The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-09-19

" Az WIN lAoI . W
ing done by the Social Service bureau
IN this city, accompanied by steroptic-
on views which illustrated some of the
condltlons he bureau hopes to remedy,
were features of the annual report of
the Social Service bureau, given at a
meeting of the organization held in
the Coliseum, Monday evening.
An illustrated lecture by Miss S..
Ethel Clark, executive secretary of the
organization, election of a board of di-
rectors, and directors of affiliated or
CARNATIONS, and a short talk by Amos
Butler. of Indianapolis, secretary of the
state board of charities, were outstand-
ing points of the evening program
which followed the serving of a ban
quet to approximately 800 persons.
Il want to take off my hat to Rich
mond," said Mr.. Butler. This is a
splendid meeting and l don't believe
they could get one like 1t in Indianap-
oils" Mr.. Butler said Indianapolis so
cial agencies missed the services of
Miss Clark.
Hope To Remedy Causes.
The lecture given by Miss Clark
dealt chiefly with the desire of the bu-
reau to remedy the underlying causes
of poverty and social evils.
Tangible results can be seen in
the report Of a manufacturer or mer-
chant" said Miss Clark at the open
ing of her lecture. But it Is hard to
show the work of this bureau In fig
ures. Mere figures will not show the
effort put in by the staff, the changes
worked in the lives of the people, and
the like. We want you to know what
is being done by the bureau and for
that reason we nave made up this
program this evening.
Systematic Work
Many persons think of the Social
Service Bureau in terms of food or
clothing. They forget hat this work
must be done in a systematic and
business-like way"
Almost the same point was men
toned by Howard Dill, president of
the bureau when he said:
Some persons think the Social Ser
vice Bureau is a cold-hearted, machine
like organization. They think that re,
lief hould be given to everyone who
comes along.
1T is easy enough to pass out money
but it is another thing to put a man
on his feet, and make him economi-
caly independent after he is down and
out.
Appreciates Help.
L want to thank those who have
helped make the bureau a success in
the past year, the ex-officio members
who have don their bit, Superintend.
ent Bate, Judge w. A. Bond, County
Auditor Brooks, and Trustee J. o. Edg-
erton. The future success of the Blu
reau depends on the support given it
by the people.
This is not primary a relief organ
ization. The law permits the trustee
to hand out clothing, food and fuel as
the need may arise but it ices not al
low him to investigate these cases
That is one function of the bureau. to
determine when the county and the
township is being imposed upon.
Musical Program.
An excellent musical program was
given. The program was opened by a
violin and piano duet by Miss Bernice
Richards and Miss Juliet Nusbaum

enberg. Community singing led by Ora
