
this is now secured. The committees
findings wilI-at least they should-silence
those uniformed if well-meauing people
who are ever so ready 70 indulge in
criticism Of things about which they
know so little, and Of whom Washing
ton appears at times to have an undue
number. In this case the gentleman who
made the unfounded attack which prompt
ed the investigation was compelled TO ad-
nit subsequently that he had never taker
the pains to look into the organizations
methods and administration. But he may

may have taken root in the public mind
We commend TO all our readers a care
full perusaI OF the committees report or
the Associated Charities. Then, we fee
I sure, there will hereafter be freer ant
fuller support Of the excellent work.
