SOCIALIZING

Work of American Institute of Social Service-Five Hundred Classes In Social Service How Brattle- boro, Vt., Woke Up.

 :. Formerly Christian people thought it quite religious to study the social organization and hygiene of Jews 2,0OO years ago. but quite unreligious and secular to study the hygiene of Jews on the East Side of New York. To- day this is different.
 A few months ago Brattleboro, Va, woke up. She found children working in her mills at too early an age. A bill was drafted, carried to and through the Legislature and now these children are fff her-seh dols.s Parents of these children lived in hideous ex- cuses for houses Today attractive homes are being built to be rented to them at low prices. Saloons attract ed many; now they entice fewer. On inquiry, we found that this work orig mated in one of the 500 classes which we have in churches. Y. M. c. As Or other institutions which study our lessons in social Christianity from the Bible point of view <. These lessons published first in the Homiletic Re- view. and then republished with addi- tfoual matter under the name of The GogpeI of the Kingdom, reach some 40.000 readers. Some think we are reV0lut10n1zlng the SuHOay ScHooiS dAu the thought of the churches, but we believe that we are scattering the seed of the word of God. Something cer- tainly is doing.

4 A other lands we have distinguished col laborators who send us valuable infor- nation in exchange for what we send. Our clearing house is an international one
 The American Institute of Social Service is not only a national but an international clearing house. We thing in our office that many of the drafts on reform which are being hon ored today in various portions of our country have passed through our clearing house. The Institute, the first of it's kind in the world, was organ ized in 1898, and has been the pioneer in movements now generally known and accepted by many who know not whence they came. 1t was the parent of the Social Secretary idea, which has induced not few firms to employ especial duty it should be to look after the moral physical and social welfare of their employees. It has led in agitation for Museums of Social Safety in this country, instituted so- ciologicaI exhibits in several great ex- positions and has received gold med als and diplomas.
 The Institute works for all, though it especially reaches clergy men and church people. Its lessons are published under the advice of a National Inter-denomination Com mittee composed of some of the most prominent men and social workers in the various denominations, and are endorsed by the Social Service Com mission of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.
 The Institute, however, by no means confines itself to. church peo- pie. For a very varied constituency it answers questions, collects mater ial, prepares bibliographies, conducts special investigations, renders ad- vice, makes suggestions of what to do in particular communities, and does all gratuitously, except when special Investigations are required. Clergy men who desire to preach on social subjects, editors who would write ed itorials, workers who want to start reforms, women who desire to inau- gurate Activities in their communi- ties, students in all walks of life, look 10 it for suggestion and advice.
 Our department of informat ton is under the immediate direction of w. D. F. Bliss, who is fitted for this work by experience as the editor of the Encyclopedia of Social Reform and as an expert for the United States Labor Department in investi- gations in Europe and in this coun- try. Several members of the Insti tute staff do considerable featuring.
 What we can do is limited only by our means. Few organizations we believe, have wider field, or with the means at their command, have been able to reach a larger number The churches are ready to learn and to engage in social work as never be- fore. The soil is ready for the seed and we are scattering as best we may.

everything that I could for nearly
eight years until was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. l did so, and I
found after few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
l could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. / began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
wash for them, and think by using
the Soap and Ointment / was much
benefited. / stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment. thought 1t
deserved fair trial with severe
and stubborn case. I used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
