BRUNSWICK Is MODEL
GERMAN CITY HAS THE BEST SYs-
TEN OF CHARITIES.
Organization Headed by the Mayor by
Which Poverty, With Its Attendant
Evils, Is Reduced to the
Minimum.

"The subject Of organized charities
forms a most interesting study to the
political economist and the humanita-
rian," said ]. w. F. Kanzler of Wolten-
buettel, Germany. at the Arlington.
ut Is generally admitted that the
city Of Brunswick, Germany, has the
model system Of organized charity.
Brunswick, l should judge, is about
half the size of Washington. 1t is
only few miles from my home, and
as am especially interested in the
subject of the amelioration of the con-
dition Of the poor, have paid consid-
cradle attention to the methods en-
ployed here. Brunswick is, fortunate
ly, provided with a number of small
parks near the center of the COM
pactly built district, much like those
of Washington. These are utilized
as Fairgrounds and make the work
for the relief of the children much
easier.
THE city is divided into 26 admin
istrative districts for the supervision
of giving aid to the poor, and an
equal number for the work of taking
care of orphans and dependent chill
dren. The mayor of the city is presi.
dent of the board of administration
He has an official STAFF, which includes
head physician, specialist In dis
eases of the eye and another in dis.
eases Of the ear. Each moor district
is under the supervision of director
He Is assisted by a dozen or more
men, who are known as guardians
and by half as many women. A prac
ticing physician is assigned to each
district. The districts for orphans
also have their guardians, usually the
same persons as those in charge OF
the relief work for the poor. These
guardians are chosen from different
classes, merchants, teachers and per
sons with independent incomes They
serve without pay. By this systematic
organization poverty, with it's attend
ant evils, is reduced to a minimum.
There are more than a hundred
benevolent organizations in the city
but no unofficial charity organization
society. Many Of them are devoted
entirely to furnishing recreation ir
the country and at the seashore fol
poor children. These institutions are
supported by contributions of small
amounts made by the citizens. Bruins

the children are taught to use often

NUN FORSAKES vow

Entered cloister When Doctors Told

Lansing, Mich.-Torn between con

of her youth and childhood or spend
the remainder of her life behind the
clustered walls of the Convent of the
Good Shepherd, in Grace street, Chi.

hood she was taken with strange
malady. The doctors at her home
town could do nothing for her. Her
condition became serious. She was
taken to the ST. Mary's hospital at
South Bend, Ind
But when the doctors studied her
case they shook their heads. They
said she had but few months to live
before she would be taken away by an
tncurable cancer.
Every hope of a career in the world
blighted, Miss Holmes turned to the
consolation of the church.
She was dismissed from the hospital
after she had regained little strength
but nothing was promised her. She
was told she might live year or two
but not more. She went away with
the sisters and joined the convent.
Instead of becoming weaker and de.

been allotted her was pronounced a

temptation. Homesickness overcame

One day when the longing and
yearning assailed her more bitterly
than ever she stole away and wrote a
letter to her sister and posted it In
secret.
But years had passed. The letter re.
turned to the convent unopened. And
that ended her hopes until friends
from her old home saw her a few
weeks ago.

HORACE GAVE 1T FAME
POET SANG OF LITTLE VALLEY
OF THE LlCENZA.
He Crossed 1t On the Way to His
Sabine Farm and II Is Beau
tifuI Now as It Was
Then.

A few verses written 1000 years
ago have made the little Valley of the
L1cenza one of the most famous
places within easy reach of Rome.
Had Maecenas been less generous a
patron, had he never given the Sabine
farm to Horace, had Horace never
told the world and his friends how his
days there were spent, few would
now make the classical excursion into
the Sabine Hills, though time has not
marred their beauty.
The villa of Horace has disappeared,
to the joy of scholars and archeolo-
gists, who, as it is, can go on arguing
Indefinitely over its exact site. But
the narrow valley, the steam running
through 1t and the inclosing hills are
as Horace left them, and as lovely.
Now, as in his day, If you go from
Rome to Tivoli, and from Tivoli to
Vicovaro, and here turn up the valley
of the Licenza and wander on by
road-as you must, for there Is no
railway-you will come, some few
miles further to great rock that
springs abruptly from the lower slopes
and tits over them at melodramat.

The only difference is that the little
brown village of Roccaglovine rises
on top, where Of old stood the temple
OF Vacuna, already in ruins. where
Horace sat under its shadow to write
to his friend in Rome. The little vii
lage has done its best to meet its
classical responsibilities, and has
given the name of the temple to its
piazza.
Here still are the olives that pay
the Sabine farmer best, and the vines
that yield the rough little Sabine
wine that Horace has made more re
nowned than many rarer vintage;
here are the hills where he wandered
and the woods that gave acorns to his
focks and dense shade to him; here
the silence and the peace, and the
fresh wind blowing from the noun
