President Edward T. Devine, General Secretan- Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/charityorganizatOOchar Rnvmw or thi: yuar The past year^ in social work has been a period of extraordi- nary activity. There have been more people than usual in need of help, and there has been greater sympathy with their troubles, showing in more vigorous and more varied activity and closer co-operation in their behalf, with remarkably little of an objec- tionable or ill-advised character ; and there has also been at the same time an unprecedented interest in poverty, disease, and crime as social problems, and in the social conditions which favor their persistence. The Charity Organization Society has shared in the general increase of work which has come on account of the contraction in industry ; it has tried to find those families, naturally so appeal- ing, and generally believed to be so numerous, who need help but will not ask for it ; it has made every effort to ensure for each of the 5,773 families in charge of the districts during the year as careful Consideration as each of the 3,336 received the year before, and to adapt the work of all departments to the needs of the situ- ation ; it has kept in close touch with the various sources of in- formation about labor conditions ; it has urged on the city au- thorities the prosecution of public works already determined on and on employers the resumption of activities, as measures of relief for the situation ; and it has given increasing attention to the study of general social conditions and the devising and pro- moting of measures for their improvement. V/e are able to record that we have not been obliged, by lack of resources, to refuse assistance to any family in need who has come to our notice. There is, on the contrary, evidence in our • BDdiug September 30, 1908. 10 - REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL case records that relief has been given more liberally than in years of general prosperity; emergent aid has been given more frequently than in other years to families who were found, after thorough inquiry, not to have needed it, and cases were "taken up" who under ordinary circumstances might profitably have been "left to their own resources." The suspension of activities for a week by the United Hebrew Charities and certain limitations which they found necessary to observe for a while after resuming work, have increased the number of exceptional instances of Jewish families in the care of the Charity Organization Society. Repeated offers of assistance for families in need, sent to hospi- tals, dispensaries, schools, churches, day nurseries, and settle- ments, have brought to the Society some families, though fewer than might have been expected, who would not otherwise have found their way. Our financial statements show that the expenses of the Society have materially increased, but that the contributions have come within four thousand dollars oi keeping up with the new demands. The increase in the number of contributors is especially gratifying, and is especially noticeable in the case of relief obtained, that list being about five times as long as it was the year before. We record with sorrow the loss during the year of two dis- trict agents. Miss M. D. Henry, agent of the Gramercy District since 1891, and Mrs. E. A. McCutcheon, agent of the Greenwich District for the same long period of seventeen years, died within six months of each other, — Miss Henry on January 28, after a brief struggle with pneumonia, Mrs. McCutcheon on July 20, after a lingering illness. The Charity Organization Society has in them lost two loyal and faithful workers, and the poor of New York have lost two of their best friends. Still another bereavement has come in the death, on August 28, of George P. Rowell, a valued friend and officer of the Society for over twenty years. Mr. Rowell had served on two of the District Committees, and on the Finance, Membership, REVIEW OF THE YEAR II Mendicancy, Co-operation, Publication, and Executive Commit- tees, and on the Central Council, and had been a Vice-President of the Society for fourteen years. At a critical period in the history of the Society's publication Charities, Mr. Rowell's financial help ensured its existence; and in many other ways he helped make our history. The problems of the Society interested him and brought out his kindly humor and practical sympathy and stores of knowledge. It is with grateful appreciation of his services that he will be remembered. The year has been a hard one for the poor in New York City, as it has been also for many of the well-to-do. A much larger number of families than in any of the ten or twelve years pre- ceding have had to ask for help ; many others have been able to maintain independence only by unwonted economies, amounting not infrequently, we must believe, to deprivation. How much actual suffering there has been this year, how much more than last year, no one knows, nor even how much has come to the notice of public and private charities and been relieved. Still less is it possible to estimate how many people have been living in poverty, in the sense of having had less food and fuel and clothi»g and other necessities than they required to maintain their efficiency; and still less, how many of these have been in poverty on account of the conditions of the labor market. What we do know, from our own experience, is that since last October our districts have had seventy-three per cent more families in care than they had the year before ; that whereas in recent years an able-bodied man has been almost an unknown character among our district families, he has this year been an increasingly conspicuous and increasingly perplexing factor, pres- ent in a fourth or a fifth of the families ; that in other families the trouble has been that boys and girls have lost their work in factories ; that homeless men have come to the Joint Application Bureau in three and four and five times their usual numbers; that the Wood Yard has given employment to three and four and 12 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL five times as many men during- the winter months as it did the year before ; that able-bodied men and women have been applying at the Employment Bureau for the Handicapped ; that the recep- tion agent has had a long line of callers who did not want relief, but information as to where to find work, or how to collect wages due them, or how to get a small loan ; and that the deposits in the Penny Provident Fund have been smaller and the withdrawals heavier in proportion, especially at the settlement stations. We know, furthermore, from our conferences and correspond- ence and observation, that other charitable societies have felt a similar increase in the demands on them ; that the Municipal Lodging "House has on many nights been unable to accommodate all its applicants ; that many small deposits have been withdrawn gradually from the savings banks until accounts were exhausted ; that immigration fell off in the winter months while eastern bound steamers carried back to Europe unprecedented numbers of re- cent immigrants ; that the Provident Loan Society has made many thousands of small loans, which indicated stress among wage-earners, and that the percentage of loans unpaid was con- siderably larger than for several years past ; that a visitor going from house to house among families who had no connection with relief agencies found women and children sitting in rooms without a fire ; that other visitors, in various parts of the city, commonly found the man of the family at home in the day-time. Farther than this, however, it is difficult to go. That there has been any considerable amount of unrelieved suffering there is no reason to believe. It may be possible that, as one entertain- ing magazine writer has whimsically complained, charity has con- fined its ministrations this year to the amateurs in dependence and has pitilessly neglected the ''professionals" who in other years live off the bread lines and missions and benevolent pedestrians. If that is true, so much the better for all concerned, especially for the neglected professionals. From the data we have had on which to base an opinion, however, we should judge that the "professionals" have fared rather better than in other recent REVIEW OF THE YEAR 13 years, and that many of the unemployed who have been enjoying the pubHc's sympathy have been of the class of professional men- dicants, the nucleus in New York augmented by strangers from all parts of the country. The Bread Lines have been much longer than usual, but they have been composed of much the same type of individual as has been long identified with them. That street begging has found too ready response in careless generosity has been clear in the story of many a homeless man at the Joint Application Bureau who has said that he ''met a friend" who helped him out, and admitted on questioning that the "friend" was a stranger whom he had accosted in the street. From time to time through the winter conferences were held by representatives of organizations which exist for the benefit of the poor of New York, to discuss the needs of the situation, and in January the Charity Organization Society, the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, and the United Hebrew Charities engaged a special agent, Mr. Frank J. Warne, to make a study of the extent and character of the unemployment in the city. Mr. Warne's report was printed in Charities and The Commons for February 8. At no time has it seemed advisable to recommend artificial employment on a large scale or to establish extraordinary relief agencies, because conditions have at no time been so bad as to justify resorting to measures which are themselves apt to work positive injury. There has been little of the dramatic or sensational in the situation, either in the extent of sufifering or in attempts to relieve it. The newspapers have preserved a cheerful and reasonable attitude. They have contained fewer pathetic fictions of starving widows and children than there have sometimes been in pros- perous years. As for demonstrations of the unemployed, there have been practically none. The meeting advertised as such, in Union Square on March 28, was in reality called by some radical agitators and was attended chiefly by curious idlers and passers-by who were to all appearance comfortably clothed and fed. The 14 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL attention it attracted was due to police intervention and the throwing of a bomb by a Russian tailor who said that he wanted to blow up the police, not that he wanted work. In June there was a recrudescence of popular excitement over underfed school children as a distinct relief problem. The estab- lished relief agencies of the city renewed their standing offers to the Board of Education to provide for the needs of any family referred to them by a school teacher or principal. This did not seem adequate to all who had the welfare of school children at heart, and a Children's Relief Society was formed, which secured contributions to the amount of $3,500, and for the last two or three weeks of the school year provided luncheon on school days for two or three hundred children in two school districts on the lower East Side. On holidays and through the summer vacation this relief was lacking and we have not learned that it has been renewed with the reopening of school this fall. The most significant demonstration of the year on the part of the poor was the organization of the tenants of the lower East Side in a strike for a reduction in the high tenement rents, which have been an increasingly serious burden in the last two or three years. There were smaller sympathetic movements in the upper East and upper West sides of Manhattan, and in Williams- burg. The landlords organized in their turn and threatened hun- dreds of evictions, though few were executed. It came to an end quietly after four or five weeks — there had been practically no violence — without much affecting existing rents, but it served the purpose of ventilating the "lessee system" and of warning speculative tenement buyers ''that the East Side has reached its limit of rent paying ability." The year has brought a number of additions to the philan- thropic resources of the city. A work-room for the temporary employment of unskilled women, opened on February 24 by the Manhattan Trade School and the Alliance Employment Bureau, will, it is hoped, be permanent. Another work-room for women, but without the educational character which dis- REVIEW OF THE YEAR 15 tinguishes this one, has been conducted by the Harlem Rehef Society. A third Mills Hotel, at Seventh Avenue and 36th Street, was opened in the early winter. Growing- out of the work of Miss Maude E. Miner, probation officer in the night court, a small temporary home for vvromen released on proba- tion has been established at 165 West Tenth Street by a society which has taken the name of the New York Probation Associa- tion. A training-school for attendants in institutions for sick and defective children has been established by the Department of Public Charities on Randall's Island. The Ethical-Social League has been formed as a means of inter- course among ''the forces that make for righteousness in this community," and has held several conferences. A new day nursery was opened in the Bronx in March. Facilities for providing good and clean milk for tenement house babies have been increased by the seven depots of the New York Milk Committee of the Association for Improving the Condi- tion of the Poor. By the same Association the Caroline Rest Country Club for Social Workers, the gift of George H. F. Schrader, was opened in July at Hartsdale, New York. Hud- son Guild has moved into a new house in West Twenty- Seventh Stfeet. A Bureau of School Hygiene has been estab- lished in the Health Department. The most pressing needs in the charitable resources of the city at present are institutions for the care of consumptives in all stages of the disease, homes for the aged, temporary homes for respectable women and girls. The diet kitchens and the day nurseries are finding themselves hard pressed to meet the demands on their resources. There has been a complete change in the situation with regard to tuberculosis in the city and state in the last year. Whereas a year ago the institutions for early cases, in spite of their demonstrable inadequacy as compared with the num- ber of early cases in the state, could not be kept full, it is now difficult to find room for a patient in any of them. This i6 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL change must be attributed, as far as New York City is con- cerned, to the intelligent work of the Association for Tuber- culosis Clinics, which is an out-grow^th from the work of this Society's Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis in its administration of the $20,000 relief fund for consumptives, and to the educational work that has been carried on by the Committee, the Board of Health, and other agencies which have been patiently at work for several years. It is a gratify- ing evidence of effective work, while it means a temporary embarrassment in the care of tuberculous patients, and creates an urgent need for additional provision to meet the demand which the educational work has created. Additional pro- vision for advanced cases is even more urgent, as the over- crowded condition of the Metropolitan Infirmary last winter clearly indicated. There were two important events in New York City dur- ing the year wdiich were quite outside any routine. The Charity Organization Society celebrated its twenty-fifth an- niversary by holding, in November, a Conference on the Bet- terment of Living Conditions; and in March an Exhibit of Congestion of Population, prepared by the Committee on Con- gestion, was shown for three weeks at the IMuseum of Natural History. The object of the Congestion Exhibit was "to make clear the conditions, causes and evils of the massing of people in New York, and in limited areas; the present methods of dealing with the problems involved; and the methods, legis- lative and others, which should be adopted to remedy such congestion." Maps, diagrams, photographs, models, and plain statistics were massed together to depict the "condi- tions", the "causes", and the "cures". It attracted many visitors, and many notable addresses were made at the public meetings held in connection with it. Later in the spring it was moved to Brooklyn. The Conference on the Betterment of Living Conditions REVIEW OF THE YEAR 17 began with an evening meeting at Carnegie Hall, attended by three thousand friends of the Society, at which there were addresses by the president and the general secretary of the Charity Organization Society, Governor Hughes and Mayor McClellan, Thomas M. Mulry, R. Fulton Cutting and Jacob H. Schiff, representing the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, and the United Hebrew Charities, and Dr. Emil Muenster- berg, president of the Department of Public Charities of Berlin, who had crossed the ocean to bring a greeting from the charitable societies of Germany. Four sessions were held in the Assembly Hall of the United Charities Building, in the mornings and evenings of the next two days. The general topics of discussion were: I Changes in social conditions in New York in twenty- five years. 2. Development, scope and outlook of the charity organi- zation movement. 