The Right Rev. James Z. Free

president Of the Board Of Trustees
Of the House of Mercy, emphasized
that ut Is not sumcient for 1t to

STORED and where strength Is gained
for them to face the world un-

The House Of Mercy considers
both the welfare of the mother and
child. Since it Is not always best,
in many cases not possible, for the
mother to take her child when she
leaves the home, she is given the
privilege OF boarding the baby here
until she can establish herself and
decide the wisest plan to pursue.

In rehabilitating unfortunate girls
and returning them to the, COM
munity as worthy citizens, and IN
giving their nameless babies q start
on the road to useful lives, this
house Of refuge and training school
blesses those who give to it no less
than those who receive its shelters
and preparation to face the future.
Largely dependent on the phil
anthropic efforts Of its board OF
lady managers for the necessary
supplementation Of its limited in
come, the House of Mercy restricts
its appeals to the public to two a
year. One of these is its food and
apron sale in the fall, when 1t holds
"open-house."
Its major fund-raising effort Is
held each February. During this
month, according to its custom for
five years, the House Of Mercy will
ask residents of Washington for
subscriptions to a phantom" din
ner.
Home Gets All Of Gifts.
The entire subscription Of this
fund-raising scheme for this char
ity, limited by copyright to the
specific use of the House of Mercy,
goes to the support of the home.
The plan is simple. Subscribers
pay $500 for a make-believe dinner
which they do not eat. The cause
which the House of Mercy serves
benefits 100 per cent by the sum
thus raised.
Mrs. James M. Green and Mrs.
Ralph Hallett, sponsors of the din
ner from the time Of its inception,
will direct this years campaign.
The House of Mercy differs from
other institutions of similar char
acter In certain respects. Although
strictly non-sectarian, it is dis
tinctly religious In character, and
is a diocesan institution under
the jurisdiction of the Episcopal

Education Is Valuable
EDITORIAL

OF the many problems with which
the world is confronted today, the
problem of education appears the
most wildly to the student. For, as
we have been told. the future of
our democracy depends great deal
on the degree to which its people
are educated. A psychologist has
defined education as "a process OF
adjustment. Spencer regarded edu-
cation as preparation for complete
living.
Public schools have proved in
valuable toward raising the stand
ard of education Having tasted OF
the bread of education. many would
20 on, but higher education is bar
red temporarily to some who lack
necessary funds. II is only de-
tour, for the ambitious student al
ways makes a way. Scholarships
have aided graduates in furtherlng
their educational careers.
Another problem which the stu
dent has to face is the matter of
choosing a vocation. 1T is not easy
to choose wisely. Much thought
and personal analysis is required
before one can be sure Of the course
ne is to follow
At any rate, let us, as means
of contributing to the development
of our democracy, consider educa-
ton as an essential toward that
goal, as we are the future genera
ton.
