The first of a series of visits to
organizations doing social welfare
work was made last week by MEM
bers of the high school sociology
class to the relief camp northwest
of town. This is the camp where
whole families are cared for, the
men of the families working in the
fields to raise the foodstuffs later
distributed among the group ac-
cording to the size of the family.
Judging from reports of members
of the class, one of the most inter-
esting discoveries made was the
fact that there is no time limita-
ton upon any one family's stay at
the camp. Although the families are
not allowed to remain after they
have found profitable employment,
rhey may live at the lamp as long
as they are unemployed, the only
requirement being that they aid in
making the improvements about the
place. The residents, however, are
urged to find employment as soon
as possible Next week the class will
visit the transient camp on Fourth
street.