3. The social education of the community: how to increase the knowledge of sound principles and good methods in social work. 4. Charity organization extension. Among those who took part in the discussions, besides the officers of the Society, were: Felix M. Adier, Frederic Almy, Ernest P. Bicknell, David Blaustein, Jeffrey R. Brackett, H. S. Braucher, Herbert S. Brown, Robert W. Bruere, Allen T. Burns, Miss Frances G. Curtis, Johnston de Forest, Homer Folks, Hugh F. Fox, John M. Glenn, Mrs. Glenn, Robert W. Hebberd, Miss Alice L. H iggins, Dr. Woods Hutchinson, Dr. Theodore C. Jane- way, Alexander Johnson, Mrs. Florence Kelley, Sherman R. Kingsley, Louis Levin, Francis H. McLean, J. W. Magruder, Benjamin C. Marsh, Emil Muensterberg, John Martin, Robert Treat Paine, Miss Mary E. Richmond, Jacob A. Riis, Miss Zilpha D. Smith, Graham Taylor, Frank Tucker, Aliss Lillian D. Wald, Robert A. Woods. l8 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL Many other persons well known in the National Confer- ence were present from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Chi- cago and near-by towns, as well as from New York. Some fifty charity organization societies were represented. The Conference was fundamentally a gathering of the leaders in charity organization work, to review what has been accomplished, to face what remains to be done, and to find new courage and wisdom and vigor for doing it. It was in no sense a private celebration, an occasion for reciting with pride what the New York Charity Organization Society had done in its twenty-five years. The reviews of things done were just so many measurements to show how much work there is further to be done — cubic measure, perhaps, where accomplishment thus far has been linear, — sounding new depths of need and distress, enlisting new breadths of democratic co-operation, setting new heights of practical achievement ahead. Throughout the country, as in New York, there has been an extraordinary number of important events, and a back- ground of interest in social problems which has never before been so general, so lively and so well-informed. Industrial education, the standard of living, the industrial exploitation of women, rural conditions, playgrounds, and vagrancy, have been among the newer popular topics; housing has kept its permanent interest; there has been a much needed revival of concern about the conditions in county jails ; and perhaps the strongest of all, underlying or involved in many of the others, has been health, not only in the sense of the prevention of disease, but also as a positive ideal of physical well-being. This atmosphere of general interest in social problems is felt in President's and governors' messages, legislative dis- cussions, party platforms, campaign speeches, news columns and editorials, magazine articles, and the deliberations of bodies organized primarily for quite a different purpose. A few of the crystallizations from it which may be mentioned REVIEW OF THE YEAR 19 are the non-partisan wave of prohibition legislation over the South ; the frank discussion by the Brewers' Association "of the public issues involved in the regulation of the saloon and the administration of the excise laws" ; the formation of de- partments of social service in several of the denominational organizations of the churches and the extension of industrial work by the Christian Associations ; the recognition in many hospitals of the social aspects of medical work; the institution in Massachusetts of savings bank insurance. In our own state race-track gambling has been abolished, and two important legislative commissions have been created, one to investigate the methods of procedure in the inferior criminal courts of New York, Rochester, and Buffalo, the other to study the subject of immigration as far as it is a matter for state rather than national concern. The State Conference Committee on the standard of living has been finishing its work. The State Charities Aid Association, in co-operation with the State Board of Health, has instituted a vigorous tuberculosis campaign throughout the state out- side of New York City, of which results have already been apparent. In the federal government Congress has passed a new Employers' Liability Law, to take the place of the 1906 meas- ure which was found unconstitutional ; the Supreme Court, in its decision in the case of Curt Muller vs. the State of Ore- gon, has upheld legislative regulation of women's work ; the Department of Commerce and Labor has been prosecuting its inquiry into the work of women and children, and the Im- migration Commission has been carrying on the investigation for which it was appointed ; the Immigration Bureau has taken advantage of the authorization, in the law of February 20, 1907, to establish a Division of Information, to open em- ployment bureaus for immigrants in New York and Balti- more; the White House conference of state governors re- sulted in the appointment by the President of a commission 20 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL on the Conservation of National Resources, which would not have been entirely outside our field even if the subject of human vitality had not been added for consideration to waters, forests, lands, and minerals ; and the President's com- mission on the needs of rural communities is a direct re-in- forcement of the movement for the relief of the congestion of population in cities. Of national importance, also, is the organization of a de- partment of emergency relief in the American National Red Cross, under the direction of Ernest P. Bicknell, president of the 1909 Conference of Charities and Correction, on the gen- eral plan outlined by Mr. Bicknell a year ago in the New York Conference on the Betterment of Living Conditions. The fire in Chelsea, Massachusetts, the mine disasters in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Alabama, tornadoes and floods in the Gulf states, and forest fires in Minnesota have occurred within the last year to point the need of some pro- vision for dealing with distress caused by unforeseen public calamities. Within the year, also, the San Francisco relief work has been brought to an end, and a critical study is in progress of the methods and results of that stupendous piece of emergency relief. The ''nationalization" of social movements is going on rapidly. It is at once an evidence of growth and an aid to effective work. Several new national organizations have re- cently been added to the National Child Labor Committee and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which date back to 1904, and during the past year the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, the Playground Association of America, and the American Association for Labor Legislation have taken their places by the side of the older bodies, with a central office, an executive staff, plans for propaganda, and an annual meet- ing of technical and popular interest. The charity organiza- tion movement, in the Field Department of Charities Publication REVIEW OF THE YEAR 21 Committee, has become definitely organized on a national basis. This development of social movements for the improve- ment of conditions is one of the striking characteristics of the present moment in social work. Perhaps even more striking is the desire for accurate information about conditions which is expressed in the many investigations that are going on under both governmental and private auspices, some of them more zealous than wise, but others well-planned and of the most vital importance. The Russell Sage Foundation, which is an evidence of this desire quite as much as a stimulant to it, has finished an experimental eighteen months. Some of the more important inquiries which have been furthered or made pos- sible by its appropriations are the Pittsburgh Survey, the study of juvenile delinquency, the salary loan business, and other rc search by fellows in the four professional training schools for social workers, the typhoid fever investigation in Pittsburgh, the study of the San Francisco relief work, of working men's insur- ance, and of the placing out of children. The International Congress on Tuberculosis, which con- vened in Washington on September 28, with delegations from thirty-three nations, was the most notable rally that has yet been seen of the social forces which are working, independ- ently 0/ in concerted action, for the diminution of the most destructive disease in the modern civilized world. Two of the seven sections in which the Congress was organized were concerned exclusively with the social aspects of the problem: Section VI, on governmental control; and Section V, entitled Hygienic, Social, Industrial, and Economic Aspects, of which the general secretary of this Society was president. Charities AND The Commons for November 7, 1908, is devoted to a re- view of the Congress from the social worker's point of view. ijc 2|C jfc jjc jfl jjc At a discussion on the Old Age Pension bill in London last summer it was said by one of the leaders in social work that the hope of an independent life from start to finish for 22 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL every one was evidently a lost ideal in England. In the United States it is an ideal that is constantly gaining vigor. We are not developing a "pauper class." A ''hard year," such as we have just finished, makes us realize that unem- ployment, in the sense of lack of work for men able and will- ing to work, is not, in our country, a large permanent prob- lem, but confronts us only temporarily, at long intervals; and furthermore, and most encouraging of all, the temporary increase in dependence has not interfered with the progress of movements for the general improvement of social condi- tions. The individual families in need have not been neg- lected, but there has been time and thought and money also for the work which will keep down the numbers of families who will need help in future years. The increased effective- ness of the organized movements for a better distribution of population ; for abolishing premature and unsuitable employ- ment for women and children; for preventing preventable disease and accidents ; for ensuring decent and sanitary dwell- ings, and spaces for play and recreation; for protecting all consumers against impurities and adulterations in food and drugs ; for keeping families together ; for discrimination in relief ; for the establishment of new charity organization societies and the renascence of existing ones which have lost their original spirit ; for providing a useful and adequate edu- cation for all children — this is the most hopeful feature of the year's work. And this, together with the increased knowledge of social conditions, and the increased enthusiasm for social service, which have also characterized the year, is the best guarantee that we shall not find it necessary to pro- vide a government pension for all our old men and women, and that we may work, with increasing confidence of success, towards the ideal, for every man and woman of normal health and ability, of "an independent life from start to finish." GENERAL WORK THE JOINT APPLICATION BUREAU^ The number of calls from applicants in the Joint Applica- tion Bureau registers roughly the fluctuations in the relief-seek- ing population of the city. Diagram i represents the calls received in each month of the year. The number rose rapidly until March ; there was a noticeable falling oflf in April and May, followed by a remarkable increase in June, July and August, not due altogether to the applications for fresh-air outings at Sea Breeze, (which always swell the number in summer, without indicating an increase in need) ; and again a noticeable drop in September, which again was not due wholly to the cessation of Sea Breeze applications. The increase, at both the periods when it occurred, was due more to families than to homeless men and women. In June, for example, the calls from homeless applicants were fewer than in May, but the calls frcfm resident cases increased so that there was an in- crease in the total number of calls from applicants for relief. Invitations to call at the Bureau were issued lavishly, as in previous years: 42,000 cards placed in the hands of the patrolmen of Alanhattan and Bronx; and 5,300 individual invitations to men in the Bread Lines. Only 136 of the Bread Line men called at all, and most of these declined work, re- fused to give any information, gave false addresses, or failed to return to the office. The experience indicated that not many men looking for work were in the Bread Lines and confirms the conviction expressed in Charities, that the only way to stop the Bread Line is to stop the Bread. 1 Maintained joinfly by the Cliarity Oifjauization Society and the Association for Improving the Condition of the Pooi-. 24 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL The work for individual homeless men and women has been, this year as always, the primary occupation of the Joint Application Bureau, and has been as varied, as picturesque, and as profitable as it always is.

GENERAL WORK 25 Yard found it necessary to place on the number of homeless men, on account of the pressure of applications from men with families. In addition to its case-work the Bureau undertook several related tasks. Early in the year the Department of Public Charities offered to furnish transportation home to strangers in the city who had good standing in their home communities, but no means of getting back. For three months, therefore, an agent under the direction of the Bureau, with the co-opera- tion of the Department, interviewed non-resident men and women at the Municipal Lodging House. Out of nearly 1,200 individuals with whom interviews were had there were only six who could meet the Department's requirements. For seventeen others the Bureau found relatives or friends willing to furnish them with transportation, and for two others who were insane proper institutional care was secured. Many of these men declined to give references, and most of the letters which were written to friends and relatives brought replies similar to this one from a sister in New England "In reply to your letter of the 8th inst. I will say I have a brother by said name. Also I wish to say that any man who has no one to look after but himself and can't do that, need not look tS me for help. * * * j have taken him in enough and have done enough for him. * * * He is in this posi- tion only through drinking and laziness. It may seem strange to you that I refuse him help, but after having had a large family myself and having taken care of my brother in all times of need, I should think now that I have done enough for him. He ought to be ashamed of himself to get down to want when he has good health and no one to care for but himself. * * ^ If he ever finds money enough to come to he need not come to my house. He perhaps has told you a pitiful story, but I am afraid that if he looked for work he could find it." The national discussion of vagrancy which has been going on during the last year has been largely a product of the work of the Joint Application Bureau and the press service of 26 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL Charities Publication Committee. Following up its earlier work the Committee on Joint Application Bureau in Decem- ber, 1907, appointed a sub-committee to draft a bill for the establishment of a labor colony for vagrants. The bill was drafted and will be introduced into the Legislature of 1909. On June i letters were sent out to three hundred editors of country papers in the neighborhood of the city asking their co-operation in placing idle men of New York at work on the farms. By this means work was secured for 75 men. Transportation thither was provided for 66, at a cost of $212.35, of which $110.76 (52 per cent) has been refunded.^ One man was discharged, eight left their work without cause, two stole money from their employers, one was drunk at the time he should have started, but satisfactory reports have been received from 39, and 38 have paid back the money ad- vanced them for railroad fares. The Committee feels that the venture is worth repeating next year, and that by be- ginning in the Spring larger results may be secured. THE REGISTRATION BUREAU There are now on file in the Registration Bureau about 107,500 case records. The number of new cases recorded during the year 1907-08 was 17,562, an increase of 45 per cent over the preceding year. The curve for the year shows much the same fluctuations as are seen in the Joint Application Bureau: an increase each month until March, a drop in April and May, a sudden increase in June. The encouraging decline at the end of the year, not especially noticeable in the Joint Application Bureau until September, began in the Registration Bureau in July. 1 To November 15.

The volume of its work was decreased in 1906-07 by the dis- continuance of the practice of making preliminary investiga- tions for the Districts ; during the year 1907-08 it was further reduced by the discontinuance in April of investigations for hospitals and dispensaries to determine whether patients are financially in a position to pay for the services of a private physician. This service was discontinued because it has been found that the advantage to the community was not at all com- mensurate with the cost involved. Fifty hospitals and dis- pensaries were in the habit of making such inquiries. Their requests inevitably came in with no regularity so that it was not always possible to reply promptly, without keeping a stafif of visitors large enough to deal immediately with the maximum number of inquiries which might be received. It was our experience that such inquiries were made only in re- gard to patients who were apparently able to pay for treat- ment and consequently we rarely found among them any one who needed assistance. The unusual pressure last winter in behalf of families who needed help emphasized the un- satisfactory aspects of this part of our work and led to the decision that it should be discontinued. Arrangements were made with a few hospitals to continue the service on payment of a nominal fee for such investigation. It was explained to all concerned that the action applied only to cases in which the institution's sole interest was to learn of the financial standing of the family, and that the Society stood ready, as in the past, to visit and assist any family apparently in need who came to the attention of a hospital or dispensary. The total number of investigations of all kinds made by the Bureau during the year was 3,444. GENERAL WORK 29 Since February the arrangements for reduced rate tickets for persons in the care of the Districts have been made by the Investigation Bureau. During this period persons have been sent to every European country except Greece and Turkey and to many cities in the south and west of the United States, as well as to nearer places. The main work of the Bureau from day to day consists in making investigations for business houses, benevolent indi- viduals, day nurseries, and societies in other cities. On Sep- tember 30, for example, out of the 108 cases in hand on that day, 72 were of this kind. Requests from societies in other cities have been increasing rapidly : 54 were received during the month of September alone. They involve a wide range of subject — tracing deserting husbands, finding girls who have run away from Rescue Homes, persuading residents of New York to care for destitute kinsmen, and in one case looking up the eligibility of a young man who wished to marry a girl in an institution in another state. The other conspicuous type among the cases on hand on any day is the outstanding loan. Among the 108 cases in charge on September 30 there were 21 of these. The fifteen cases not accounted for among the ''inquiries only" or the loan cases, were persons for whom transportation was being arranged or entry into a sanatorium or convalescent home, or for whom board was being paid for care in a Home or hos- pital or in the country. THE DISTRICTS Not only have the districts had a larger number of families in charge than at any period since the winter of 1893-94, but in some ways their work has been unusually perplexing. It is hard to deal satisfactorily with families containing able- bodied, fairly capable men and women willing to work, when they can not find work and it can not be found for ihem. The greatest care is required to avoid demoralization in the 30 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL best of such families. Another feature which has increased the difficulties of the work is that during the latter half of the year a certain number of applications have been received from a class who do not ordinarily seek organized charity — persons who live on the proceeds of begging, petty thefts, and immoral practices, and who have applied this year in the hope that they might profit by the general sympathy aroused by the hard times. In several districts there has been an in- crease in the number of foreign applicants, which means in- creased difficulty on account of language, if for no other reason. Italians have become more numerous in Greenwich, Gramercy, Harlem, and Bronx, and Slavs in Gramercy. The number of Negro families in charge of Hudson has increased, and part of the time of the Negro nurse is regularly at the disposition of Hudson District. In other districts there have been difficulties due to the physical environment rather than to the population: in Corlears, for example, changes in car tracks have kept the streets in unusually bad condition ; and in Chelsea the new Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal hrs in- volved a decrease in tenement accommodations which has not yet been adjusted and which has affected rents. Diagram 4 shows the number of cases under active care of the districts in each month of the year, compared with the two preceding years. Each month there have been from 34 to 77 per cent more cases under care than there were in the corresponding month of 1906-07. The greatest difference occurred in the late winter and early spring — February, March, and April — and in the latter part of the summer — July, August, and September. The increase in the summer was probably due in part to an unusual amount of fresh-air work done directly by the districts. In recent years this part of our work has been largely advice and direction, applicants being referred to the fresh-air agencies, which made all arrangements for transpor- tation and care. This year, in addition to such use of cs- GENERAL WORK 31 S109-0 /Vo-o ' ' — =d '".-•■••I 4 or} %r, ^ ^ ^tu^ ^ DIAGRAM 4.

