In every age. the maternal tenderness
Of woman naturally inclined her to lend
her aid to the poor. the neglected, the
sick and the suffering, but in America.
where women have the greatest power
and independence. the highest standards
of philanthropy have been worked out
by the modern woman. Women have
control of larger sums of money in this
country than in any other and cOnse-
quently are able to give literally to any
recognized need. Formerly all of this
giving was done impulsively, looking only
to the relief OF acute distress. Now the
philanthropic woman is acquiring eco
nomic training. which enables her to con-
slider some provisions for the future as
we'll as to relieve present needs. She
realizes that even in charity each contri-
button should be made to yield the great
est possible amount of good to the re-
cipient.
Recognizing the fact that the greatest
aid to any philanthropy is the under
standing of the conditions causing the
needs as well as the means of relieving
them, Mrs. Russell Sage is performing a
service which will go down to posterity
as productive of more real help than
would be the distribution of several times
her millions in the. form of charities
which would tend only to aid the imme-
date recipients. She has established as a
memorial to her husband the Russell
Sage Foundation, the funds of which
are being applied to research regarding
many evils. 1t became known that the
school children of New York included a
large number Of those who were physical
ly defective and, therefore, unable to
secure for themselves the full benefit of
the money which the city was investing
in their education.
An Investigation was made and the
Foundation, led to the formation of
fresh air schools and medical attend
ance, which has improved the health
conditions of all Of the schools of that
city. 1t tended to improve the school
averages also. because it showed that
the chief cause of backwardness in
school through which the city was at
the expense Of providing an additional
year of instruction for child in the
cal cause which could be eliminated.
Conditions governing working women
and children, infant mortality. abject
poverty and many other matters call
ing for the attention Of the philanthro-
pist have been greatly aided by the
help of the Sage Foundation, which
does not confine its work to New
York city alone. but extends to other
cities. The publication of the results
other cities, especially those conducted
under the auspices of the National
Consumers League with which Mrs.
Sage is closely in sympathy, has bene-
flied the entire nation.
