classes take up such questions as: What
basis is there for saying that city life
is harmful? What is the actual extent
Of poverty? Can its causes be meas
ured? Is crime increasing or decreas-
ing? What are the possibilities of get
ing trustworthy information as to the
standards Of living? What is conges-
ton? What exact knowledge Is there
as to conditions of employment? As to
the grades of employment? All the
topics. it will be seen. relate to prob
lens Of immediate social interest.
The field work Of the course Is con-
sdered indispensable. The programme
requires each student to spend at least
six hours a week during the first year
In making Investigations, but the time
Is usually much longer. The classes
are first conducted through the poorer
districts Of the city or to various public
institutions by experienced graduates
Later the work may be carried on along
original lines.
1t Is the aim to make the student Of
philanthropy efficient and systematic
and at the same time sympathetic.
There are weekly conferences for class
discussion after these visits. Among
the institutions visited are those on
Ellis Island, homes for the aged and
infirm, the Municipal Lodging House,
the Mills hotels, the penitentiaries, city
prison. orphan asylums and trade
schools.
In the second year the study Of phi
lan,hropy has an even wider applica-
ton. There is. for example course OF
lectures on town planning and housing
when the problem OF providing homes
for the poor is taken up and a study is
made OF conditions in many American

able time Is devoted to medical social
service. to the study OF delnQuents,
public charity. organized charity, the
social work OF churches. children's agen-
cles. recreational institutions and gem
eral settlement work. There are be-
sides a number of special or elective
courses and the student OF philanthropy
may carry out special Investigations in
diseases and hygiene. the study Of recre-
alton. the probation and parole OF chill
dren and family rehabilitation.
Many graduates of the School OF Phi
lanthropy secure employment very
profitable in organized charitable work
They are especially fitted to become ex-
ecutive secretaries OF charitable organ
izations. housing commissions and So
cieties for the prevention OF cruelty to
children, the prevention Of tuberculosis
and similar work. a man or woman

or assistant in social settlement, an

The administrative Offices Of great
variety Of public and private institutions
are also regularly filled by these gradu-
ates. such as reformatories. orphanages,
prisons and the like.

Avereli Harrlman's bow to the finan-

There are courses in the principles and
technique or social work. the scien-
tific basis of social work. social statis-
tics and the types of social agencies.
II is obvious Of course that any one
who Is to make a business of philan-
thropic work should be familiar with
the history Of philanthropy. The class
first takes up ancient and medieval
philanthropy. a great deal of atten-
ton Is paid throughout the course to
the technique of giving. The origin Of
all kinds of social agencies is taken up
in detail as we'll as the social conditions
which have given rise to them
One by one the classes study the
work OF charity organization societies,
children's institutions. hospitals and
dispensaries and the care of individual
cases of need. Preventive social
measures are studied In detail. such as
public Fairgrounds. the probation sys-
TEN and the Improvement of criminal
laws. One Of the most interesting
courses OF the first years work deals
with the history Of the English poor
law. the problem Of public poor relief
in America and factory legislation in
England and America.
The various problems which the
philanthropic worker must solve are at
tackled in a scientific manner. The
trained social worker must have a
working knowledge Of biology. psychol-
ogy and sociology. In order to he of
real assistance to the poor ii Is clearly
not sufficient to give money or other
practical assistance. Much poverty and
misery are due first Of all to bad eco
homie conditpns, or, to use phrase
from the school announcement, to "a
failure in the right use Of a social sur
plus" So the students begin their
course with a study of the economic in
depreciation of history. The origin and
growth of the social surplus are taken
up in turn, and there are lectures and
discussions as to the best plan for pub
lie expenditures for social ends.
To approach the problems Of the poor
intelligently thorough knowledge of
biology is considered essential. The les
sons trace the recent developments in
modern biology as applied to social prob
lens. Special attention is paid to the
study Of eugenlcs. The student OF phi.
lanthropy learns how mental or physical
defects are inherited, the causes Of
feeblemindedness and the relation of
these influences. Alcoholism receives
special attention.
The study of sociology is taken up not
merely as an academic matter but with
view to its practical application. In
the special course on psychology again
the students consider such practical
questions as the problem Of the back
ward child the development of interest
in children and various problems of alb
normal psychology. The work Of the
psychological clinics in the medical COL
leges Is also carefully followed
To the layman in such matters a
course on social statistics may seem
somewhat technical. but there again the
instruction Is eminently practical. The

results the storm broke in the fall on

stroke must go and it did go. The first
Indignation was against Hartman. He
stood fire well. The intensity OF the
feeling brought in very short time a
strong reaction in his favor.

varied. He has had since December a
desk in the chairmans Office of the

Before the student of philanthropy
may be entrusted with the purse strings
II Is necessary that he shall understand
civics and economies. There are en-
trance examinations dealing with the
functions of government and the special
functions of the nation, State. county

attention Is paid to the principles of
division Of labor among the social units
and to the responsibilities and Oppor-