Many were sent to private families in the country and this was found to be especially beneficial because the homes were carefully selected for the educational influence they would have as well as for the opportunities they offered for physical im- provement. Day excursions w^ere planned, also, in charge of some one of the office force, for women who could not leave home for a longer stay, and were considered particular- 32 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL ly satisfactory because of the opportunity they gave of bet- ter acquaintance with the women. It is noticeable, in the diagram, that the September figure for this year was a decrease from August, instead of, as usual, an increase, just as in the Joint Application Bureau and the Registration Bureau there was a falling off at the end of the summer. The total number of families in charge of each of the district committees during 1907-08 and 1906-07 is shown in Diagram 5. DIAGRAM 5. Total niiinbor of families under care of each District In the year 10O7-n8. coinpared witli the preceding year. The solid black column is for 1907-08; the shaded one for 1906-U7. There have been certain distinguishing features in the district work in addition to the increase in the number of cases. The character of the increase itself resulted in a greater proportion of two general types of cases, described by one of the district GENERAL WORK 33 committees as "respectable people'' and "those who are never self- supporting." There has been more fresh-air work than usual. There has been apparently a decrease in the need for relief for consumptives in their homes, which may be due to the develop- ments in the work of the tuberculosis clinics, and an increase in the demand for institutional care for consumptives in all stages of the disease. Arrangements have been made in more cases than usual for families to move out of the city, to the country, or back to their European home. Foreign consuls, especially the Italian consul, have been prompt and cordial in providing trans- portation on our request. Corlears District Committee reports that the churches, societies and settlements within its boundaries have given more cordial co-operation than ever before ; and the Riverside Committee, that it has improved its own organization, and has been instrumental in securing the opening of an additional Milk Station by the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, and an additional Diet Kitchen office in the district. The needs mentioned in the reports from the districts are for branches of the Laundry in those parts of the city to which the Charity Organization Society Laundry is not accessible ; more workrooms for women unable to go to the Laundry ; more day nurseries and diet kitchens, and accommodations for consump- tives ; a nursery for school children after school hours (Green- wich) ; a social settlement in the Negro neighborhood in West 134th and 135th Streets (Harlem) ; homes for the aged, dental clinics, and more classes for defective children (Bronx). Cor- lears and Bronx both feel the need for a neighborhood building which shall be to their districts what the United Charities Build- ing is to the social work of the city. The Committee on District Work arranged a conference on the care of families in which there is tuberculosis, which was held on January 13 and well attended. The stafT of the district offices was increased during the winter by the addition of a nurse in Greenwich, Chelsea, Riverside, York- ville, and Harlem, and a second assistant in Chelsea and Bronx.

The salaries of all eight of the nurses who were on the staff of the district offices during the year were supplied by special con- tributions from persons interested in this aspect of the work. On December i an eleventh district office will be opened at 261 West 52d Street. The new district will be called Clinton and its boundaries will be 46th and 53d Streets, Fifth Avenue, and the Hudson River. The southern boundary of Hudson Dis- trict will be moved north to 53d Street; and the boundary be- tween Hudson and Riverside will be 96th Street instead of 72d Street, as it has been. Mrs. John M. Glenn is to be the chairman of Clinton District Committee, and the agent will be Miss Caro- line Goodyear, former agent of Riverside District, who has been on leave of absence during the past year, engaged in a study, as a senior fellow in the School of Philanthropy, of the results of treatment of families by the Charity Organization Society. This district, with a small territory and limited number of fami- lies, will offer opportunities for trying out new ideas and for thoroughly testing methods. It is intended to be of special service to the Field Department for the extension of organized charity and in the fiejd work of the School of Philanthropy. THE. RECEPTION BUREAU The work at the Inquiry Desk has been varied, as usual, and it has been intensified in many lines. There have been the usual inquiries about placing aged persons and cripples, the insane, the incurable, those needing temporary hospital care; about educa- tional work, settlements, tenement house work, playgrounds, va- cation schools, and other activities in New York ; how people who are able to do so can be forced to support needy relatives ; about institutional care for persons living outside the city, frequently in other states ; about reduced rates of transportation. There have been more people asking about employment than ever before and especially capable, earnest women and men who 36 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL have always supported or assisted in the support of their families have been among this number and have also been obliged to seek aid in rent, clothing, fuel and food. Inquiries about the collecting of wages and about loan bureaus have been more frequent. Ad- vice has been sought more frequently in regard to placing women who have become intemperate or addicted to drugs, and there has been an alarming increase in inquiries about placing young girls who have gone astray or are drifting towards a life of crime and degeneracy. There has been an increase, also, in calls from persons finan- cially able to help families in whom they are interested, and will- ing to' give personal service, who come to the Society for help in doing this in the best way. Visitors from other cities, inter- ested in the work of the Society, or coming to the Society for information about other social work in New York, have been more numerous than ever before. THE SPi:CIAL EMPLOYMENT BUREIAU At the close of the year 2353 handicapped applicants had been registered in the Special Employment Bureau and 1161 place- ments had been made since the establishment of the Bureau in April, 1906; 1217 of the applicants were registered, and 711 of the placements were made, during the last year. The average number of placements per month during the year has been 59. Diagram 6 shows, for each month since the Bureau was organized in its present form, the total number of applications, new and recurrent, and the number of placements in steady and in temporary work. Both applications and placements are on a higher level in the last six months. The influence of the indus- trial conditions of the winter is seen in the high proportion of temporary positions among the placements from November to April. The degree of success which has been attained in finding work for these aged and crippled and partially blind and convales- cent, at a time when there were strong and capable men and GENERAL WORK 37 . ^ \ /^^ /or> ^^-"""^ ^^^^^^^^^^ 7^ / 7^ /f DIAGRAM 6 Applications and plappments in the Special Employment Bureau from February, IQ'^T. to St-p^Pi^''^^, 1908. The curve represents applications registered. The total height "f the columu represents the total number of plactmeut3 ; the black portion represents placements in steady work. women idle, is encouraging. The failure of the placements to keep up with the applications, when they increase rapidly, prob- ably means that the limit of expansion with the present office staff has been reached. When more time is consumed in inter- views with applicants in the office there is just so much less time available for|finding positions. There has been an increase in the number of women appli- cants, probably because disabled and old women who in normal times are supported by other members of the family have been obliged to try to find some employment. Partly as a result of this increase in women applicants domestic service has been con- spicuous among the kinds of employment secured. The Commit- tee feels that this is a temporary situation, and does not fear that the Bureau is in any danger of becoming merely an agency for domestic servants. Increasing effort is put forth to make the work of the Bureau constructive and preventive, and to this end systematic co-operation with hospitals and dispensaries is being developed. It is hoped that the Bureau may become a place in which persons suffering from heart disease or from 38 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL any other illness that may become chronic and result in death or total disability, may find occupation suited to their health. An important study was carried on during last year by Miss Eleanor Adler, fellow of the School of Philanthropy, in close co- operation with the Committee on the Special Employment Bureau, into the possibilities of employment for the various types of handi- capped persons in 140 of the factory trades of New York. This study is being carried further during the current year. It has already been of practical value in the work of the Bureau. When completed it will demonstrate the large number of opportunities there are for partly disabled persons to fill niches in the industrial world. It will be equally valuable in directing attention to the trades for which schools and hospitals for crippled children should prepare their wards. By action of the Central Council the income of the legacy of $25,000 from the estate of Olive Wilmot Sanford has been devoted to the work of this Bureau. THE BUREAU OF ADVICE AND INFORMATION At the close of the year there were on file in the Bureau of ! Advice and Information records of 2345 enterprises, of which 255 had been added in the last twelve months. During the year 1674 written reports had been issued, in regard to 541 enterprises, in response to inquiries from 627 diflPerent individuals. Investigations have also been made, and reports issued, in regard to the following subjects: (1) The need for a temporary shelter for girls and women, arraigned in the Night Court ; ^ (2) Facilities for the care and treatment of blind babies; (3) Agencies in Greater New York which provide milk for infants ; (4) Agencies which care for destitute families of prisoners; (5) Fresh-air agencies ; (6) Homes for aged colored people; (7) Rescue Mission work for girls. I i GENERAL WORK 39 Early in November the 128th Confidential Bulletin issued by the Society was published. This, together with the Supplement published in ^larch, contained 382 names. The publication of the New York Charities Directory has been assigned to this Bureau, and work on the nineteenth edition, that for 1909, was begun before the close of the year. At the date of going to press arrangements for the reorgani- zation and very considerable expansion of the Bureau are under way. In this reorganization the Mendicancy Bureau, heretofore conducted under the direction of the Committee on Mendicancy, will be absorbed in the Bureau of Advice and Information. In the absence of effective general co-operation by the Police De- partment it is felt that whatever is done by the Society in this direction should be less in the direct prosecution of individual mendicants and increasingly in the investigation, exposure, and when necessary the prosecution of fraudulent schemes for prey- ing upon the general charitable public. The experience of the Society's chief mendicancy officer will thus be utilized to the great advantage of this side of the work of the Bureau of Advice and Information, while due attention will also be paid to the encouragement of bona -fide enterprises and the better organiza- tion and co-ordination of the charitable activities of the city. CONFERENCES OF SOCIAL WORnURS The Central Auxiliary Committee of Women has con- ducted its usual series of four conferences in the Assembly Hall of the United Charities Building on the third Tuesday morning of January, February, March, and April. The at- tendance last year showed a marked increase, and the dis- cussion was unusually free and spirited. The program of the course was as follows: January 21 : The night courts, Judge Charles S. Whit- man; The protective work of the Travellers' Aid Associa- tion, Miss Grace Dodge ; Reformative influence extended to 40 I REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL young offenders by probation officers, Miss Maude E. Miner. February i8: The promotion of industrial education in the public schools, Prof. Charles R. Richards ; The difficulties encountered when seeking employment for public school graduates, Mrs. P. J. O'Connell. March 17: A state farm colony, discussed by Edmund Kelly, Hon. Robert W. Hebberd, and Homer Folks. April 21 : The power of united effort among religious organizations to improve ethical and social conditions, Rev. Lyman Abbott, D.D.; Educational influences, Charles Sprague Smith ; Recreation and amusement as an essential factor in social betterment, John Collier. THE PE.NNY PROVIDENT FUND The Penny Provident Fund has had smaller figures during the year for the same reason that the other departments of the Society's work have had larger ones. Deposits have been smaller in each month throughout the year, and the accumulated deposits at the end of each month smaller than on the corresponding date of preceding years. Withdrawals were heavier in October, January, and April, than they were in the corresponding months the year before, but the total for the year was less even in the case of with- drawals, no doubt because there was a steadily diminishing reserve to draw upon. The stations at social settlements and others in the poorer parts of the city, have been most affected. The Committee on Provident Habits has changed its fiscal year to coincide with that of the Society and has just issued a report for the period between February i, 1907, and September 30, 1908. During the twenty months there was a net decrease of ten in the number of stations, and a net loss of 22,298 depositors. On October i, 1908, there were 249 stations, about two-thirds of them in Greater New York, and 38,816 depositors. The amount on deposit was $27,- TIIF. M:W wood SlIKI) A COllNEU OF THE WOOD YARD GENERAL WORK 41 749.76, which was about ten thousand dollars less than the amount a year before. THE LAUNDRV The number of days' work performed in the Laundry was slightly larger than it was in 1906-07, 11,984 as compared with 11,530. The Laundry's chief contribution to relieving the un- usual conditions of the winter does not, however, appear in these figures, but in the number of women employed: 401 different women did the work of last year, and of these 244 were **new," that is, practically untrained. This is an increase of 64 per cent in the total number of women helped, and an increase of 55 per cent in the number of untrained women who have been instructed, the number of new women in 1907-08 being exactly the same as the total number of women in 1906-07. (Diagram 7.) DIAGRAM 7. Number of women employed in the Laundry in 1907-08, compared ■with 19U6-U7. The black part of the column represents ''new women." In proportion as the educational character of the Laundry is emphasized the financial difficulties increase. It is not surprising, therefore, that the loss on business, to be made up by contribu- tions, was somewhat greater than it was the year before. 