Battles in Tenement Homes
A QUESTION ANSWERED

How much of the amount you spend goes for
administration"
We are always glad of an opportunity 10
answer this question for only by such critical
examination OF the work can the public satisfy
itself as to the efficiency of systematic charity
BEFORE the answer can be given there must be
definite understanding about the exact mean
ing of the word administration as used in family
welfare work.
The Association does not, as many erroneouslv
believe, investigate to learn whether or not the
needy is deserving" or worthy"
We assume that all who apply for our service
are worthy of some kind of help.
Our inquiry is made for the same purpose as
the examination in home in which sickness is
present.
1t is made to determine the Kind of helm the
applicant needs and we must give.
While this is being made material aid is given
the family to keep them from suffering
Almost always the applicants needs are
greater than he himself realizes.
Our investigation or examination almost al
ways shows that in addition to the food an appli-
cant asks for, he needs job, or more remunera-
tive work; or that some member of his family
should have medical treatment. or advice as to
management of home and income
If should only investigate, the family
would suffer for lack of the necessares of life.
If, on the other hand only the material needs
were relieved, the dependency would continue
and in the end the family would be no nearer
self-support
combination Of the REORGANIZATION and
treatment which include all the material aid
neCessary--is the only way to relieve the dis
tress and permanently to restore the family.
Our Bureau of Relief last year spent S273,-
1882, and of every dollar of this amount eighty
cents went for the relief described above
In addition to what gave in service and
aid we secured for the families in our care the
help of relatives friends and employers, medi-
cal treatment and nursing and cOnvalescent care
for the needy sick.
The cost of what secured for these families
plus the money we saved by wholesale buying
and distribution would amount approximately
to as much as the cost of general administration,
We spent lust for the neCessares of lfe-food,
clothing, rent etc.,-$5,22S,13 more than our
current contributors gave us
All food was purchased at wholesale and dis
tributed from our Food Supply Store
If we had bought this amount of food at
retail, as individuals would have had to do,
should have had to spend approximately $30,0 900
more than we did for the produce and its de-
livery.
ASK for our Annual Report, now ready for
distribution, and Judge of our efficiency for your
self
