The Day Nursery
And kindergarten

Because mothers are forced to
Weet economic conditions and 90 o,+
to work during the day there arose
the question of what should be done
with small children during that time
For the very little ones a day mr.
sery was established; for the older
tots kindergarten sprang into he-
ing-the first of its kind in the CITY,
and here the children were in
structed in the very first rudirnents
Of education.

initial tryout in the settlement b,t

1ion hours and see that young minds

finished the settlement secured the

playing an active part. AS friendly
guide and Interpreter the settlement
is discharging a very unique and
necessary function.
"The settlement is an outpost of
American spirit and ideal. In this
Exemption Board District 50 per
cent of our young men between the
ages Of twenty-one and thirty-one
are aliens. Among the older people
the proportion is even larger
Through citizenship and other clubs
and classes, through a contact in
social activities, distinctively
American point of view is being i'm
parted by the settlement.
"About. 100 of our men are in
uniform. Club after club has re-
ported that every member has bond
of the third loan. AS an interpre-
ter of American thought the settle
ment has a great mission. The OPP
portunities for service have Just
commenced.
"The American Red Cross home
service section is conducting a train
ing course for our senior club men,
bers and number of our girls have
taken and completed the course. The
theory Of this course was that neigh
borhood girls who are qualified edu-
cationally should make the most I'M
derstanding' and sympathetic Wis
itors. A branch office of the Red
Cross has been established here,
open three nights week, at which a
regular staff member of the Red
Cross, aided by three girls as volun-
teers, is On hand, as the living rep
resentative Of the Federal author
ity. Advice in making out requests
for allotments, explanation of the
war risk insurance idea, investiga-
tons at the request of the Red Cross
central Office and of various divisions
of the Red Cross, friendly contact
with wives and mothers of enlisted
men are some Of the functions that
this Office discharges. AS time goes
on this work should become increas-
ingly important.
"On the second Liberty Loan the
settlement sold 900 worth of bonds
in the house. On the third Liberty
Loan, up to April 80, $4,000 worth
of bonds had been disposed Of. In
addition to this a great many of
our people subscribed through the
firms with which they are connected.
The total in enc Of our older clubs
reached $4,000. The settlement is,
too, War Savings Stamp agency.

The Place 1t
Went to Work In

Many an idealist, walking into
the heart of the East Side in the
scorching heat of August, 1886,
would have felt his optimism oozing
from his finger tips. The mingled
smells of hot and seldom bathed
human beings, decaying fruits, old
clothes, the sitting draughts of hot
air arising from the broken pave
ments and issuing from open door
ways; the noisy confusion of crying
babies, the .jargon of men and wom-
en- wrangling in the many tongues
of Babylon, the rattle Of heavy
teams over the cobblestones, and
the hoodlum shouts of children
dashing down narrow alleys and
flashing under the hoofs of nerve
tired horses would strain the illu-
sions of a man less sure in his pur-
pose than DR.. Stanton Colt.
Quiet-eyed and leisurely observ-
ant, he crossed the Bowery and
paused here and there to chat with
bewhiskered fruit dealer or pass
some pleasant remark with the
genial merchant of cast-off gar
ments, whose wife famed herself in
the doorway and whose babies pad
died in the muddy water of an ice
carts drip. Less a curious stranger
than sympathetic friend, he won
the shy confidence of alert-eyed
children Xperience-trained in a dis
trust of lorgnette questionings and
lifted skirt excursions through their
byway Fairgrounds and cellar
homes; so when he intimated that

active members, would amply cover

plan is feasible IS, of course ques-
ton, but the settlement is optimistic

made.
AS for the other problem, which
is fundamentally sociological one,
no plan has as yet arisen, except that
there is a decided feeling that the
social settlement has not run the
gamut of its usefulness and will
continue as a communistic force.
Just what its work will be is un-
decided. Although the public schools
have adopted many of the activities
which originated in the settlement
they cannot have the personal In
fiuence which the smaller organiza-
ton has. In the schools, for in
stance, one leader is in charge Of
several clubs, whereas in the settle
ment each club has its own leader.
SO of the library. The schools issue
a mimeographed list Of advised read
ing. The settlement has its Librarian

the time to give to studying their
needs and tendencies

Klapper maintained that the settle
ment had always been a social labor
atory, experimenting, discovering
and subsequently introducing activ-
tiles which were sooner or later TAX
en- up by public institutions. Among
the benefits which the settlement
has introduced and in which it has
been {, pioneer are the following:

ton for the opening of museums on

the poor of the East Side had leisure

plan to erect an 81" on Delaney
Street, the roadway and Fifth Ave

cessfully fought by Mr.. Slower and
his people.
With the coming of the war the
settlement, which had already made
phenomenal strides in influencing
foreign-born residents Of the East
Side to become naturalized citizens,
put forth a still greater effort, with
most satisfactory results. Because

closeness to the thought and feel
ing of the people, the settlement
renders a practical service in the in
depreciation Of national needs and
ideals at this time. Mr.. Eisinger,
director Of mems and boys work, in
report on the present war activities
of the settlement says:

very little about government func-
lions and the separation and dele
cation of powers, find it somewhat

Of all these things was the set.

them did it attempt to pauperi7a

was made, thus making no one fool
that he or she was an object Of
charity.
Such charges, however. BY no
means met the costs of the inst;tu.
ton, nor did the dues received from,
the members suffice. For the deficit
the settlement depended upon the
voluntary contributions of philan.
throplcally disposed individuals who
! recognized the place which the set.
Element had in the community. With
the war, however, these contributions
ceased OF became less. and the insti-
tuition faced the serious problem Of
financial failure. The workers and
directors considered several plans.
and out of their discussions arose
the one which they are about to
adopt and which, as we stated above

was felt that the natural love of
these people for the beautiful and
artistic would lead them to the mu-
seums and a great benefit thereby
if such institutions were made &C
cessible. The young people of the
settlement brought in some $4,000
names to the petition, and eventual
~ the museums were opened. The
fact that some ten or fifteen thou
sand people frequent these places
on Sunday would point to the
need that has been filled.

we'll loved a friend of the bows and

Its motto: Order is our basis, i'm

evident that, if the first two were to
be adhered to, it would be necessary
to move. So the Neighborhood

Early in 1889 the new building
at the corner of Eldridge and Riv-
ington streets-a building planned
by the firm of Howell & Stokes and
most adequately and efficiently ar
ranged-was ready, and the Neigh
borhood Guild moved into home of
