Does Washington
Want Community
Chest?

The experiences ! Of other
cities with community chests
should be considered in making
q decision for Washington.
This newspaper has obtained,
from special correspondents,
the story Of the community
chest in cities whose pOpula-
tiOn Is comparable to that Of
Washington.
The series will be presented,
one each day for several days.

need. These go before the budget
and distribution committee and falr
estimates for the complete budget
are arrived at after the committee
has heard the organizations moro
fully.
The total Of all requests from
members Of the Council Of Social
Agencies set up In the budget be-
comes the campaign goal. Every
item Of increased expenditure -
challenged by the budget committee
and none is. allowed unless it seems
seriously necessary.
Overhead Cut,
Another important advantage OF
the community fund method lies in
the substantial reduction of over
head costs made possible by the
plan. Small individual campaigns
for social agencies are likely to cost
as much as Is to 20 per cent. OF
the amount subscribed the COM
munity fund camT aign IN Indianap-
oils costs sIightly more than 8 per
cent. The entire financial overhead
in 1924, including campaign, col
lection and disbursement cost only
about 7M per cent. In addition to
this expenditure the central Office
defrays the cost Of the Council or
Social Agencies and of auditing all
the. accounts OF fund member or.
ganizations.
The auditing services includes a
variety Of services such as INSTALL
ing systems OF account, procuring
appraisals of property, arriving at
net worth Of organizations, giving
advice as to invested accounts, pro-
curing surveys Of repairs needed on
institutions and estimates of costs
and others.
The thirty-eight organizations
which participate in the community
fund do not depend entirely on the
fund for support In all cases. For
example, in a year in which APP
propriations from the fund totaled
S51S, 1858, the other incomes Of
member organizations, $46O,OGO.
Every contributor to the com.
munity fund is q member and en-
titled to vote at the annual meet
ing at which the board Of directors
of twenty-one citizens is elected.
The annual meeting precedcs the
annual campaign in which 1000
workers cover every part of the
city in the course of q week. The
campaign holds the interest Of
every organization and person in
the city and the progress OF various
teams is keenly watched. It is
the object to have every citizen
of the city give something zach

INDIANAPOLIS, Ipd., June g.
The community fund method OF
financing social work organizations
has demonstrated to the citizens Of
Indianapolis, in the five years 1t
has been in operation. that its pos
sibilities for good are unlimited and
that its principle Is sound.
The Indianapolis community fund
is distinct organization in itself.
incorporated under the laws of In
diana, but to the mind Of the
average citizen, and for all prac-
tical purposes, 1t stands as the
financing body of the indianapolis
Council Of Social Agencies, which
has in its membership every
charitable, health. and public serv
ice organization in the city, includ-
ing even. official department boards
of the city. The two organizations,
however, retain their separate
identity and work through one an.
other by corrolating channels
Since the organization Of the In
dianapolis community fund in 1920.
~ the child of the Indianapolis
war chest. which had pointed the
way through successful experiences
in combined campaigns for national
ana local funds, all agencies, have
worked for its stability and perma-
nency in complete harmony. It
has been proved that with proper
organization, jealous feelings have
been cropped and the primary pur-
poses for which 1t WAS organized
have been kept foremost in the
minds Of not only the organizations
benefitting, but In the mind of the
public.
Mission TwO-fOld.
( The primary purpose of the
community fund is set forth as
being two-fold: to estimate the
amount Of money required through
voluntary gifts reasonably to safe
guard. the health, economic well.
being and good citizenship of the
community, and to raise and ex-
pend that money' with the least
waste and greatest efficiency
possible.
Secondary. purposes of the fund
are to protect the business man
and the factory operative from
frequent solicitation, this being
accomplished by the reduction of
current expense campaigns from
thirty-nfne TO one in Indianapolis,
and to prevent inposters from
preying on the good intentions of
contributors.
The advantageous features Of
the community fund are set forth
as being the facts that one cam
pafgn a year is conducted for the
current expenses of member or
ganizations; that campaign workers
are relieved of q multiplicity of
campaigns; that givers are relieved
from a multiplicity OF solicitations:
that the cost OF raising the money
for all combined charities Is cut
70 one-third Of the cost Of raising
money for individual organizations
In separate campaigns: that
business methods are adopted in
the planning and executing OF the
budgets of member organizations:
that in the outset ten times as
many givers were listed as con.
tributors to the charities; that work

ship and less crime for the com

effort for the well-being OF all.
All Agencies Represented.
The council of social agencies in
cludes delegates representing all
public and private social agencies.
This delegation names three mem
bers of the board Of directors CT
the community fund. Other direc-
tors are named two by officers Of
the fund an two by the funds
campaign committee. Members or
the fund include institutional MEM
bers, representing benefiting organi-
zations. norary, representing
heavy givers, and individual mem
bers, represent all givers to the
fund.
The council of social agencies
also names a majority Of the mem
bers of the budget and distribution
committee of the community fund,
directors OF the fund naming the
other members. Thus it>>is that
the annual campaign is waged by
a committe in which the agencies
have a representation and the
budgets and expenditures are made
by a committe in which the
agencies have majority member
ship.
The interlocking organizations
and responsible bodies have the
effect of making the whole system
self-perpetuating after a fashion
and at the same time making way
for those most actively interested in
the purposes and progress Of The
community fund scheme to step to
its leadership. Being selected head
Of the campaign committee or the
budget and distribution committee
or an officer in either, the fund or
council Is regarded as q high
honor in Indianapolis.
Has Sister Body.
AS a sister organization, the In
dianapolis council Of social agencies
Is closely related to the community
fund in all the planning phases Of
the work. The council has a mem.
bership OF sixty-five organizations
and public departments, including
all the organizations in the fund.
To these are added such other i'm
portant movements as the city
Health Department, the Department
Of Public Parks, and the Board of
School Commissioners.
1t Is readily recognized that the
health work Of the city, for ex-
ample, ought to receive attention
as a whole rather than as a series
of presumably unrelated activities.
This is carried out in the infant
welfare service OF the Health De-
partment and the medical social
service given by the Dispensary
Aid Association. The principle ap-
plies widely to the field Of social
work.

MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE

But Denfense Day is another propo-
sition in the opinion OF the paciicists,
and so much opposition has been di-
rectcd against such an observance OF
Armistice Day, as to cause other dates
to be suggested as being probably
more appropriate for the annual mus
ter. Almost too late for this year
came the plan for celebrating July 4th
as Defense Day, and while this sug-
gest;on is still untaken, comes anoth-
err that April g, the anniversary OF the
declaration of war by the United
States in the world conflict would be

have been a changing sentence where

There is an alarming decrease OF

seventh grade upward. Are they dis
Outraged? Has inefficient teaching
had this effect? Along with its pride
in its accredited position in the state,
every school should have local pride
developed in the teachers that their
pupils shall not fail. If majority OF
class fail in an examination on a Civ
en- subject, are the pupils at fault? The
trouble may be with the curriculum
that ambitious professors have mapped
out. Too frequently the blame rests
with an inefficient teacher, who lacks
perception to discover before exatni-
nation day comes around what the pu
pills are actually getting under her
tutelage, or it may be she is lacking
herself, the needful preparation for
each days work or lacking the teach
my ability, that is born not made 1t is
a question vital enough to be cons d.

college students alone or are we work

reputation of the high school of great
er value than the character of the
work being done in the elementary
grades?