42 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL THE WOOD YARD The Wood Yard was taxed to its utmost possibility of ex- pansion last year. The total number of days' work done was more than two and a half times the number in 1906-07. In February and March it was five times as much, and only in June and July, when the new sheds were being built, was it normal. (Diagram 8.) Late in the winter, when the pressure was greatest, the working day of the staff was lengthened one hour. (TO i ' \ J / N \ \-- \ V Tzrv \ /f07- oT /foi-oy DIAGRAM 8. DayH' work performed iu the Woodyard month by month in 1907-08, coiiipaied with 1906-07. GENERAL WORK 43 Applications began to increase rapidly in October and No- vember. In December it was found necessary to refuse work to men from the Municipal Lodging House ; in January the number of homeless men from the Joint Application Bureau was limited, for the first time since the Bureau was established, in order to give preference to men with families dependent on them ; and the district agents were requested from time to time to select with unusual care the men whom they sent. Of the total number of days' work performed during the year only 28 per cent was done by homeless men ; during the year 1906-07 it was 45 per cent. The stock of cut wood increased so rapidly, on account of the unusual number of workers and the over-stocked condi- tion of the market, that in January the space available for working was seriously encroached upon and the Committee was facing a critical situation. The Harlem Branch of the Wood Yard was reopened in East 127th Street, and all pos- sible efforts were made to increase the sales of wood, but neither of these measures brought appreciable relief. Early in February a contribution of $10,000 was received by the Committee, "for the relief of unemployed men with families." This gift enabled the Committee to dispose of the encumber- ing stock of wood, which was piling up until it bade fair to crowd out the men altogether and thus stop the work of the Wood Yard, by giving it to families under the care of the Society's Districts, and to institutions approved by the Society. Part of a second contribution of $5,000 from the same anonymous donor, received at the end of March, was used for the same purpose. Altogether 7403^ cords of cut wood were distributed in this way, between February i and May 9, at a valuation of $12,348.75 ; 216^ cords of this amount were delivered to 1,004 District families, and the rest, 478^ cords, to 112 institutions. A new two-story iron structure has been erected in place of the old wooden sheds, by a donor whose name is withheld, and the space available for storage purposes and for working 44 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL has thereby been doubled, to the great advantage of the work of the Wood Yard and its beneficiaries. In spite of all this, however, the present winter began with a larger stock of cut wood in the yard than there had ever been before at that season, and if the pressure of applicants should continue the same problems will have to be faced again this winter. the: department for the: improve:me:nt of SOCIAL CONDITIONS The Department for the Improvement of Social Condi- tions has concerned itself chiefly with tuberculosis preven- tion and tenement house reform. One of the most interesting pieces of work of the year has been the attempt to reach the tenement house popula- tion in their homes by the distribution of an attractive colored poster containing advice with regard to consumption and its prevention and treatment. Beginning with the Italians, the Committee has inaugu- rated a plan of house to house visitation — or rather, door to door visitation — in the older Italian quarter of the city, in Mott, Mulberry and Elizabeth streets and neighboring thoroughfares. An Italian agent has gone from house to house, calling on each family, and leaving with it an attrac- tive picture of a scene in Venice, a canal with a palace and its garden in tfie foreground and the Campanile in the dis- tance. The picture is on a poster twenty by twenty-five inches, arranged to be hung on the walls. The Committee believed that a picture of this kind would especially appeal to the Italians, with their love of color, and that it would be one which they would delight in preserving and keeping in sight. Printed with the picture is simple advice with reference to consumption. The picture bears this legend at the top, "A cough may lead to consumption," and then proceeds to give the follow- ing advice: "If you have a cough or cold that hangs on, if you even faintly suspect that your lungs are not strong, do not try to cure yourself. Go to a doctor, or to the nearest tuberculosis clinic, where you will be treated free of charge, if unable to pay." 46 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL The address is given of the clinic for the particular district in which the poster is distributed. At the bottom is a statement that the picture is given with the compliments of the Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the New York Charity Organization Society, with its address. It will be seen that four important results are sought by the distribution of this poster: First : To give an attractive picture in a friendly spirit to large numbers of the Italian tenement population who keenly appreciate all things artistic and who have little opportunity of indulging this taste in their homes„ Second: To give sound advice with regard to the nature of tuberculosis and the best methods of prevention. Third: To refer persons who are sick to a dispensary or clinic in their own neighborhood where they may be treated free of charge. Fourth : To give to the foreign tenement house popula- tion a totally new conception of the importance of ventila- tion and its effect upon health. Many interesting questions have arisen in connection with this work. The first which naturally presents itself is: *Tf this is to be effective among the Italians why is it printed in English?" The Committee originally planned to have the poster printed in Italian. Before doing so, however, it was thought best to consult Italians in the city who have special knowledge of the New York Italian population. Dr. Antonio Stella, one of the leading Italian physicians, said immediately, "Do not print it in Italian. The great majority of adult Italians in New York do not read any language, either Italian or English. On the other hand, most of the children read English and but few of them read Italian. If you want your plan to be successful, print your poster in English. The chil- dren will then read it and translate it for their parents into the particular dialect which the family may speak." Not being willing to rest so important a decision on the DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 47 advice of one person, even though a competent adviser, further advice was sought from an ItaHan priest in the heart of the Italian tenement district. He said : ''Splendid ! But do not print it in Italian. Print it in English." He gave the same reasons that Dr. Stella had given, adding that whenever he had an important notice to give out in his church which he wished to be sure reached the members of his congregation, he always had it printed in English, knowing that the children would take it home and translate it to their parents. To print it in Italian would be throwing away so much money. There is no question about the effectiveness of the posters. The work of distribution has been carried on by an Italian- born young woman employed by the Committee, who speaks fluently both Italian and English. She had been treated for tuberculosis at Stony Wold Sanatorium and discharged not many months before. This materially added to her usefulness. Knocking upon the door of each apartment and entering, she has offered the poster, explaining in Italian that it is a gift from the Charity Organization Society and that it is in- tended to prevent consumption, explaining what consump- tion is, that it is preventable and curable, and generally con- cluding with a few suggestions as to the importance of keep- ing the windov/s open both day and night. After a few days* experience we abandoned saying that the poster was a gift but adopted the happy expedient, suggested by Dr. Stella, of calling it a "manifest." This had a familiar sound to the Italians, because of official promulgations which they had frequently received from the government in the old country. The majority of the Italians have been delighted with the poster, and many of them have been unable to understand the kindness which had prompted strangers to give them something so attractive. The idea that consumption is not hereditary is to most of them totally new ; that it can be prevented is equally novel. Our agent has found the windows shut in most of the REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL homes she has visited, even v^hen the room was filled with Italian women working on garments. Upon advising them to open the windows, and explaining that the way to keep from getting consumption is to have plenty of fresh air both night and day, the women have replied that they would catch cold, and they have seemed horrified at the thought of open- ing their windows at night, explaining that "the night air would surely bring illness." That the Italian peasant living in a New York tenement should still believe in the danger of the "night air" is not surprising when we consider how this belief has been inculcated in them for generations, especially in districts where the night air is indeed a menace because of the mosquitoes carrying with them malaria and fevers of various kinds. In the houses occupied chiefly by Sicilians the experiences have been somewhat different. Here the poster is some- times regarded with suspicion and superstition. In one case a woman declined to receive it, saying it would bring disease if it were hung upon the walls. As the work of distribution has progressed, the wnole neigh- borhood has gradually become informed about it, so that to-day our agent finds as she approaches a tenement house a crowd of people lined up awaiting her, eager to receive the picture and talking about it and all it means. Even the children follow her from house to house repeating with delight what they have heard her say to the families she has visited and running ahead to tell their own families about her and about the pictures that are coming. At the time of writing this report the work of distribution is still going on. Ten thousand copies will be distributed before I the work is completed, and each Italian family in the district J will have one of the posters. The cost of the posters is about | four cents each, and the cost of distribution thirteen dollars a week. It will probably take from six to eight weeks to do the work, making the total cost in round figures five hundred dol- DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 49 lars for printing and distributing the 10,000 pictures. If the committee's funds warrant, a similar distribution will be made later on in ''Little Italy" further uptown, and among the Rus- sians, Bohemians and Negroes. The campaign for the prevention of tuberculosis is neces- sarily a campaign against spitting. It is also, however, a cam- paign for adequate ventilation — ventilation not only in the homes of the people, but in work-shops, factories, department stores, public conveyances, theatres, churches, synagogues and other places of public assemblage. In addition to the unique plan already described, the com- mittee has carried on its campaign of education through the usual channels employed in previous years, but on a larger scale and with a wider sphere of influence. THE. REORGANIZED TRAVELING EXHIBIT The Traveling Exhibit is one of the most potent methods of educating the community with regard to tuberculosis. In previous years the exhibit has been shown chiefly in social settlements, churthes, synagogues, public libraries and similar places. During the present year a new idea has been developed, namely, that of showing the exhibit in vacant stores on crowded thoroughfares. This experiment has been so great a success that during the coming year the exhibit will probably be shown entirely in such localities. During a six weeks' stay in one place this year it w^as viewed by 150,000 people, representing all classes of the community. If the Traveling Exhibit is an important educational factor, the method of its organization and display is of great impor- tance. During the year a thorough reorganization of the exhibit has been had, so that the present exhibit is practically a new one. It is now arranged in five main groups, or classes: I. Where Tuberculosis Breeds; II. How Tuberculosis is Spread; 50 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL III. The Extent of the Disease; IV. How Tuberculosis is Cured;. V. How Tuberculosis is Prevented. All the pictures are of uniform size, 14 by 17 inches, large enough to be readily seen. They are bromide enlargements, with one style of finish, and all are mounted on black with black frames of uniform size and style. Only one picture is shown in each frame. The effect of this uniform treatment is to make the subject of the picture the chief feature and to concentrate upon it the attention of the observer. Heretofore, one exhibit was likely to receive closer attention than another, because the photograph shown happened to be of a larger size, thus to a certain extent defeating the purpose of the exhibit. A uniform method of labelling has also been adopted — clear, Roman letters, in white on a black background — giving simplicity, clearness and terseness of expression. A new and improved method of mount- ing the photographs has been adopted. Through this standardization a far better and more perma- nent method of arrangement has been made possible. Each one of the five main divisions of the exhibit constitutes a class by itself, and each vertical stack of photographs constitutes a unit. The photographs are hung one above another so that they will be not more than four photographs in height. At the top is always placed a sign or motto describing the pictures beneath, thus bringing the photographs near the level of the eye. By this means a harmonious effect of uniform top and bottom lines of the whole exhibit is produced. Each exhibit also has its perma- nent record number making it easy to adapt the exhibit to vary- ing wall spaces found in different locations, and saving a great deal of time and energy heretofore expended in unnecessary re- arrangement of the exhibit. A unique method of hanging the pictures has been devised by which there are no projecting hooks to scratch the other pictures or to break off. In the top and bottom of each frame a slot has been cut through which a pin is driven and into this pin are fastened detachable hooks especially designed for the purpose.. DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 5 1 The top picture is in each case hung from the picture-molding by hooks especially designed to fit into picture hooks, and the lower pictures are suspended each from the one immediately above it. By this means uniformity of spacing between the pictures is secured and the necessity of measuring and laying out the exhibit each time it is moved from place to place is obviated. The transportation of an exhibit is a serious problem, com- prising as it does photographs, models, glass jars containing pathological specimens in alcohol, feather dusters, sputum cups. The usual method is to ship them in rough packing cases of pine, made for the purpose. This method has caused serious damage to the pictures and has also been inconvenient. The photo- graphs, which constitute the main portion of the exhibit, are now packed in trunks, each one holding thirty framed pictures in thirty compartments. Each picture is filed in its proper com- partment. By this means not only are the pictures preserved from unnecessary wear and tear, but it is possible, in arranging the exhibit in different places, to omit pictures which cannot be hung because of lack of space. The greatest advantage of the trunks is the saving of time and labor in putting up and taking down the exhibit. It can be done in less than one day. In addi- tion, there are ffo longer any unsightly packing boxes to store during the exhibit, which heretofore has been a serious problem. Similar trunks have been made to take care of models and patho- logical specimens ; glass cases have been placed over the models, and model and case together are shipped in their special trunks. The reorganized exhibit has been one of the important fea- tures in the marvelous exhibition held in connection with the International Congress on Tuberculosis at Washington. The Committee was awarded the highest prize as having furnished the best evidence of effective work by a voluntary association in the prevention of tuberculosis, sharing this honor with the Woman's National Health Association of Ireland. Requests for photographs of the exhibit were made by nearly one hundred different people from all parts of the world — from even so far 52 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL away as India and China — and many important tuberculosis agencies in this country have asked for copies of portions of it. During the year the exhibit has been shown at the James- town Exhibition, in a store on Twenty-third Street, at the exhibi- tion of Congestion of Population, at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, in a store on Fourth Avenue, in the Catholic Cathedral, in a public library and at the International Congress on Tuberculosis at Washington. The total attendance at the exhibit during the year has been about half a million people. LECTURES AND PUBLICATIONS One of the important features of the Committee's educational work is the series of popular lectures carried on under its auspices through the winter months of each year. During eight months of the current year, from October i to June I, 224 lectures have been given to audiences of 78,640 people. The lectures have been given in English, Yiddish, Italian, Bohemian, Swedish, French and German. They have been given largely in tenement districts before meetings of labor unions, at social settlements, churches, synagogues, young men's associations, public schools, public libraries, factories, mothers' meetings, trade schools, chari- table institutions ; in fact, before almost every kind of audience. They are given almost entirely by physicians. The Committee organizes the course, arranges the places of meeting, supplies the lantern and lantern slides and pays the expenses of the stereopticon and operator. The Committee has continued throughout the year the print- ing of maxims of advice on the backs of street car transfers in Manhattan and the Bronx. During the year about fifty million of these have been circulated. It has also distributed through the year about a quarter of a million circulars with reference to tuberculosis and the precautions to be taken with regard to it — the so-called "Don't Card" of the Committee. This distribution has been made through labor unions, factories, department stores, DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 53 settlements, churches, public schools and in connection with the traveling exhibit. The cards are printed in English, German, Bohemian, Italian and Yiddish. The plan originated by the Committee in 1907 of sending out a weekly bulletin of news in regard to tuberculosis and related subjects to the daily, weekly and monthly papers throughout the state was continued through the first three months of the fiscal year, but on January i was handed over to the Tuberculosis Committee of the State Chari- ties Aid Association, which was then organized to occupy the field in New York state outside of New York City and Buffalo. The Committee has distributed various publications besides the "Don't Card." Among these have been a report on Bovine Tuberculosis, of which 1,000 copies were distributed; a report on Home Treatment of Tuberculosis in New York City, of which 6,000 have been distributed ; a leaflet describing the work of the Committee, of which 10,000 copies were distributed; the poster, of which 5,000 copies have thus far been distributed; a history of the Committee's work since its formation in 1902, of which 1,000 copies are now in process of distribution, and a summary of the Committee's accomplishments during this period, 10,000 copies of which were distributed at the International Congress on Tuberculosis in Washington. 