The recent strike that closed the ice

of the city felt justified in seiZing the
ice plants and running them in the name

liver it with their regular orders. In
cases of sudden illness it is secured
through the aid of the visiting nurses
or physician. Thousands of tons of
ice are each year given to the poor in
every large city.
In this connection it should be noted
mat few dealers in any commodity
are as generous in giving their prod

social worker knows that an appeal

Sometimes an ice dealer will say to

In most of the large cities of the
United States the need of ice for the
poor has become so generally accepted
that special funds are provided in the
municipal budget each year for this
purpose. In others ice is supplied lib
orally by other organizations. such as
the Visiting Nurses. the Associated
Charities and the various sick diet sta
tions. Wherever milk is given to a
sick baby ice is also likely to be pro-
vided to prevent the milk from sour
ing. For this reason ice and milk are
frequently distributed from the same
stations. \ number of cities have or
ganized Sterilized Milk and Ice Asso-
ciations with distributing stations in
different parts of the city in order that
these two relief objects may be as
near as possible to the demand.

III 1881. Students are enrolled from all
parts Of the globe and every State IN
the Union. Thirty-tive countries are
represented, outside the United States

lief can be found among the students.
In about two weeks the girls school

student representation almost as COS
mopolltan as that of the boys school
Besides being the largest prepare
tory schools IN the country these two
institutions are unique in their stand
ards and conditions for admission. They
are not designed for the wealthy. but
rather for young men and women who
in their early life were not able to get
an education. Almost half Of the SIN
dents are entirely self-supporting and
there are very few who do not do some
thing to pay their way. For this rea-
son the charges for board and tuition
cover but half the actual expense, the
rest being raised by public appeal. Ev-

two hours day at any assigned task,
from bread-mafing to work on the
farm. AT the girls school each Girl

best and strongest speakers obtainable
to address the students at the two
schools is still followed. Among the
notable men who Will be at Northfield
this fall are Melvin Trotter, who is
probably the GREATEST rescue mission
worker in the country today, and Dan
Crawford, the missionary pioneer from
Central Africa, whose unusual person
ality and powerful message have al
