Mans Worst Enemy.
"The great enemy of mankind, the
passion which has defaced history.
filling it with horrors incredible. and
immemorable. Is intolerance. relig-
ious intolerance, political intoler-
ance. social intolerance. international
intolerance"
The theme also was discussed from
the viewpoint of the social worker
by Miss M. Edith Campbell, director
Of the vocation bureau Of Cincin-
natl, and from that of education by
DR.. Joseph x. Hart of New York.
formerly professor Of education at
the University of Washington.
Miss Campbell pointed out that:
Failures. from that of the small
boy who cannot meet the CONNER
cial standard for errand intelligence,
of the young girl stenographer who
ure of citizens and ideals in democ-
racy, are blamed upon the public
school system.
The social worker is not the least
of these critics. Fortunately, the
abused system is still somewhat self
existence. With all its faults 1t is
the greatest and most potential chan
mel for social service.
THE social worker insists that the
inheritance, environment, disposition,
experiences and recreations of the
child must be taken into account in
the educational process. The school
has long been accustomed to making
it's curriculums on authority. 1t did
not acknowledge the responsibility
for the child's failure as well as for
its success. The child's life outside
the schoolroom and after leaving
school was of no interest either to
teacher or to administrator. This
rigidity and stereotyped routine was
indented by pressure from outside
the system"

SAYS VOTERS WILL PAY
TO CURE TUBERCULOSIS
Social Workers Told People Are
Willing to Bear Cost OF
Hospitals.

Voters voluntarily will increase
taxation to build hospitals for tuber-
oulosis IL they are shown the need
for such institutions by well organ
lied publicity, said DR.. Philip P. ia
cobs, publicity director" Of the Ma
ttonal tuberculosis Association or
New York. in an addres this morning
before a group meeting OF the Ma
tional Conference of Social Work in
the National Museum.
"The campaign against tuberculosis
carried on by the national. state and
local tuberculosis associations during
the last eighteen years has brought
this popular social question to the
public's attention in great variety
of ways" said DR.. Jacobs 1T seems
to be a fair conclusion from the ex-
perience Of referendum campaigns,
and particularly from that part of the
experience that deals with tubercu-
Iosis hospital referendums, to-. say
that If the voters of community
are given a chance to express their
opinion after proper process OF
education upon a question pertaining
to tuberculosis institutions or similar
provisions, they will in the great ma
jority of cases vote overwhelmingly
in favor of such proposition, even
though the clear and definite implica-
ton of such vote is an increase in
taxation"
Franklin Thomas. superintendent
of the New York Orphanage at Hast
ings-on- Hudson, New York, but for
merly a professor of sociology in the
University of Oregon, told the meet
ing of the operation of public opinion
machinery in Oregon.
DR.. Alexander Fleisher. assistant
secretary of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company of New York
city, urged the social workers to de-
vote more attention to study of
methods of reaching the public
through referenda.

Homemaking Rated 'sSweated
Industry" IN Need of Relief
Wife Does Not KnOtU Whether She Owes
Whole Existence or Only Leisure Hours
to Task, Says Educator.

Picturing the wives and mothers OF
this nation engaged in homemaking
as "sweated industry" Mrs. Edith
Puffer Howes, author and educator,
Of Scarsdale, N. Y, urged upon the
social workers assembled in Memo
rial Continental Hall Monday night a
foundation which would survey ex-
listing conditions and develop the es-
sential standards of home life.
Changes In Social Thought and
Standards Which Affect the Family"
were discussed by Porter r. Lee. d.
cial Work, and Social Work as 1T
Contributes 10 the Strengthening of
Family Life" was the subject of Kerl
de SchweinitZ. general secretary of
the philadelphia Society for Organic
Ing Charity.
In arguing for Social Progress
Within the Home" Mrs. Howes said
that 'homemaking is n sweated in
dustry. in the sense that it is still
chaotic with reference to the. pro-
ducer. Certain standards obtain as to
results, but not for the responsible
works forty minutes or sixteen hours
as chance determines, and does not
yet know whether she owes to home
duties her woman's whole existence
or only her leisure moments"
Study Wife as Worker.
She proposed that the experts in So
cial work should consider the wife
and mother as a worker and as sub
ject for research; her Industrial
standards: her hours and other physi-
cal conditions of work. her rewards:
You have studied the family status OF
breadwinning mothers Study and
develop the status of the bread-well,
bread -purveyor, II not breakmaker.
Social progress within the home
has more than kept step with commu-
nifty progress, in material matters, but
this is not true in regard to mental
and moral values. Changes there are,
in the relations OF husband and wife,
of parents and children. but these
have rather evolved blindly than come
through conscious self direction. Real
ment on values realized and an in
crease in these values. The impon-
dera bles in the home need attention.
Take. for example. the status Of
the housewife and mother. The spirit
of the home is hers to create, more
than any others, yet her duties as an
Individual, to herself, to her family, to
the community. are not yet evaluated.
Asks Survey of Home.
"Such study / envisage most seri-
ously: ideally. perhaps, in the form of
foundation. which should survey
existing conditions, from those of
simple housewives to those Of profes;;
sionally trained women; which should
develop the essential standards of
home life, the true amenities, as dis
tinguished from the traditional or the
which should settle the
question of drudgery versus duties;

