Hiss RHODA WELDING,
I'M the new secretary of the
Family Welfare Society
with extensive experience in So
ciai service and welfare work
condemns indiscriminant and hap
hazard charity.
Upon her arrival in the city
recently to assume her duties she
said: II believe in adequate re-
lief, but not perpetual relief"
That's the heart Of the prob
lem OF charity-to prevent relief
from becoming a habit. Relief
doIed out, whenever requested, en-
courages mendicancy and by dis
couraging initiative defeats it's own
purpose.
True charity lies not only in
relieving temporary distress but
in preventing recurrence OF the
necessity for relief.
Any case Of obvious distress
stirs the emotions of generous In
dividuals. whether II is a worthy
case OF temporary need or chronic
mendicancy. Both classes look
alike superhcially, so frequently
individual charity responds with
out investigation.
Consequently street beggary is
a lucrative vocation-and many
benevolences OF charitable indi-
viduals go astray. A person may
drop a dime in beggar's hat, but
the act isn't benefting either the
beggar or society. That isn't char
ity. it's almsgiving.
1t is charity dispensed by social
and welfare organizations that does
the permanent good. Such orga-
nizations. by mixing soft-hearted
impulses with cold-blooded investi-
cations. have done more in a few
years to better social conditions
than all the haphazard almsgiving
OF the centuries.

Waltz Days
