hall was started. The aisles became
choked because the demonstration was
begun without organized leadership.
The congestion aided in shortening the

Child Welfare Work in the Country"

city person could write, on line that appeals
specifically to the average Southern dweIler
in small town.
Big cities, North and South, are alike; they
arc all crowded; they have all assumed an
air of cosmopolitan bigness, garishness and
mixture IN which it is hard to keep from
classifying the types, and none of the types
classified, are related to any of the other
types.
In the country, and in the smaller towns,
1t IS no hard matter to separate the two types
we haye-the rich, and the poor. The poor
city child may have little more squalor than
the poor country child, but it also has show
at some things for its lettering that are de-
MED the poor country child.
The need for welfare work" among the
poor of the South especially, is going to be
a hard matter, and if the poverty of these
people were Il matter that could be put square
Nv up to the county officials of every State,
there would be no need for welfare work, nor
for charity under any other name, in the
country districts.
1t IS amazing TO note what a premium we
are putting on pauperism; time was when the
beggar was thing unknown now he is ex-
ploited-and his whole family, as we'll; the
question isn't so much helping the man or the
helping them to get money of other folks, and
live as nearly idle, as it is possible to do
There are worthy cases, it is true, but they
need only the temporary assistance which
Will help the unfortunate to take care OF HIM
self; to provide the ways and means, through
the so-called organized charities, to enable
men and women to live in idleness, and to
gain nothing of manliness nor Of womanli-
ness by the money of others, is not helping,
nor is it uplift in any sense of the word.
1t is true the illiteracy in rural communi-
ties is greater than in the cities; and whose
fault is this? Are the people of the rural
communities given the fair chance the people
Of the cities are given? Will pauperlzlng
them make it any better for future genera
tons? If we give them free schools, and free
books, won't it be solving the problem for
them, now and in the future? If we make
Of them men and women who may measure
mp in developed talents, with the men and
women Of the cities, can illiteracy and the
need for welfare work, paid for by others,
exist?
The charity -monger is a comparative new
conner in many communities; that it pays to
be worker in the charity bureaus, there can
be no doubt. Just as the foreign mission
question grew into a financial institution,
whereby many boards and individuals held
well pa ing offices, SO the charity monger,
who goes about with a list and a long face,
backed by tale of the woes of others, has
been made paying proposition. Under
various g1ises the schemes have been de-
veloped, and they pay those who officer them,
handsomely; in large cities the offices, the
officers, the secretaries, and the bills for
newspaper advertising, must take goodly
sum. Our unrestricted laws of immigration
constantly feed into the hopper of the big
