Need Cooperation.
Superintendent Rath was then called
upon by Mr.. Smith to tell of the work
he expected to be accomplished in the
coming campaign. He said in part:
Many of us have an idea that in
some Of the tenements of this city there
are dying children, how many we do
not know; we have an idea that babies
are being kept amidst dirty surround
ings and fed on dirty milk; we have an
idea that many persons in the lower
walks of life are suffering with tuber-
culosis; we have an idea that many
women are victims of the social evil.
Now the aim of this survey is to
take us on the heights where we can
investigate the conditions, get view
of our work and then carry it to sue
cessful end. Here in Honolulu where
much money is being expended for So
cial work there have never been organ
lied cooperative efforts
"There are three phases of the work
to be investigated: q) housing condi-
tions; (2) family budgets, the cost of
living; (3) the social evil. We need
to solicit the cooperation of all bust
ness men, the mechanics, and every
citizen in this important work. To
thoroughly investigate the causes of
present social evils and then study
them with view to cure them is the
aim of this campaign

The third aim is to learn by investiga-
ton what the girls are doing for amuse-
ment and recreation after the DAVIS
work
She then asked for volunteers. She
also stated that she wanted another
group of workers to study conditions
among dependent children and mothers