Always TactfuIIy Done,
Says Ohio Delegate.

A cross-section Of the prevailing
opinions of social work and social
workers shows that the public real
ICES the necessity for social work

but that it does not find the workers
always thoroughly informed. fair
minded. tactfully considerate and
practical
The foregoing are the conclusions
drawn by Mrs. Lucia Johnson Bing of
Rio Grande, Ohio, who gave an ad-
dress in the Washington Hotel this
morning on What the Public Thinks
Of Social Work" To find out what
the public thinks of social work. Mrs
Bing sent out a QUESTIONABLE to 225
teachers, merchants. legislators, club
women and other folk.
Other speakers on public opinion
or social work were George A. Hast
ings of New York, assistant chairman
of the committee on public opinion of
the National Conference of Social
work, who also presided: Leroy Z
Bowman, instructor in sociology, Co
lumbia University, New York. and
Gerald w. Johnson, associate editor,
Greensboro News. Greensboro, N c.
The public does give US credit for
being well intentioned and fairly in
telngent," said Mrs. Bing in conclud-
ing her remarks, all except one
merchant, who wrote: Social workers
are 20 per cent nuts; otherwise they
would not be IN this kind of work.

Mr. Bowman said the newspapers
of the United States are becoming
more favorably disposed in their atti-
tude toward social work His ad-
dress was based on a study of the

today as compared with fifty years
ago. The study disclosed an enor-
nous increase in the number of ref
erences and the actual space allot-
ted" said Mr. Bowman. But in pro
portion TO the total news space in the
papers, the amount remains substan-
TALLY the same"
Mr.. Hastings. who is publicity
director for the conference, said the
newspapers Of America are the
strongest allies of social workers.
Many newspapers today" he added,
ARE giving news and editorial space
to the developments in the field of
public and private social service
which formerly left this great area
of modern life and. community inter
est almost untouched by their news

newspapers are finding that social
work has a real news value, and that
public welfare today is something

ton of aims. The organized efforts
to provide wiser distribution of re-

GREAT MOUNTAIN C0LLAPSES
Aussee Sanding in Mountainous Re
uions Near Vienna Disintegrat-
ina Quite Rapidly.

The geological freak of great
mountain disintegrating so fast that 1t
is dlscernible day by day-a thing
that ordinarily takes thousands OF
years-is occurring in the mountain
Gus regions near Vienna.
The Aussee Sanding, rising over
5000 feet, is simply eollapsing. Its
great cones and pinnacles of rock are
crashing and tumbling as If under
mined by gnomes; the forests that
clothed the slopes lie fiat or move
slowly and steadily downward, piling
into the valleys, and the turf carpet
moves with them. Over three and
three-quarter miles of territory are in
volved in the movement and hundreds
of sightseers view the convulsions
from opposite slopes.
The phenomenon has been in prog
ess for nearly a year with gradually
increasing acceleration. One scientific
explanation is the presence of an abb
normal quantity of water in the chalky
limestone core of the mountain, caus-
ing the collapse of great caverns and
the SHINING Of strata.

an allusion to Herbert Shivers, who
officiated yesterday at the corner
stone laying. The paper was yellow
with age and it recited that Herbert
Shivers, who is a member of the State
Militia, returned from the shooting
contest at Cape May, bringing medal
with him for superior skill exhibited" !"
The speakers were Senator W. H.
Bright, Mayor Courtright Smith and
Mayor Ralph Whitley. Rev. Lewis M.
