the Council Of Social Workers In st.
PAul's parish house yesterday after
noon at 4:3O o'clock with a short
prayer, after which Rev. Russell
Bowie. chairman of the council. took
the floor. The minutes OF the past

proved BY the meeting. Rev. Bowie
reported the statement OF DR.. Nc
Cullooh. Of the Southern Sociological
Congress. to the effect that e72o had
been expended by the congress In
bringing their exhibit here to the
Grays Armory In October. and he
had only gotten f,fty memberships at
% per year to pay for bringing ths
exhibit here. Richmond did not
promise TO help pay any part Of the
expense and Dr.. McCuiloch brought
e ct his own risk Of paying with
memberships. yet DR.. Bowie felt that

help defray this expense.

The most important subject was the
report on the effort instituted to get
a city farm for the city of Richmond.
Forcefui arguments put forth in
the Council Of Social Workers after
this first defeat were: That a. pro-
tects were on foot to sell the Pine
Camp property. valued at 100000.
and the city home property. valued
at 100000. and the city jail prop
srty. worth 500. ooo-totai. $780,
300, It Is not asking for q new APP
preparation to ask for $4,000. With
This $4,000 the inmates of Pine
Camp. the city home ana the jail
would all be accommodated on 4 city
farm It was also argued that IL II
unfair to sell the Pine Camp prop
crty and use the proceeds for any
other purpose than the establishment
OF some institution to carry on tho
same work.
would Help Charity Workers.
DR.. Buchanan. OF the Associated
Charities. backed this statement by
saying that from 100 to $50 older
people taken care of by the charities
really belonged on a farm OF this
character, 80 that the charities could
devote more money to the little chill
dren.
Another statement was made in sup
port Of the farm that. although the
