A job with a living wage is
found for the well meaning
though misplaced man; a wild
ow is helped in her immediate
necessity to gain the freedom
of self-support, which, with a
little help, is just within her
reach; a child-wife is shown
how to better manage on her
husbands small wage; an I'M
loved child is given a square
deal by adoption in home
where love awaits it; disease is
arrested and deformity and de-
linquency often prevented by a
timely trip to the clinic, where
an examination and diagnosis
is made and necessary treat
ments given.
The work of this association
is economic, as we'll as merci-
full and preventive, acting as an
insurance policy against the
contamination which results
from neglect of the poor; in
end saving the State thousands
of dollars by reducing the unm-
Der of institutional dependents.
Some day we hope the chill
dren in every county of Mary
land will have an equal chance,
and then Maryland's mother
heart can know tranquility.

be our States future in terms

work is under the direction
of trained social workers who
cooperate not only with a vol
unteer organization, which
consists of county chairman
and as many district chairmen
as there are districts in the
particular county, but with all
other existing agencies. Under
each of these district chairmen
a group of volunteers supple
ment the trained workers ac-
tivities in various useful ways,
such as friendly visiting, trans
portation of sick children to
the hospital for treatment,
clerical work, repairing old
clothes and making new ones;
supplying sundry needs from
the bounty of their own homes.
The expense of this work is
met by appropriation from the
County Commissioners and by
volunteer subscriptions. The
budgets are not large, since the
policy of the organization is to
help others to help themselves,
rather than to patch up depen-
dency by the old fashioned ap-
plication of a ton of coal and a
bushel of potatoes.
The trained worker investi-
gates the cause of the trouble
and then with her volunteers
help, treats that cause.

his backfield material looked not so