9 THE CARE OF CONSUMPTIVES IN NEW YORK. The Committee has given much attention to the question of adequate facilities for the treatment of poor consumptives in this city. During the winter it m.ade a special investigation of conditions in the Tuberculosis Infirmary, at the Metropolitan Hospital, on Blackwell's Island, and discovered that intolerable overcrowding then existed; that 430 patients were being housed in a space which normally accommodated 180, and that this situa- tion had existed for several months. Photographs were taken of these conditions and the whole matter presented to the Mayor in the following formal communication: 54 *- REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL March 30, 1908. Hon. George B. McClellan, Mayor, City of New York. "Sir. — The members of this Committee, identified, as you will recognize, with the development of municipal and private control of tuberculosis, both in their private and public ca- pacity, having made a careful study of the city's facilities for caring for its tuberculous poor, and recognizing the in- adequacy of present hospital accommodations for this class of dependent sick, have appointed a special committee to bring this matter to your attention. There are directly under the city's control four hospitals with facilities for treating tuberculosis patients. Two of these are under the control of the Health Department and two under the control of the Department of Public Charities. Three other tuberculosis hospitals, under private control, are subsidized by this city, through the last named department, to care for the tuberculous sick at the city's expense. Thus we have a total of seven hospitals designed for the care of tuberculous patients and practically under the city's control. With the exception of Otisviile Sanatorium, designed for the treatment of early cases of tuberculosis, these hospitals rep- resent a total of about one thousand, seven hundred and five (1,705) beds available for persons suffering with advanced or moderately advanced tuberculosis. Under date of December 21st, 1906, we transmitted to the Hon. Edward M. Grout, Chairman, Hospital Commission of the City of New York, an extended report of the hospital situation with reference to the care of persons suffering with tuberculosis. In this report, based upon a careful and actual count of all the living cases of tuberculosis registered at the Health Department, a careful analysis of the number of tuberculosis patients treated in the city's hospitals for the two years and a half preceding, and a study of the work of the special tuberculosis clinics of the city, we made a con- servative estimate that about two thousand, seven hundred and thirty-four (2,734) beds were then needed in Manhattan to provide adequate accommodations for those suffering with tuberculosis seeking hospital care. Assuming that this esti- mate is fairly accurate, a difference between the demand and the actual facilities of one thousand and twenty-nine (1,029) DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 55 beds, or 37 per cent, presupposes that either many who wish hospital care are unable to obtain it for lack of accommoda- tions, or that those who are treated in hospitals are fright- fully crowded. The former is probably true to a consider- able degree ; the latter is unquestionably true to a lamentable extent. Intolerable overcrowding in the Tuberculosis Infirmary of the Metropolitan Hospital is now conspicuously apparent. For example, a reasonable estimate made by Dr. Walter Sands Mills, Attending Physician at the Tuberculosis In- firmary, places the normal capacity of the male ward of this infirmary at one hundred and eighty (180) beds. On January i6th, when investigated by our Committee, four hundred and thirty (430) patients were being housed in this single build- ing; that is 138 per cent more than the wards were designed to accommodate. Such a situation is deplorable and has ex- isted for many months, as the records will show. Over- crowding to some extent prevails in every ward, tent and pavilion in the infirmar}^ On the other hand, in the private hospitals subsidized by the city there is little, if any, over- crowding. These hospitals have a limited number of beds set aside for public charges and when they are filled others are not admitted and it consequently happens that during the larger part of the year there are waiting lists for these institutions. New Y9rk has been foremost in its vigorous and energetic campaign, both municipal and private, against the ravages of tuberculosis and we are confident that the present emer- gency can and will be met, despite the financial depression from which the city is suflFering. The increasing knowledge of the communicable nature of the disease, adds steadily to the number of those who are willing to endure the separation and isolation of institutional life in order to remove the danger of infection to their relatives and friends. The de- mand for hospital care is, we believe, on the increase. Be that as it may, the present situation, it appears to us, demands careful consideration and the immediate appropriation of funds for the relief of the congested, unsanitary and deplorable conditions now obtaining in the city's largest tuberculosis hospital. In the year 1907 there were ten thousand two hundred and sixty-two (10,262) deaths from tuberculosis in this city. 56 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL There are to-day to the knowledge of the authorities thirty- thousand (30,000) tuberculous sick living in the tenement houses and spreading this disease, infecting well persons, and thus greatly decreasing the possibilities of stamping out the disease and seriously increasing the ultimate burden to the city of meeting it. The proper care of these cases is in hos- pitals and sanatoria. It is useless, however, for us and for the physicians connected with the tuberculosis clinics in this city to urge patients to go to hospitals and sanatoria when there is no place for them in those hospitals, or when they are housed and cared for under conditions which are little better than the conditions in the tenement houses from which they are removed. We would respectfully request that you appoint a day on which this Committee may confer with you in regard to this important matter to see what steps can be taken by the city to remedy the present situation. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) Edgar J. Levey, Chairman." Later the Committee waited upon the Mayor and urged him to use every means to remedy this situation. Shortly thereafter additional appropriations were made to enable the Department of Public Charities to provide additional accommodations, but it is in this particular direction that our most important work in the immediate future lies. The experiment undertaken by the Committee during 1906 and 1907 of treating poor consumptives in their tenement homes, and the administration of a special relief fund of $33,496.40 raised for this purpose, was brought to a successful close about the beginning of the present fiscal year. The results of this experiment have been carefully formulated during the year in a report of forty-eight printed pages published early in the win- ter. This report presented for the first time the possibilities involved in the home treatment of the tuberculous sick in New York's crowded tenements. Six thousand copies of the report were distributed; 2,500 copies were sent to leading physicians DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 57 in Manhattan and the Bronx, and the rest to leading social v/orkers, the members of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, members of various anti-tuber- culosis associations and committees throughout the United States, and to leading physicians and officers of tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria in this state. The report sets forth in considerable detail the results accomplished, during a period of nearly two years, in treating poor consumptives in their homes. TUBERCULOSIS AMONG WORI\INGMEN Very naturally and properly, the main emphasis has been placed upon the home conditions affecting tuberculosis. Increas- ingly, however, the importance of the conditions under which peo- ple work is being recognized. Under the direction of a competent physician, the Committee has carried on a thorough inquiry into the physical condition of a given number of workers in one industry, namely, the printing trade. Through co-operation with the Tuberculosis Committee of Typographical Union No. 6 — the leading printers' union — arrangements were made for the physical examination of over two hundred non-selected members of this union for the#purpose of discovering the extent to which tuber- culosis existed among them and the relation of the disease to the conditions under which printers work. A similar inquiry has been carried on with a number of workers in the tobacco trade, and the results of these two investigations are now being formulated and will soon be published. BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS A very important investigation has been made during the year under the auspices of the Committee with regard to the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in this state. Prof. Veranus A. Moore, of Cornell Agricultural College, an eminent au- thority on this subject, was employed by the Committee joint- 5S REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL ly with the Milk Committee of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, to make a thorough inquiry into this matter. The inquiry was completed during the year and Dr. Moore's report published and a thousand copies dis- tributed among farmers, cattle raisers and others who should be interested. It has attracted widespread attention and has been of great value in educating the community with reference to this disease. The report contains a study of the distribu- tion and extent of bovine tuberculosis and the peculiar con- ditions which exist in New York state; a brief statement of the economic and sanitary problems connected with the dis- ease; the attitude of the farmers and cattle raisers towards its eradication ; a summary of the laws in this and other states and certain definite legislative recommendations. Working through a joint committee composed of members of the Tuberculosis Committee, the Milk Committee of the Associ- ation for Improving the Condition of the Poor, and later the Tuberculosis Committee of the State Charities Aid Associa- tion, the Committee formulated a carefully drawn bill for the regulation of bovine tuberculosis and took the lead in an active campaign for legislation seeking to remedy the condi- tions disclosed by Dr. Moore's report. The bill prepared by this joint committee served as a basis for important legisla- tion enacted at the 1908 session of the Legislature, and the Committee took an active part in organizing conferences of legislative leaders, farmers, dairymen, cattle breeders, and the various other interests involved in this important sub- ject. The amendment to the agricultural laws of the state which was adopted by the Legislature marks a distinct ad- vance in the treatment of bovine tuberculosis in this country. TE-NEMENT HOUSi: REFORM The work of the Tenement House Committee during the past year has been, in the main, as in previous years, along the lines of the prevention of legislation that would weaken DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 59 the provisions of the present Tenement House Laws and the securing of legislation necessary to their improvement. Not only has it been necessary at each session of the Leg- islature since the enactment of this statute seven years ago, to withstand numerous attacks upon its provisions — all of which have been successfully withstood — but in other insidi- ous ways efforts have been made to undermine its provisions. One of the cleverest schemes of this kind has been recent- ly carried out chiefly in the boroughs of Queens and Brook- lyn. Here for a year past certain architects and builders have hit upon a device by which they have been able for a time to set aside the main provisions of the law requiring that all rooms in new tenement houses shall have windows to the outer air, thus ensuring adequate light and ventilation. Their method has been as follows: Plans have been filed for new tenement houses (as shown in the accompanying plan No. i) with two families on each floor, one on each side of the public hallway. Each flat con- sists of but two rooms, a "parlor" and a "kitchen." The "parlor" is a long room, twenty-eight feet long, seven and one-half feet wide for about one-half of its length and nine and one-half feet wide in the remaining portion. The "kitchen" is a similar 'long room, thirty-four feet long, seven and one-half feet for one-half of its length and eleven and one-half feet wide for the other half. Opening from the "kitchen" is a bathroom. There are no bedrooms. On the opposite side of the public hallway is an exactly similar flat of "two rooms" intended for occupancy by a separate family. Anyone familiar with tenement house conditions realizes at once that there is something peculiar about this plan ; that it is not a bona fide apartment; that builders are not making kitchens thirty- four feet long and eleven and one-half feet wide; that such kitchens are a great deal larger than need be — in fact, twice as large as is customary; that the parlors, too, are twice as large as is customary or necessary. The question that nat- 6o REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL urally occurs is: "Of what use is a tenement without any bedrooms? Where are the people going to sleep?" Those familiar with the tricks and devices that are practiced by some tenement house builders and architects are led to believe that it is evidently intended after the house is erected to sub- divide both the ''parlor" and the "kitchen" by the erection of partitions or curtains, creating behind each of these rooms bedrooms seven and one-half feet wide and thirteen feet long. These bedrooms unfortunately thus become dark interior bed- rooms without light or ventilation, defeating the main pur- pose of the Tenement House Act. That this is not a theoretical view and that the persons hold- ing it are not too suspicious is borne out by the experience in Brooklyn and Queens, where building after building of this kind has been erected. After the building is completed a kitchen "wardrobe" or "dresser" is erected in each kitchen,, subdividing the kitchen into two rooms. Each "parlor" is similarly subdivided with grill work, a curtain pole erected and a portiere stretched across. Two dark bedrooms in each flat are thus created, — as shown in plan No. 2. So well thought out has been this scheme to beat the law that in some houses the owners have even gone to the extent of hinging the wardrobes so that, when confronted by the officials of the Tenement House Department, they may be able to swing the "wardrobe" back against the kitchen wall and say: "This is not an alteration to the building, but merely a piece of fur- niture which we can move from place to place," adding, "There is nothing in the law to prevent the use of furniture." The conditions resulting from this situation are compli- cated by the fact that the great mass of tenement houses in New York city are built on speculation and when completed are sold to innocent purchasers. The purchaser finding that the builder has a certificate from the Tenement House De- partment that the building has been built according to law and in accordance with the plans (such certificate having DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 6l been granted before any partition, wardrobe or curtain has been erected) and finding the wardrobe and curtains in place and a family occupying each apartment as four separate rooms, naturally assumes that everything is all right and does not hesitate to purchase the property. The Tenement House Department having made a final inspection of the building and issued a certificate naturally has nothing to call to its attention the fact that these changes have been made after PLAN No. 1. PLAN No. 2. 6a REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL the building has been completed. The force of inspectors is of course totally inadequate to enable the department to in- spect a newly finished tenement house one month after it is completed and to keep inspecting it each succeeding month. Nothing short of an army of men would be needed to carry on such frequent inspections in New York's 100,000 tenement houses ; nor should such inspections be necessary. In addition to this method of constructing exceptionally large rooms and later subdividing them, the same builders and architects claim that the inner portions of these rooms are in the nature of alcoves and that they have the right to construct a room with an alcove in it; that there is nothing in the law which forbids it. The law provides that "alcove rooms must conform to all the requirements of other rooms," which had seemed to the framers of the law sufficiently compre- hensive and explicit to ensure the proper lighting and ventilation of such rooms and their construction of a proper size. Owing to the refusal of Tenement House Commissioner Butler to approve plans of this type, which had seemed to him obviously intended to nullify the provisions of the law, there have been several cases during the past year in which proceedings have been instituted in various branches of the Supreme Court to compel the tenement house commissioner to approve this type of plan. Various conflicting decisions have been rendered by different judges. The latest and most important one was the decision of Judge Gaynor, in which he held that the department was in error and that such plans must be approved; that it had not been the intent of the Leg- islature to require alcoves to be separately lighted and ven- tilated to the outer air; that the provisions of the Tenement House Act above referred to did not relate to alcoves but to alcove rooms ; that an alcove was a portion of a room, where- as an alcove room was a separate room in itself. For a period of several months, consequently, owing to this court DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 63 decision, it has been possible for builders to construct this type of structure, and the Tenement House Department has been powerless to prevent it. Recognizing the great importance of preventing any such manifest evasion of the law^, w^ith the co-operation of Tene- ment House Commissioner Butler the Tenement House Com- mittee prepared amendments to the Tenement House Act which it is believed will put an end to this practice. These amend- ments were included in a bill amending the law in other par- ticulars and introduced toward the close of the present ses- sion. The passage of this measure by the Legislature was secured and the bill was signed by Governor Hughes. It is now a law. The amendment clears up any doubt that there may have been with reference to the distinction between alcoves and alcove rooms and makes plain that an alcove in any room in a tenement house hereafter erected shall be separately lighted and ventilated with windows to the outer air and shall not be less than seventy square feet in area, the minimum size provided for all rooms. It also provides that no part of any room in such a tenement house shall at any time be enclosed or subdivide^ wholly or in part by a curtain, portiere, fixed or movable partition or other contrivance or device, unless the portion of the room so enclosed shall contain a window to the outer air and a floor area of not less than seventy square feet. This amendment in no sense prohibits the alcove treatment of rooms. It does, however, prohibit dark alcoves and provides that all alcoves shall have windows to the outer air and be of a proper size It is believed that by this change in the law an end has been put to the organized scheme of evading its essential provisions which has been so successfully carried on in the bor- oughs of Brooklyn and Queens during the past year, and that the "curtain flat," as this type of building had come to be called, will no longer exist. 