OF Infinite Value.
There is large percentage OF Pen
sacola people who do not begin to
realize the great good which the AS
/ sociated Charities is accomplishing
| nor the tact nor the brains nor the
executive ability which it is neces-
| sary for all who are concerned to
| possess.
| The secretary, the nurses, the visit
ing workers, are bound to be espec-
! tally tactful. often, in the ignorance
possibly, which frequently accompa-
MES extreme poverty.
When it is not ignorance, there is
possibly a super-sensitive condition
with which to contend, the foolish
pride of the very poor.
Often times a helpless old man,
who, by all the rules ever establish
ed by nature, can never hope to help
himself again, refuses outright to be
helped by the Charities, or by any
one else-and there you are!
Often times parents who have sick
| babies in desperate need of the
nurses, fatty refuse to allow them
to be taken away to the hospital
and there, YOU see, you are again!
Sometimes girls who have been
placed under the surveillance of the
association-craZy little giddy girls
with yellow hair and the kind of
blue eyes which may fool most any
body but the fellow who couldn't pos
sibly introduce her to his sister, don't
you know,-prove thankless and in
discreet and wriggle away by sheer
force and awkardnesS, and then the
association has its hands full, too!
oh, there are conditions and con-
ditions, don't you see!
1t used to be, a few years ago, that
when a strange girl struck town, she
might fall into the hands of almost
anyone and get in bad almost any
way as far as the wrong kind of
company was concerned, with but
little concern on the part of other
people.
Then she'd have to commence away
down in the hole and work her self
out and on up with that kind of
start!
l don't believe that that sort of
thing could happen at the present
state of affairs, for one great work
of the Associated Charities is to look
out for we'll meaning girls who some
how have to take care of themselves.
DR.. Hall, fortunately, is man OF
tact.
He is a man whom you trust imme-
diately, and he knows human ma
ture.
He is, moreover, an ordained min
lister, which insures the people Z of
Pensacola that he is eminently fitted
to hold his present position, moral
ly, mentally,-and especially when
opportunities arrive when he is able
to place the policies and aims OF
the association in a scholarly, in
teresting way before the people,
from the various pulpits of the city.
Pensacola, in short, should be very,
very proud of this particular charita-
bic association.
And she is.
