LUNCHEON TO DR.. KERRY

The second danger, and considering
the poor whom we actually know, con-
sists in certain methods which harm
more than they help those in want
The real efforts should be expended in
helping the poor to regain their self
respect and to build them up economic
ally. The Conference idea is to break
away from localism and isolation-to
pick out the best methods adequately
of aiding the poor.
Another problem of danger to be
faced is that of getting hold of false
standards of service To give aid in
discriminatory is to follow bad stand
ard. While mere material and tempo
rary relief may be the object of cer-
tain charitable unit, it cannot possibly
be the fulfillment of the law of char
ity as regards the whole Catholic
body. For the Catholic body, taking
it broadly, has wider appeal and a
more far-reaching duty. Here also the
National Conference advances correct
standards, and it is the stout advocate
of intelligent ideals in work for the
poor ,.
The Poor Your Masters.
ST. Vincent de Paul, the father Of
| modern social work, was ever haunted
! by one dream which he embodied in
his rule, said DR.. Kerby This was
recognition of the fact that "the poor
are our masters" We must, there
| fore, declared the speaker, submit per-
/ viz to
must study the real, not the fanciful,
condition and needs of the poor In
| this sense also does the Charities Con-
| ference tend to correct shortness of
vision due to limited horizon. The
Conference becomes kind of retreat
| for soci3 worker; it enables him to
! lay aside his personal views and to
embrace broader ones. So long as
| an agency |isolates itself it will be
shut in in it's work, and will deprive it.
| self of knowledge needed in that work.
| No welfare organization should be
| afflicted with spirit of self-sufficiency,
and it should be free from all pro-
| vincialism. ,
DR.. Kerby in his discourse made a
fervent and earnest appeal for large
representation of st. Paul workers at
the National Conference in Milwaukee
DR.. Ryan.
Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan, former pro-
fessor in st. Paul Seminary, and now
head of the Social Action Department
of the National Catholic Welfare
Council, spoke briefly on the work of
the Catholic Charities Review of which
he was the founder. He stated that
in his opinion the problem of helping
the poor in a thoroughly adequate
manner was largely question OF edu-
cation as to the actual needs of the
poor. He also referred to the new
Social Service School for women to be
opened this month in the National
Capital under Catholics auspices.
| Friday evening DR.. Ryan and DIR.
Kerby were guests in Minneapolis.

The Republic of Uruguay is negoti

foated loan in the United States.
For several months Uruguay has