64 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL That it should be necessary in the year 1908, seven years after the passage of the Tenement House Act and notwith- standing the care of the framers of that law to provide against such contingencies, to make active effort to prevent the con- struction of dark rooms in new tenement houses, to prevent practically a recurrence to the discredited type of building of sixty years ago, is one more illustration of the importance of continuity and permanency in all effort for housing reform in every community. During the year the Committee has had to oppose various bills introduced in the Legislature seeking to weaken the Tenement House Law. As in past years all of these have been successfully defeated. One of them would have with- drawn from the scope of the Tenement House Act and the jurisdiction of the Tenement House Department a large num- ber of the three-family houses of the city, of which in 1900 there were nearly 23,000, occupied by about 68,000 families, or approximately 338,000 persons. It would have meant that these could have been left without water supply in the build- ing, with unlawful basement living and sleeping rooms, with- out proper fire protection and with the tenants subjected to the close proximity of prostitutes in the same building. In a word, they would have lost all of the safeguards to life, health and decency which the Tenement House Law now provides. Another bill would have created a Board of Appeal with power to modify and set aside all of the provisions of the Tenement House Act that require changes or alterations in existing buildings. Such a measure, if enacted, would have practically nullified the important provisions of the present law which require improvements in the old buildings, includ- ing the cutting in of windows in dark rooms, the letting of light into dark hallways and the removal of foul privies and privy sinks and the substitution of proper sanitary conveni- ences. A third bill would have permitted the use for living DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 65 and sleeping purposes of dark, damp, unventilated interior rooms in the cellars of tenement houses. A fourth measure would have allowed the use of bakeries in the cellars of tene- ment houses under conditions that would have been a serious menace to the safety of the families living in the building. As a means of determining the degree of rapidity with which the Tenement House Department was securing the enforcement of the law, in the way of structural improvement of the old houses, i. e., the letting of light in dark rooms and halls, the removal of antiquated privy sinks and similar changes, an investigation was made of each house in the so- called *'Lung Block", namely, the block bounded by Cherry, Hamilton, Market and Catharine Streets. The investigation disclosed a condition which was extremely satisfactory, prac- tically all the changes required by law having been made in this formerly notorious section of the city. The Tenement House Committee has been responsible for the direction and planning of the housing investigation in Pittsburgh carried on as part of the general social inquiry known as the Pittsburgh Survey. Personal reviews of the field have been made by the Director of the Department for the Improvement of Social Conditions and the Secretary of the Committee, and the inquiry has been carried on by a special investigator, temporaril}^ detailed from the service of the Committee. As a result of this investigation and of the campaign carried on by the Pittsburgh Survey, the Chamber of Commerce, the Bureau of Health, Kingsley House and others, very satisfactory results have been accomplished. The appropriation for the work of the local Bureau of Health has been largely increased, additional inspectors have been ap- pointed, a better system of office records has been introduced, a tenement house census has been made and other improve- ments have been brought about. One of the prominent steel companies in Pittsburgh, we are informed, is planning and ^ >- REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL has already begun work on improvements as a result of facts brought out by this investigation. A special investigation in co-operation w^ith the Tenement House Commissioner and the Commissioner of Labor has been made of a number of tenement house bakeries in New York city, primarily for the purpose of collecting definite and conclusive evidence as to existing conditions for use in op- posing objectionable bills amending the Tenement House Law with reference to bakeries. The enforcement of the Tenement House Law in this city has been closely watched. During the years 1906-1907 there has been a great improvement in the progress of the structural changes required by law in the old houses. In 1907 over 13,000 dark rooms were provided with windows as the result of the Tenement House Department's work. In all, about 25,000 rooms have been provided with windows to ad- joining rooms up to January i, 1908, while over 300,000 rooms are still without such prov'sion. A campaign to secure the rapid completion of the structural improvements is urgently needed and work to this end has already been instituted by the Committee. The Committee has also kept in touch with the development of new tenement building in this city. The extent of new building operations since the passage of the law has been extraordinary. Accommodations for over one million persons have been provided in new law tenements since the passage of the Tenement House Act in 1900. This means that the Act has secured for one-quarter of the entire population of the city living accommodations in houses that are equal to the "model" tenements in the essential particu- lars of adequate light and ventilation, proper sanitary con- veniences, reasonable protection against fire and opportunities for privacy. The Committee has also carried on a large amount of educational work. This year for the first time a series of •fisits has been organized to typical tenement houses, illus- DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 67 trating old and new conditions. By this means at various times a considerable number of persons have been shown con- ditions illustrating the housing problems of the city. Some of these were delegates to the Conference held in connection with the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of this Society, others were members of the School of Philanthropy, and others per- sons from other cities in this country and abroad interested in profiting by the experience of New York. The visitors are taken in small groups, and a summary embodying the facts is given to them. Lectures on housing have been delivered before the Good Citizenship League of Flushing, at the Elmhurst High School, and at the Corona High School. As a result of the address given in Flushing, the Good Citizenship League at once planned the organization of a Tenement House Committee for work in Flushing. A short address on Tenement House Legislation was also given before the Woman's Municipal League of New York and a lecture on Tenement Improve- ment at the Church of the Ascension. In connection with the Congestion Exhibit held in the American Museum of Natural History, March 9-29, and later continued in Brooklyn at the Institute of Arts and Sciences building, the 'Tenement House Committee in co-operation with the Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis pre- pared a general exhibit, including a considerable amount of material relating to the Tenement House problem. Models of a block of existing tenement houses, a block of typical dumb-bell tenements, a block of new-law tenements, a dark bedroom and a light bedroom were shown ; also a large num- ber of photographs of housing conditions and typical scenes in tenement districts and a variety of charts, diagrams and maps. The Exhibit was seen by practically all the thousands of persons who visited the exhibition. The Committee printed and distributed at the Exhibit 10.000 copies each of two folders : ''Three Tenement Blocks"' 1 68 " REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL and "The Tenement House Committee and Its Work" con- taining information regarding progress in tenement reform. The Committee also printed for distribution, independently of the Congestion Exhibit, i,ooo copies of a map showing the location of new-law tenements constructed in the Borough of Manhattan. Work has been begun upon the preparation of a perma- nent tenement house exhibition which, when completed, will be open in our offices during business hours. During the year housing articles and notes have been writ- ten or edited for Charities and The Commons, and a large amount of material has been furnished for newspaper and magazine articles and for lectures on tenement conditions. A letter and question blank, asking suggestions as to changes in existing tenement laws and other recommendations for further progress in tenement house reform, have been sent out to 481 persons, from whom a number of replies have been tabulated and taken under consideration. A circular for tenement dwellers, containing a summary of important provisions of the Tenement House Law and other information of use, has been prepared for distribution on request. The Tenement House Committee has served throughout the entire period as a bureau of information upon tenement house matters. Personal consultations and letters of inquiry have been very frequent. Information has been supplied on organization of committees and societies for tenement im- provement, on tenement legislation as adapted to various cities, on inventions and improvements suggested for better- ing living conditions in tenement houses, in regard to housing bills introduced in the Legislature, and a great variety of other matters. The Committee has been consulted in regard to nearly every movement for improved housing throughout the country, and it has been in active co-operation with work for housing betterment carried on in Pittsburgh, in Boston, in. DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 69 Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Baltimore, and in such smaller cities as Brockton, Massachusetts, Englewood, New- Jersey. The widespread interest in housing improvement throughout the country is most encouraging. In almost every state in the union housing and sanitar}^ reform is under considera- tion by one or more communities. One of the most important pieces of work done by the Committee during the year has been the active campaign carried on to secure for the Tenement House Department an increased appropriation for the year 1909, sufficient to enable it to carry out the more important provisions of the Tenement House Law which are now neglected owing to lack of funds. The Committee has carried on a campaign to bring home to the members of the community the importance of the work that still needs to be done by the Tenement House De- partment, and has made evident to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment the needs of the Department in this re- gard. In this connection an elaborate exhibit was prepared by the Committee and shown at the Budget Exhibit, organ- ized by the Taxpayers' Conference and Bureau of Municipal Research and held at the close of the present fiscal year. This exhibit was pjjepared to show the reasons in detail for the necessary increases in the appropriation of the Tenement House Department. Tenement House Commissioner Butler had requested of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment an increase of $184,000. The reasons for this increase were fully set forth by the Committee with photographs, models and charts showing the uses to which the money was to be put. Of this amount $64,000 was to be devoted to enabling the Department to compel owmers to get rid more rapidly of the dark interior bedrooms and privy sinks and to make the other structural improvements necessary in the older houses. Ninety-five thousand one hundred dollars was requested to enable the Department to make a complete san- itary inspection twice a year in tenement houses where the REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL average rental for the apartment is $25 a month or less, and the remainder of the appropriation was for desirable salary in- creases and supplies. As a result of the campaign all but $15,100 of the increase asked for was appropriated, making an increase of $169,000 over the amount allowed for the preceding year. INVESTIGATION OF CRIMINAL COURTS One of the important pieces of work which the department has done during the year has been in connection with the administration of justice in the inferior criminal courts. Under the leadership of this department, in co-operation with one other organization, viz. : the Committee of Fourteen on the Raines Law Hotels, a movement has been set on foot for the thorough investigation and study of the conditions which pre- vail in the so-called ''Police Courts" and the Court of Special Sessions, not only in the city of New York but in Buffalo and Rochester as well. These courts stand to the poor peo- ple, and especially the large mass of the immigrant popula- tion, not only as the visible manifestation of justice in Amer- ica, but indeed, as American institutions. It is from their contact with them and with the police that our tenement population obtain their main concepts as to what American government is. The magnitude of the problems involved may be appreciated when it is known that during the year 1907 the number of arraignments in all the Magistrates' Courts, including those brought before the Court of Special Sessions in the first division alone, namely, Manhattan and the Bronx, was 149494. Owing to the lack of a proper system of records the action of the magistrates is determined at the present day largely by the memory or personal recollection of the officer upon the bridge or the probation officer in court, as to the previous record of the offender. The possibilities for oppression, error and corruption that are afforded by such a method are too obvious to need comment. As a result of this defect alone DEPARTMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 7I our present system of treating minor offenders is little better than a farce. Women of the street are arrested, arraigned, fined and discharged, rearrested and again fined, and this course repeated endlessly throughout the year. Old offenders are one week sent to the Workhouse by one magistrate and two weeks later, in the same court, rearrested for a similar offense, are then put on probation ; perhaps a week later are again arrested and this time either fined or discharged. There is no proper system at the present time of classifying offenses for which people are arraigned. Most of the women arrested for soliciting or street walking are arraigned under the charge of disorderly conduct, which is the same charge on which a man is arrested for creating a disturbance in the streets. The result is that the statistics of these courts do not disclose the facts. In addition, the system of record keeping is so im- perfect that it is not possible to tell how many different indi- viduals are arraigned during the year. All that is known is the total number of arraignments and many of the persons rep- resented may have been arraigned a great many times. A bill authorizing the appointment of a commission to make a thorough study of this whole subject, the methods of procedure, the system of records, the condition of the court houses, and afl other matters bearing on the subject, was prepared on behalf of the Society and introduced in the Legis- lature and passed. As originally introduced the commission was to be a commission of citizens appointed by the Governor. The bill was, however, amended in the Legislature so as to provide that the commission should be composed of three members of the Assembly appointed by the Speaker ; two senators appointed by the president pro tem. of the Senate; and two citizens appointed by the Governor. Shortly after the adjournment of the Legislature these appointments were made by the Speaker and the president pro tem. of the Senate respectively, and the Governor subsequently made his appoint- ments. THE nb:w yorh school of philanthropy The work of the School, conducted under the general super- vision of the Committee on Philanthropic Education and the per- sonal direction of Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay, may be con- sidered in three divisions: (i) The School proper or the Depart- ment of Instruction; (2) The Bureau of Social Research on the Russell Sage Foundation; (3) The Public Sociological Library. THE di:pu^.rtme:nt or instruction The School has had the most successful year in its history both with respect to the number of students enrolled and to the scope and character of the work they have done. The purpose of the School is to fit men and women for social service in either professional or volunteer work. Two sessions were held during the fiscal year. The winter session of eight months began September 28, 1907, and closed May 29, 1908, being divided into two terms of four months each. In each term there were fifteen weeks of lectures, with an average of twelve per week or approximately 180 lectures per term, followed by one week at the close of each term devoted to written examinations.

