SYSTEM is NECESSARY IN
PENSACOLA CHARITY WORt

Editor Pensacola Journal.
No one who has studied the needs
and conditions of the poor OF Pensacola
will deny the fact, as you suggested
in your edition of Feb. %, that an or
ganiZed effort is absolutely essential
for effective and practical results in
charity. Under the present system, or
systems, it is at best very ,Giscoura g
ing, and many times detrimental to the
good of the recipient.
While I am not an ad Tocate Of a cold
artificial charity organization that fixes
attention only on scientific safeguards,
1 am equally if not more, opposed to
a charity that is under the delusion
that there is something meritorious in
the mere act of giving relief, regard
less Of the need for it. Many things
done from good motives are injurious
and not helpful.
And from my own experience with
charity work in Pensacola, it has been
proven that q certain class absorb the
entire available funds. while no definite
results are obtained.
I feel the only solution TO the prob
lem, is modern, aggressive, clear
sighted, practical sympathetic charity
organization, with a person with
mfngling Pity for human woe and a
knowledge of the resources of modern
methods for the alienation of the
same. as its representative.
This could all be accomplished
without any trouble in Pensacola, if

Would Make a City
With a Soul.

The Litsrary Digest contains a COM
platnt from James Schermerhorn OF
the Detroit Times to the effect that
American cities have no souls. He
would therefore construct an ''all sour
city from the following material:
We Will put Detroit's Iow-price rec
reative facilities on island and river
into this all-soul city, and we will
throw in for good measure our anti
tuberculosis camp
We will go to New York and put in
her Straus milk foundation, the
F1eischmann bread line and her few
model tenements, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and hospitals.
We will put in Cleveland's group
scheme of public buildings and her
scent fares
We viii put in Gaiveston's commits
sion form of government; Seattle's in
itiatfye, referendum and recall; Hous-
toms municipal auditorium and band;
Portiand's festival of roses; Berkeley's
tCai.) Greek theater; Riverside's sin
uous driveway UP Mount Rubidoux.
We will put in Atlantas firm but
humane method of expelling organized
vice; we shall get from Kansas City
Kan, the blessing of a saloonless city;
from the Minneapolis traffic rules a
tender and alert concern for the phys
ical welfare OF passengers and pedes-
TRANS.
We will put in Chicago's scheme Of
water front adornment and a public
school supervision that does not shrink
from the sacred duty of teaching the
young about their bodies.
We will get from Kansas City her
scheme of cottage building for the
workers: from Baltimore the sale of
municipal bonds of small denomina-
tons to the people. and municipal
wharves
We will take the Boston public libra
~: the Boston Common and Ford hall
Cthe great Sunday night melting pot OF
races and creeds) and put them in.
We will want Denver's Juvenile court
and San Franchises extension Of the
right Of suffrage to women.
This would be all right if the builder
of the city had included homes among
the ingredients of his "all-souT' com
nunity
Everyone has noted the difference in
cities with respect to the appearance
and character of their homes Some
cities, particularly the newer ones, fol-
low a more or less artistic design in

The trouble with Pensacola Is not
a lack Of love for the poor, but sad
lack of system.

Membership Campaign
For Y. w. G. A.

The Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION has started a membership
campaign In which every man and
woman in Pensacola should be inter-
ested-
The association has now been in OPP
has already been proven. What re-
mains now is to organize the Y. w.
c. n In such q. way as to increase it's
value
conditions in Pensacola, and with what
. the z. w. @. A. stands for, can deny
it's importance to the community.
There are hundreds and hundreds Of
girls IN Pensacola who are IN need OF
tust the influence it exerts. Young
girls just budding into womanhood;
Older girls. making their way IN the
business world.
The z. w. C. A. tn not charitable
home, any more than is the Y. NJ. G.
n It's Object Ia to throw about young
women Christian Influences and to aid
thern On making their way in the
world. not only in a material way but
IN those finer ways that make for
right living.
It might be said OF the girls of Pen
sacola whom the Y. w. C. A. is design
ed TO reach that most of these girls
have mothers. And this is true But
II some OF the mothers could see the
letters that come into the office of The
Journal day after day they would
hardly question that the girls in PEN
sacola need all the help that the Y.
W. c. A can give them.
There are several associations in
Pensacola, particularly designed for
the young women of the town and
none OF these is apt to do a finer work
for the young women of Pensacola,
and the young women who come here
from other cities than is the Y w. c.
A. now in its second year of useful
ness.
There is Il wide field for the work
in Pensacola, and every woman, old
and young. and every father of daugh-
ters who has a natural feeling of pro-
lection for all girls, should give the
movement assistance and sanction.

preservation of the health OF our tens-
ment poor Is a prime necessity" de-
clared the Rev. Daniel I. McDermott in
the reetory OF St. Mary's Roman Catholic
Church. at Attn street below Locust. He
was making a plea for the the new Divi-
sion OF Housing and Sanitation, the de-
partment for which Councils Finance
Committee has refused TO grant appro-
pnations.
Father McDermott has spent more than
80 years in the downtown section. He
deYotes much OF his time to visiting and
consoling the poor who live in cellar
rooms which noted psychologists call "liv-
ing vaults" and alleys OF misery"

the voters OF Philadelphia win change
