By MRS. ]. P. S. NEIGH.

Dr. Graham Taylor has said a
settlement Is social center for
civic betterment-I interpret this to
mean that its chief business is to
produce better citizens.
We hear and read much nowadays
about efficiency; that word seems
for the time being to have taken the
place of education and conservation.
Our ideas and ideals, however. are
greatly Influenced by what these
words mean to us, and II our social
service efforts are directed toward
the development of efficient citizens.
then we put a new value on our own
lives and on those whom we arc
serving. do not believe in the serv-
ice which does for people. but rather
the service which assists them to do
for themselves.
The settlement uses different
means and methods for working out
its problems with its friends. It
recognizes certain standards for
clean homes, clean streets, clean
alleys, clean living; through organi-
zation we can get these things for
ourselves. our neighbors. and our
city.
Standards For Recreation.
1t maintains certain standards for
recreation-and provides opportuni-
ties for expression Of the play
spirit which undirected or uncon-
trolIed expresses dissipation. The
settlement demonstrates that pune
tuality and regularity are two great
assets to ones business. That 1t
pays to be honest-and do your task
to the best Of your ability. 1t
teaches that the individual who falls
either has not been trained for the
work he trys to do, has no aptitude
for the work. or is not physically
able to perform the work satisfac-
torily Do you catch a glimpse of
the tasks set for these centers OF
readjustment?
The public school and the settle
ment have united In an effort to
make efficient fathers and mothers.
The income and expenditures Of
family are now quite as important
topics for the daily lessons as the
question. In what year did Column
bus discover America? The lessons
In proportion take on a new interest
when we see the prices OF necessi-
ties steadily increase each year. but
the wages remain the same. We can
help solve the problem Of waste of
materials by the mother in the home
and the dissipation of wages by the
father in the saloon or pOolroom.
but we need a new civic conscience
or a public opinion to adjust the
great wrongs of the high cost OF liv-
ing. low wages, and non-employ-
mcnt. How can we expect to get
efficient citizens from homes where
1t is not possible to afford proper
nOurishment for the children Of these
homes? Statistics have proven that
children who are properly fed and
cared for during the first thre. wears
are not found later 'On the lists of
the courts, the hospitals, the insane
asylums, or almshouse. Society has
recognized these facts. and through
benevolent associations placed pllrc
milk on sale in tho various sections
OF our city. The community owes
much to these infant welfare sta
tiOns. with their corps Of willing
nurses and phYsicians.