Forty-one students were enrolled for the full work of the year, twenty-six of this number being regular students who were either college graduates or had had the equivalent of a high school education and considerable experience (in every case over one year) in professional social work. The other fifteen were special students whose entrance qualifications were deficient. Twenty additional students were enrolled as auditors taking part or all of the courses but not candidates for either the diploma or the certificate of the School. These sixty-one students (47 women and 14 men) came from forty-one cities or towns, and repre- sented fifteen states, Canada and England. Twenty-four were college graduates and nine others had had college training; twenty-three had had previous experience in social work. With the exception of a few individual cases where previous work of a similar character or conflict of roster was accepted by the Director as an excuse, all the regular and special students were required to take all of the lectures in groups A to D inclusive, ^g'g'i'egating 250 lectures, and to attend a class conference or COMMITTEE ON PHILANTHROPIC EDUCATION 7/ review exercise each week, go on the weekly excursion or visit of the School to some institution or agency of philanthropic work in or near New York City, spend 12 hours a week for eight weeks in office work and visiting of families under the direction of the Central Office or of one of the district offices of the Charity Organization Society, and a like amount of time (12 hours per week) for a further period of 16 weeks in practice or field work either in investigation, visiting families, or office work under the supervision of some approved agency or society, and the prepara- tion of a thesis or full report on some approved subject of indi- vidual study pursued under the personal direction of the Director, Associate Directors, or a lecturer in the School. The satisfactory completion of this program of work fully occupied the entire time of each student and in the case of twenty-eight of the year's students resulted in securing the diploma or the certificate of the School. Several others had to postpone part of the work re- quired and hope to complete the course during the following year. THE SUMMER SESSION The Summer session of six weeks began June 15 and ended July 24 and was conducted under the personal direction of Asso- ciate Director Dr. Carl Kelsey. The program of study was planned primarily for experienced professional workers who might be willing to spend their vacation in study and conference for mutual improvement in methods of work and enlargement of view. Recent college graduates, beginners and others without experience in social work were advised to take the work of the Winter session. The class numbered 78, 62 women and 16 men, which overtaxed the seating capacity of the School and library rooms and would have been very difficult to handle in the class room and on the class excursions had it not been for the enthu- siasm and earnestness of mature students who co-operated in every way with the officers of the School and patiently endured many personal inconveniences in their efforts to help one another. The program included one formal lecture each day, thirty in 78 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL all, on as many different topics, given by thirty different lecturers who represented the leading activities in philanthropic work and many of whom were themselves recognized leaders of national reputation in their respective fields of work. Informal class discussion either preceded or followed each of these lectures and was led by a class leader who took charge of the class for a period of one week. Fifteen additional lectures were given in courses of three to five lectures on fundamental topics and fifteen visits were made to institutions or charitable agencies in or near New York City from whose executive heads the class often listened to important explanations of methods and principles. The num- ber of teachers, ministers, nurses, and others who had had con- siderable previous experience in such work was unusually large in this class and there were in consequence important informal discussions and exchange of views on all occasions among the members of the class. Most of the students already held positions, some of importance and extensive influence in social work, and intended to return to their posts. Several found new openings in larger fields of usefulness as a result of acquaintances formed during the session, and for those of ability without a position there were ample inquiries for workers from various societies both in New York City and in widely separated parts of the country. SCHOLARSHIPS The classes in both the Winter and the Summer sessions formed class associations for mutual helpfulness and to help bring the advantages of the School to the knowledge of others. Each class raised by voluntary contributions one or more scholarships which were placed at the disposition of the officers of the School for the use of future students. Scholarships were given in the Winter session to eight stu- dents whose qualifications for social work commended them to the committee and whose financial circumstances would not permit them unaided to take the course. These were in the amount of $150 which paid the regular full tuition fee of $50 and yielded COMMITTEE ON PHILANTHROPIC EDUCATION 79 the student a stipend of $ioo in cash toward living expenses. Three additional scholarships of the value of $50, or equivalent to free tuition, were awarded for the year 1907-08. In the Sum- mer session, six scholarships of the value of $75 each, from which ten dollars was deducted for tuition and $65 paid in cash to the holder to meet living expenses, were awarded as the gift of one of the members of the Committee on Philanthropic Education. Four additional scholarships of the same amount, one of the value of $60, and four of the value of ten dollars each, or equiva- lent to free tuition, were also given. In all cases the gift is by way of student aid and only to those whose financial circum- stances make it necessary and from whom the return of the amount of the scholarship without interest is expected in part or in full if at any future time the financial circumstances of the holder will permit, in which case the amount so returned will be added to the funds available for scholarship purposes. At the outset the committee found it necessary to devote some of the income from the endowment or from the current funds of the School to this purpose, but now the amounts returned and the special gifts from former students and class associations and from the general alumni association, are almost sufficient to meet this need and leave Ijhe School funds for their more proper and urgent use in the expansion of the instruction facilities of the School. LECTURES AND LECTURERS Acknowledgment should here be made for the service ren- dered by the lecturers on the staff of the School, many of whom are busy executive officers of important societies for whom time spent in the service of the School means many added burdens. A small honorarium is now- paid for lectures in the Winter session from a fund appropriated for that purpose, though in scarcely any case is it sufficient in amount to be considered as compensa- tion but rather as a token of appreciation on the part of the School and intended to meet if possible the inevitable incidental expense incurred by every lecturer in the preparation and delivery 8o REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL of his lectures. For the Summer session not even this provision has yet been possible and the lecturers in that course all con- tributed their services and in addition the Summer course itself was made possible by special contributions of money for its expenses from several good friends of the School. The School has always aimed to serve both professional and volunteer workers. One-fifth of the students in both the Winter and Summer sessions were looking forward to volunteer service. Information, breadth of view, and especially familiarity with the best results of experience and training, are quite as essential for the volunteer as for the professional worker. If it is worth while for one to give his time or money in charitable work it is expedient for him to do so intelligently and efficiently. The School tried to reach and serve a larger number of volunteer workers, especially members of boards of management for various charitable enterprises and church workers. To this end an exten- sion course of ten Lenten lectures was arranged for at convenient hours in Lent. Many of those widely known as leaders and active in formulating our most important social policies were enlisted to speak on their specialties and the attendance and influ- ence of this course encouraged the committee to make provision for a similar course next year. Supplementary activities of the School include a cooking class, organized by and through the courteous co-operation of the New York Cooking School, for those preparing for settlement work and the work of visitors in the homes of the poor, and a class in the elements of the Italian language especially arranged for those who wish to work with Italian immigrants. The Italian class has been made possible largely through the volunteer services of its leader, Sig. Louis Cavallaro. Many calls have come from clubs, societies and institutions for single lectures or brief courses of lectures on particular phases of social work, to all of which the officers or members of the teaching staff have responded as freely as possible. TWO or TTIE TJOOMS OF TUK LIBRARY COMMITTEE ON PHILANTHROPIC EDUCATION 8l THE. BUREAU OF SOCIAL RESEARCH This Bureau was tentatively organized as a department of the School in June, 1907, but did not begin active work until Octo- ber, by which time suitable quarters had been secured in rooms in the same building with the School, the services of an Associate Director, Professor R. C. McCrea of Bowdoin College, had been secured for the active personal direction of research work, and six fellows had been selected and appointed for definite pieces of investigation. During the year the Bureau has had in its service two Senior Fellows, four Junior Fellows, and five special investigators and assistants. The object of the Bureau is to carry on social re- search both for its practical results in securing timely and valuable information of use to social workers and others, and even more for its training for advanced students who have already had either the course in the School or its equivalent. The topics in- vestigated during the past year were : 1. The Salary Loan Business in New York City. The re- sults of this study were published by the Charities Publica- tion Committee for the Russell Sage Foundation in No- vember, 1908. 2. The results of treatment in Charity Organization Society cases. (To be completed December ist, 1908.) 3. Methods and Cost of Burial Among the Poor in New York City. (Completed during the year.) 4. Employment of the Physically Handicapped. (Investi- gation still in progress.) 5. Methods and Result of Training for Social Work. (Com- pleted in August, 1908.) 6. The Public Treatment of Inebriates in New York City. (Completed September i, 1908.) 7. Three brief investigations, each occupying about two months' time of an investigator or an assistant and all completed before September 30, were as follows: 82 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL (a) The Use of Absinthe as a Beverage in the United States. (b) Economies of Women Workers Out of Employment. (c) Working Women's Hotel Accommodations in New York City. THE PUBLIC SOCIOLOGICAL LIBRARY The Library, under the administration of Mrs. Helen Page Bates, as librarian, has been open every week day during the year, except legal holidays. The total number of books on Sep- tember 30, 1908, was 5,761, including 170 duplicates. The peri- odicals " received through exchanges with Charities and The Commons are 246, and the pamphlets and articles extracted from magazines, which have been clipped, classified and filed, number 10,000. The total number of books added to the Library from^ October i, 1907, to September 30, 1908, was 630. The circu- lation during the year has amounted to 2,894 books and pamphlets, as compared with 900 during the previous twelve months. This does not cover the work of the Library in furnishing references and in meeting requests for information. The increase in the Library service in this particular may be estimated from the fact that at the beginning of the year about twenty minutes each day sufficed to replace the books and material consulted, while toward the latter part of this year fully an hour's time of the assistants in the Library was necessary to restore this material to the shelf and file. Only two volumes have been lost during the year, which is a very satisfactory gain over previous records. Progress has also been made in cataloguing. The cards newly written or typed, revised and classified during the year are as follows: Author catalogue, 7,424; Subject catalogue, 3,426; Shelf catalogue, 1,721 ; Total, 12,581. Students in the School now make more use of the Library than formerly, by reason of its closer proximity to the school- rooms, and better arrangements for readers and reference work. CHARITIES PUBLICATION COMMITTEE At its birth, ten years ago, Charities and The Commons was a weekly bulletin by which the Charity Organization Society of the City of New York told its members of its work. Soon it took up editorially other charity work, and so reached the members of other organizations, and gradually it found an audi- ence statewide. It was but a step, then, to take in the whole field of social work and gradually but consistently to grow to represent the whole country. The broadening scope of the maga- zine was only an expression of a rapid growth of social work going on about it. Local bodies were multiplying, their mem- bership increasing, co-operative effort and understanding among them soHdifying, and national organizations springing up to unify their work. Charities and The Commons does not claim to be sole spokesman for all these. Most of them have their own direct sources of conajmunication, through annual reports and bulletins and in publications regularly issued. But in the pages of Chari- ties AND The Commons their leaders meet for the free discus- sion of their problems, the announcement of their plans, the comparison of their methods, and the standardization of their results. Thus the magazine is primarily a professional journal for the social worker, and for this purpose technical departments are conducted by a group of editors, each of whom is a specialist in his field. But some time ago it grew clear that the magazine interested many more than these workers. Its discussion of current topics which social work touches, its independent and unique point of view, attracted many others. A wide field for service seemed opening up, and as a result came the present purpose and scope : 84 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL To continue to serve social workers as a professional journal, but increasingly to reach out to the general public, to inform them of the facts and conditions of things as the social worker sees them, to arouse their interest, to provoke their enthusiasm or their indignation, as the case might be — in a word, to help create an intelligent and permanent body of public opinion in support of social work and legislative policy. The increase in subscribers, the development of the press service and the grow- ing influence of the magazine on current thought and speech and writings are the evidences of this advance. From such material as Charities and The Commons prints have governors and mayors, speakers and preachers, doctors and teachers,, drawn strength and vitality for their messages, and legislators found foundations for protective laws. Persistent effort in calling men's attention to the fair, human side has re- sulted in columns of articles reprinted from the pages of Chari- ties AND The Commons in the daily newspapers, and in the growing use of its contents as the basis for editorial comment. Thus, through an intensive circulation, the general public is reached which is not yet ready to read the magazine di^-ectly. The subject-matter of the magazine is not limited to those events in which social organizations directly participate, but covers also more general news from a social point of view. The editorial interpretation of current events in Social Forces is famihar through the year's issues. By means of this news and the comment on it by the editor and his associates, through book reviews and notes on other magazines, the reader of Charities AND The Commons has a view from week to week of the march of events as they affect the common welfare. The illustrated articles and the discussions in the larger issues, though often discursive and deliberate, have still an element of timeliness. For this field of work, call it what you will, which has to do with the defining and safeguarding of the common welfare, has nothing static about it, and the social worker must be alert to keep pace with his own profession. Although at bottom his CHARITIES PUBLICATION COMMITTEE 85 work is grounded on the most painstaking investigation, point by point, visit by visit, often extending over years, the fruit of that "case" work as it comes forward in report and summary and human experience, shows so clearly where men and things are awry, points so unmistakably to pressing opportunities for achievement for the common good, that the worker must turn readily to each day's new task and must have for his information not a quarterly or a monthly, but a weekly journal. As a direct return on the work of expansion there are the Z^7Z2> subscribers added to the circle of readers during the past year, exceeding by 1,032 the number gained in any earlier twelve- month. That there should have been a net gain over the pre- vious year, in the face of a general financial situation which so largely crippled the business of the country, is a striking showing. The panic and its effects were clearly seen in the number of discontinuances, which exceed those for the preceding year by 855. Many letters asked that subscriptions be stopped because the writer's income was reduced, receipts from