ter from the federation. requesting that
the delegate be instructed on the matter.
Instantly the two factions began debat-
ing the question. When a vote finally
was taken the "drys'' were in the ma
jority.

janitors' union. the association adopted a
resolution urging better pay for the jani-
tors in the public schools OF the District.

Born into a world that was indif-
ferent to social conditions and was
intensely preoccupied after the civil
war with advancing in material pros
perity. 1 have lived into a world in
which every one who thinks at all
thinks socially-in which an interest
in the welfare of the whole people is
nos longer an eccentricity of the few.
but a part of the normal life of the
many.
Tt marks a profound change in our
countrys point of view During the
early days we charity organizations
had almost to go down upon our
knees to persuade people to enlist in
the ranks of volunteer social service.
Now the volunteers begin to realize
that in giving a share OF oar busy
lives to initiating them into effective
service We are doing for them a thing
not to be esteemed lightly"
