The Women's Charity, in giving back
the city and county work, and taking up
again its special tasF, IS making no sud-
den or unprecedented step.
For six months it has been apparent
to the women that they were tdce TO

there was not enough public money APP
propriated to them for the public char
tiles. For six months the question has
been discussed at their executive boards

only on trial. 1t was evident that the
money allowed by the cityS65 month
would be inadequate to meet the needs
The county work has not been satisfac-
tory to the women, largely owing to the
conditions at the county hospital. The
women took the work with the hope that
the city would realize its own great need
and that the county would establish hes
pltal and workhouse conditions that
would make the permanent betterment
Of pauper conditions effective.

The Charity has made a splendid rec

necessary to any progress in betterlnS

The Charity has been prompt, syste-
matte, and effective, merciful and prac-

been htlped by the encouragement or