advertising were practically stationary, and contributions to the Guarantors' Fund fell off from $15,000 to $7,000. That new subscriptions were gained throughout the year in numbers greater than ever before seems, therefore, direct evidence of the magazine's service to its readers and of' an ever-widening group who want just such weekly interpretations of progress. Subscriptions are solicited in various ways — through agencies, by representatives at state and national conferences, and by means of circular letters accompanying sample copies ; but by far the greatest number have been secured through personal effort of subscribers. This emphasizes again the co-operative nature of the magazine and of the educational ventures which it carries on. The readers are not customers in the usual magazine sense, but rather co-workers, forming in their different communities groups, large or small, of local effort for social advance. It is estimated that on an average five persons read each copy of a magazine or newspaper which is sent to a regular sub- 86 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL scriber. If this be true, the total number of the readers of Chari- ties AND The Commons is now over fifty thousand, for the average circulation of issues for the year was 10,109, while the actual number of paid yearly subscriptions on October i was 9,135. The total number of copies printed during the year was 525,650. The important contributions to the discussion of cur- rent problems, resulting in the' listing of issues in libraries and reference volumes, has greatly increased the sale of single issues to students of these problems everywhere and created a steady demand for the older issues. Every copy sent for by a student working up a thesis on child labor, by a minister organizing in- stitutional work, by a teacher interested in industrial education, reaches .out to still wider groups and places before them the information gathered in its pages from first-hand sources. The special numbers on Housing, Playgrounds, Industrial Accidents, Juvenile Courts, Lodging Houses, City Planning and Congestion have led in this way of reaching out to a new public. But a gain of 3,733 new subscribers and a weekly circulation of more than 10,000 copies, substantial as it is, is the lesser of the two direct means of increasing our audience. The Press Service has developed from the occasional sending of proofs to newspaper editors known to members of the staff, until now it embraces the constant sending out of any matter which may seem to have general interest, and of items of local interest sent to papers in various localities, and the preparation of special articles on social topics mailed regularly each week to one hun- dred of the leading dailies in the United States. Only one paper in a city receives the special weekly articles, and the exclusiveness of the service adds to its effect. Most newspapers make of them a leading feature for the Sunday issues, and some illustrate them with photographs and drawings. Any element of advertising, either of the magazine or of any par- ticular social organization, has been excluded from the service, and it has made good its claim of furnishing disinterested, de- scriptive matter, so prepared that it carries a social message in CHARITIES PUBLICATION COMMITTEE 87 a way to interest the great audience of the Sunday papers. Par- ticularly gratifying is the use made of the service in cities of the middle size, which are just beginning to realize that they, too, as well as the larger centers, must face problems of con- gestion and housing and sanitation, but problems which an in- telligent understanding can stamp out before they have grown old and tough and entrenched in an East Side, a Ghetto or a Little Italy. Not all of the papers use all of the stories, but they are widely circulated every week. When all use a given story it has a circulation of over a million copies, and the average weekly circulation is half a million. Of particular moment in this service was the publication of the results of an investigation of county jails, made by the maga- zine in co-operation with the National Prison Association. One hundred and ten newspapers in one hundred and ten county seats published a general article on jail conditions and requirements, and a special article on their own jail with recommendations for improvement. A brief article and an appeal for early Christ- mas shopping were so widely printed as to fill an entire clipping book. The newest and one of the most interesting adaptations of our material to the problems of many states and to the infor- mation of the general public has been through the service ofifered on tramps ancj vagrants. A series of brief articles on various phases of vagrancy was prepared by O. F. Lewis. When a newspaper clipping comes to us showing a depredation by a tramp or a news item on any phase of vagrancy, one of the ready-prepared articles is sent to the editor of the paper with the request that he use it as an editorial. During the first six weeks in which this service was offered our records show an average of eight of the articles published every day. The total use of Press Service material — weekly articles, jail investigation, items reprinted from the issues, Christmas shop- ping letters, and specials written for use in fighting out a local problem — count up to 3,401 articles during the year, distributed over the newspapers of forty-five states. 88 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL Charities Publication Committee has added to its functions as publishers of a magazine and of reprints of special articles, the responsibility for the publications of the Russell Sage Foun- dation. The first book published under this arrangement bear- ing the imprint of Charities Publication Committee was The Campaign Against Tuberculosis in the United States, including a Directory of Institutions. Several other important publications, including the volumes of the Pittsburgh Survey, will be issued in the ensuing year. THE FIELD DEPARTMENT The work of the Field Department for the extension of charity organization has developed materially since, on October I, 1907, the Field Secretary began work. During the nine months of active service,^ the largest and most important single task was the organization of the Asso- ciated Charities of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The long delay of Pittsburgh to form such a society was a disadvantage, in that the unorganized state had permitted the coming into existence of far too many irresponsible societies ; but it was an advantage in that the narrow programs of some of the older societies were not copied, but the society was enabled, at the start, to seize upon the more advanced programs of to-day without going through the first stage. Its constitution provides for the broad- est sort of participation in all social and civic movements in addi- tion to its function as the registration and organizing center of the charities of the city. The charities and social reform agencies of the city are brought close together in a Central Council, through which far-reaching work should be done. This Central Council, a body entirely distinct from the governing board of the Associated Charities, is a new feature in organized charity work and prom- ises to weld together the greater number of social workers in Pittsburgh. * Dnrins the Rummer months the Field SecrefaT'y was on leave of absence in order to plan the work of the San Francisco Relief Survey, CHARITIES PUBLICATION COMMITTEE 89 The work regarding organization or reorganization may be thus summarized: 1. New societies formed or reorganization effected by personal visits 8 2. Reorganization suggested in personal visits; results prob- lematical 2 3. Existing societies visited 6 4. Correspondence with other societies with definite results (in- cluding help from members of the department) 14 5. Correspondence with possible results later 5 6. Correspondence with no results 6 41 The policy of the Committee is for slow, careful work. Noth- ing so easily lags as organization effected in the midst of general enthusiasm at some public meeting. In each place the preliminary work is extended over as much time as appears to be necessary. During that period the secretary endeavors to become acquainted with the local charity problems, to learn what general social questions are apt to require attention, to meet as many of the men interested as possible in order to give them some insight into the aims and purposes of organized charity, to meet charity workers and school teachers and others who are in touch with the problem of neglected neighborhoods and to work out with them the specific lines of co-operation with the new movement, and upon the basis of all this to assist in working out the par- ticular form of organization which appears to fit best. It is planned that in every case there shall be one or more **follow-up" visits, so that false developments may be prevented if possible. The Field Department has firmly taken the ground that good case work is the foundation of all good charity organization work, and that not until good case work is actually accomplished is any society in a position either to carry out any preventive work or to advise other organizations intelligently regarding their lines of activity in that direction. Whether it accepts the func- tion of leading or of advising in social work, it must first be able to fulfill its primary duty of being able to furnish accurate data on the relative seriousness of the different social problems 90 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL in its own particular field. The importance of different prob- lems apparently varies greatly, even in cities of the same state. The word "apparently" is used advisedly, because never has the Field Secretary visited a place in which there was no intelligent charity organization society wherein he could be sure that he had gauged, even in a rough and approximate way, the whole sum of pressing problems or their relative significance. Though many intelligent social workers can be found in such places, none of them possesses that comprehensive appreciation of the local condition which commonly comes through the presence of a gen- eral social agency like the charity organization society. The question of whether such a society shall be leader or adviser in social reform work must be settled in each community. That is relatively unimportant. What is important is to have an active society in each place, stirring up public interest and activity in individual and social problems. It is difficult to sum up briefly the work in connection with visits to existing societies. On the one hand it is necessary for the Field Secretary to keep abreast of the most progressive work of the most progressive societies in the country. On the other hand, he is able to advise on mooted points, wherein the experi- ence of other cities may be of considerable value. In one city his services were requested in order to develop better relations with different outside organizations and to suggest almost a revo- lution in the case work of the society. In another there was prac- tical reorganization of a society. In another he came in contact only with the executive heads of the society for the purpose of mapping out a more advanced plan in the district work. The societies visited were those of Providence, Louisville, Boston, Washington, Atlanta and Richmond. The cities which were visited on invitation for purposes of organization or reorganization were : Asheville, North Carolina ; Augusta and Columbus, Georgia; Erie and Harrisburg, Penn- sylvania ; Knoxville, Tennessee ; Macon, Georgia ; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ; Rome, Georgia ; Youngstown, Ohio. CHARITIES PUBLICATION COMMITTEE 91 Correspondence was carried on with the following places: Birmingham and Mobile, Alabama; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Marion and Warsaw, Indiana; Des Moines, Iowa; Detroit and Traverse City, Michigan; Duluth and Austin, Minnesota; At- lantic City, New Jersey; Albany, Little Falls, Poughkeepsie, Schenectady and Utica, New York ; Altoona, Connellsville, New- castle and Norristown, Pennsylvania ; Pawtucket, Rhode Island ; Aberdeen, Washington ; Oshkosh, Wisconsin ; Toronto, Canada, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. A monthly bulletin has been issued to all the societies in the United States and to a few selected societies in Europe. The Bulletin is a confidential technical periodical, an exchange of experience, and is not intended for general use. It has considered case problems and such questions as the relations between charity organization societies and public relief agencies, whether smaller societies should undertake tuberculosis work, the training re- quired of paid workers. During the coming year it will be printed instead of being multigraphed. A special committee on Case Records has examined over a hundred case records from about forty societies with a view to publishing a few of them as illustrative samples. The examina- tion plainly indicated the need of better standards of investiga- tion and treatrnent, as well as of record-keeping. Of these records one has already been printed and one or two more will follow. The Department has also had reprinted in pamphlet form Miss Richmond's Minneapolis paper on ''Friendly Visiting," making a total of six special publications. A special offer was made to societies for copies of Miss Richmond's *'The Good Neighbor," and about seven hundred have been circulated in this way. At the National Conference of Charities and Correction a luncheon meeting of the Exchange Branch was held at which an Executive Committee was organized to determine on the admis- sion of societies to membership. There was also held a general conference of all the organized charity societies represented, at which suggestions regarding the future activities of the Depart- 92 *- REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL ment were considered. One result of this meeting was the creation of a Committee on Uniform Blanks. Another was the cordial agreement to a plan suggested of publishing a carefully revised directory of the charity organization societies of the country. At the request of the chairman of the Committee on Needy Families, Their Homes and Neighborhoods, the Depart- ment prepared an exhibit for the Conference under the direction of Porter R. Lee, of Buffalo. The exhibit will be repeated in the 1909 Conference, under the direction of Otto W. Davis, of Co- lumbus, Ohio. the: PITTSBURGH SURVEY The largest single project of Charities Publication Committee has been a study of living conditions in the great industrial dis- trict at the headwaters of the Ohio. The field work has been carried out under the name of the Pittsburgh Survey. The Survey has been under the direction of Paul U. Kellogg, managing editor of Charities and The Commons. Men and women of established reputation as students of social and indus- trial problems, trained investigators, interpreters speaking Rus- sian and Bohemian and Slovak and Italian, artists, photographers, statisticians, map and chart makers, have been associated with him, some for more than a year. As chief advisers and workers have been Robert A. Woods of South End House, Boston ; Pro- fessor John R. Commons of the University of Wisconsin; and Florence Kelley of the National Consumers' League. Special numbers of Charities and The Commons through the winter will set forth the major results of the Survey, with maps, charts, photographs, and drawings in charcoal and pastel to supplement the pen. Later a series of volumes will be pub- lished by the Russell Sage Foundation. A display of wall maps, enlarged photographs, housing plans, and other graphic material growing out of the Survey, was the chief feature of a civic exhibit held in Pittsburgh at the time of the joint conven- tions there in November (1908) of the American Civic Asso- CHARITIES PUBLICATION COMMITTEE 93 ciation and the National Municipal League, and the Survey was the subject of the opening session of these conventions. Certain aspects of the Survey will also be the subject of the joint session of the American Economic Association and the American So- Some of tlie scbedules used in raakins: th« Investigations connected with the Pittsburgh Survey. 94 REPORT OF CENTRAL COUNCIL ciological Society at Atlantic City in December. Many of the most effective men and women in Pittsburgh have given their co-operation in the investigations ; and in turn the results of the investigations have been directed to the service of certain local movements for improvement. Within the space of one year, the Pittsburgh Associated Charities has been organized after a full decade of obstruction and delay ; the force of tenement inspectors of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Health has been doubled and has carried out the first general housing census of the greater city; and under the name of the Pittsburgh Typhoid Commission, a scientific inquiry has been instituted into the disease which has been endemic in the district for over a quarter of a century. A Civic Improvement Commission is now in process of formation. The scope of the Survey is suggested by a mere enumeration of the subjects touched in the principal investigations: (1) The social relations of the wage-earning group: the com- munity; the immigrant; the Negro population; housing; public health; civic improvement; Jewish immigrants; typhoid fever; relief work; the police and criminals; schools; industrial educa- tion; children's institutions; hospitals; child labor. (2) The industrial relations of the wage-earning population: The labor situation; factory inspection; industrial accidents; women in industry ; wage-earners in the steel industry ; occupa- tional mortality ; Homestead. To study the organic problem of an industrial community, to do this in a district where there had been little collective deal- ing with complex evils, to do it in a way which would help the community to appreciate and on its own account to solve its problem — this has been the commission of the Pittsburgh Survey. It has been an experiment to give local significance and national impulse to such an understanding and treatment of the community problem as the charity organization societies of the country have stood for in their constructive programs.
