HOME FOR WORKING GIRLS
Annual Report Shows Great Work at .
New York Institution.

The last public meeting for the sum-
mer in the interest of the White Rose
Industrial Home For Working Girls
was held at the Salem M. e. church
in New York the last week In July.
Mrs. II. L. Ferrell, superintendent OF
the home, presided. Mrs. M. G. Law
ton, reporter for one Of the Brooklyn
daily papers and prominent in wo-
mems clubs and social settlement work.
was the principal speaker.
Mrs. M. C. Lawton gave in detail the
history Of the institution and made a
strong appeal to those present to do all
in their power to carry their own In
stitutions and not to expect Of others
what they should do for themselves.
She said that 1t should be but neces-
sary for them to know that this instt-
tuition not only stands for preserva-
ton Of the girls morally. but indus
trially.
Industry and morality, she said, are
the bone and sinew Of any people. The
object of the association is to estab-
tartan home for colored working girls
and women, where they may be train
ed in the principles Of practical self
help and right living. The annual re-
port was read by the secretary, Miss
II. e. Moorehouse. and was as follows:
Number of free lodgings. 1,140; paid
dodgers, 1850: meals given, 2,230; av-
erage number of women cared for per
day, 6; new dodgers during the year.
173; old dodgers, 196: total, 370.
The record Of service for the year
was as follows: Number helped to
work, 273; helped to continue journey.
273; garments distributed. 30: public
meetings and entertainments held dur
Ing the year. IS; number given Christ
mas dinner, 78.
The association has as auxiliaries an
Adults club. Mothers club. Travellers
Aid. Girls Social club. Victoria Earle
club. Boys club and Relief club.
Notwithstanding this association has
been struggling with this particular
line of race work since 1896 and feels
fully repaid for all Of its efforts, there
are times when 1t seems impossible to
stem the financial tide. and utter fail
ure seems inevitable.
The work was founded by the late
Victoria Earle Mathews, whose sole
desire was to benefit the masses Of in
dustrious women In quest Of an honor
able means of livelihood.
