up in a good Catholic home and who
enjoy the benefits of such environ
ment, to understand the great need of
a Catholic settlement house in those
where the children are
deprived of these privileges.
Yet today, many of these settlement
houses are the only source from
which these children receive that re-
ligious instruction necessary for their
salvation. Deprived as they are of
any real Christian home life, they are
thrown in contact with an element
which fosters petty crime and disre-
gard of all respect for law, and they
learn of God only in cursing and bias
phemy.
Located in the Seven Corners" dis
trict and the river flats, the st. Charles
Mission for the past five years has
not only brought to these children
their instruction in catechism, educa-
ton in American ideals and good citi-
zenship, as we'll as in domestic science,
but they have furnished them with rec
reation. 1t is here that these little
ones have received that personal in
terest and care which has been de-
MED them at home. Nor has it been
concerned entirely with the children,
but the friendly visitors" have gone
into their homes and have instructed
them in the care of their babies, clean.
Illness, etc.
Due to the untiring efforts of these
volunteer workers, the attendance at
St. Charles has increased to such an
extent that their present quarters in
st. Elizabeth's school are now not
only entirely inadequate, but due to
the lack of interest and assistance
from the Catholics of Minneapolis, it's
very existence is seriously threatened
In order to raise funds necessary to
provide permanent settlement house
in this district, the Catholic Central
Bureau has made plans for drawing
on Victrola. ...
1t is hoped that the Catholics of
Minneapolis will not fail in this eff
fort to provide funds for a permanent
settlement house, so that the little
children of this district will not have
to turn to non-Catholic institutions
for charities such as are provided by
the st. Charles Mission.
