While the New Jersey Federation of
Women'S Clubs has taken its part Of
the war work, the many activities
started previous to the war, have been
steadily carried along. One of the
most interesting and important of
these is the work OF the Pines"
The chairman of the Department of
Industrial and Social Conditions, from
the publicity given the section OF New
Jersey known as the Pine Belt. and
after personal Investigation, econ
mend that the Clubs study the con-
ditions and the people, n learn why
existing conditions prevailed.
On September LIST. 1916, the FEEDER
alton sent Miss Elva Hughes, into the
field. Miss Hughes is a social worker,
particularly well fitted for the work.
Her work at first was exploratory. She
soon found the most deplorable at
titude of the parents was their indiff-
creme to education. The most impor-
tant part of the work was to educate
the people-get the children into
school. Very soon it was the entering
wedge for the larger, more compre
hensive work among the families, of
this isolated section, far removed
from railway facilities and general
community life.
At the expiration OF three months
Miss Hughes was appointed county at
tendance officer of Burlington County,
by the State Board of Education, the
salary to be paid by the Federal Wo-
mems clubs of New Jersey. After a
three years trial, if the results war;
ant 1t, the County Superintendent
may with the advice and consent of
the State Board of Education, appoint
a person TO the position permanently.
This is a splendid cooperative move
.ment.
The attendance work brought the
social worker in direct contact with
boil child and parent, thereby afford
ing an opportunity TO learn their needs
and help them to something higher.
