DR.. ROBBINS TALKS
ON settlement WORK
Addresses NeighbOrhOod House
Associations Meeting.

DIR. Jane Robbins of Brooklyn, ad-
Neighborhood House association Fri
day afternoon ON the work to be ac-
complished by settlement methods.
members of the association at the
Mrs. Benjamin Nicoll.
For twenty-five years DR.. Robbins
has been a settlement worker. She
stated that the purpose of neighbor-
hood house is to make the most of
everyone who comes to it. When the
workers find a talent they are to see
that that talent is made the most of.
The settlement worker is always do
ing for the individual as we'll as the
community. If the environment is
wrong in the individual it should be
changed.
Anything that one can do to prevent
bad housing conditions, said DIR. Rob-
bins, is a great patriotic work. Look
after the newcomers and be strict
with them in the number of people
they take to lodge to help pay the
rent. Our ways of living are new to
them and they are bewildered in this
strange land. We all agree that in
our public schools are the opportuni-
ties for the future, so that we must
give the young Italians good school
ing. The chance to play is a. birth
right of little children and we must
see that the children, especially of
the crowded homes, have opportuni-
ties to play freely
DIR. Robbins believed in training the
Italian boys and girls in the use of
their fingers. The girls love sewing
and the boys handicraft, and they
should be allowed to develope
along those lines. They don't
care much for lectures unless
they are illustrated, or for books.
artistic side of the Italian should be
helped. That the Italians are CRATE
full for all that is done for them, was
stated by the speaker.
Miss Enid Wilmerding, secretary,
presented review of the years work,
praising the workers at the settlement
house and describing the improve
ments to the building.
Mrs. Aldus H. Pierson, the head
worker, stated in her annual report
tnat many people IN town nave no
idea of where the Neighborhood
House is, what sort of place
it is, and of what work Is
quietly going on during the
year in the House. She thought
wider interest should be taken in the
settlement house and in the Italian
families. Some of the best buildings
in town are now being erected by
Italians. These foreigners are taking
more interest in the town and the
towns affairs, they are taking more
pride in their homes and are keeping
them in better condition. Many times
the Neighborhood House has called
the attention of the authorities to un-
sanitary conditions existing in the
italian colony and has endeavored to
better conditions. The children are
taking great interest In the house and
