MEN AND RELIGION.
Rickenbaczer Outlines Social Survey
at Euclid Church.

Talking before the adult classes of
the Euclid Sunday school Sunday
morning, w. J. Rickenbacker, chair
man of the social survey committee
of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement, outlined a social survey
expected to be made in Topeka. Mr..
Rickenbacker said that the social and
financial status of Topeka workmen
would be gathered if possible, and
that the committee would have in
view the Encouragement of work to
such an extent to permit those who
are now unemployed for a number
of months every year and who are
dependent upon charity for at least
a part of each year, to be self sup
porting.
Referring to a recent article in the
State Journal containing statistics of
marriages and divorces in Topeka for
the last three months, Mr.. Ricken-
hacker said that the committee will
endeavor to ascertain the cause of the
alarming proportion of divorces and
to propose a remedy to the next ses-
sion of the Kansas legislature.
In completing the social survey the
committee will attempt to gather sta
tistiCS relating to housing conditions,
sanitary conditions, size of families
earning power of the bread winners,
and will investigate the wages and
conditions of working girls. He de-
clared that the average Topeka work
ing girl, he believes, is not paid a
living wage, and that laundry girls
are being paid an average of about
81 a week, some of them less.
