ALL CLASSES CARED F&RBY THE ORGANIZATION j- By Ruth Bent. We have been impressed with the fact that the people. In general, know very little of the nature of the work of the Central Association of Evans- ton Charities. This to due, in a large measure, we believe, to our failure to discuss the details of our work. Our aim has been to do our case work with as little publicity as possible. We have not *!&*& to parade the suffer- tags of the poor before the public. Yet, at the same time, we want the public to know the nature of" our worjt, and because of that knowledge, to support us in our attempt to bring about the best possible standards of living for all of those with whom we come In contact. . Cared for 247 Families. During the past year, ending Oct. 1, 1914, the Central Association of Ev- aiiston Charities cared for 247 fam- ilies, 146 of which were new to the organization Your most direr* interest in the affairs of the county lies ut y«*ur pocketbook, if you are a taxpayer. ....'..... Mismanagement means useless expense in all departments, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly. No one pays it except you, the taxpayer. But the most important feature of good or bad management lies in the care of the The question Is how to do It. First ^ ji j j j ^ it JLi. ^u v s^n comes the sympathetic study^e" ^ scribed above, not merely to qualify for temporary aid, but as a basis of continual treatment. This is absolutely necessary if we would lead men out of their distress. * --Many a. criticism is cast against iin- vestigation as unkind and unneces- sary,- -One. of _the cotneretones^ of charity organization work is knowl- edge of facts. Charity organisation is unworthy. They believe that there la nobody unworthy of being helped, just as in the eyes of the physician there Is not one unworthy of being cured. The kind of help they offer is dis- tinctive in that, as Benjamin Frank- lin says, -'They wish to help men, not iu their poverty, but out of ii.1' They add three words to the oft-quoted dic- tum, "No matter how. he got into trouble, help him;" they say, "No mat- ter how he got into trouble, help Tifin out of It.*' were married couples, 42 widows, 19 single women, 19 deserted wives, 16 separated couples, 12 single men resi- dents, 11 single men transients, 7 dl- rorcedr coupico, ? widowers, 3 unmar- ried mothers and 3 unmarried couples,; In this group of people, could have been seeii all sorts of folk in all kinds of trouble--widows, old people, chil- dren in great numbers, women in search of deserting husbands, victims of loan sharks, eick babies, those on whom tuberculosis had set its seal, and many out of work. Every case was treated as intensely individual. First comes the investi- gation, analogous to the physician's diagnosis. No~ physician would- ore. scribe for a patient without a careful diagnosis; neither can a social worker minister to those who are in econom- ical, ethical or spiritual need, without a know&dge of facts. # ~"v *' All Deserving of Help. But tije questions the social worker asks arei hot ithosa, of a detective try- ing to find out who to worthy and who if " ' NORMAN HACKETT IN "TH* TYPHOON." An Interesting event is the return of Menyhert Lengyel's remarkable play, "The Typhoon," which is to be presented at the Victoria theatre next week with Norman Hackett in Walker Whiteside's.famous role of the Japan- ese diplomat/**Tnis unusual play has called forth fNfcflft Of admiring com* ment from besides of the Atlantic, sinco it was first produced in Vienna three years ago. It has. been translated into fire languages, and successfully presented In all the great cities of France, England, Germany, Australia and America. This can be readily ac- counted for when its theme, "The Yel- low Peril," Is of world-wide interest. This is espooially true in the United ;OS-^-a- physician depends for a wise diagno- sis and a successful cure upon a care- ful collection and weighing of all the symptoms and history of the disease, so a social worker, in order to adjust a bad situation wisely and bring the family back to its normal relation- ships must know, not alone that the family needs food, or medical aid. or any other single fact, but a collec- tion of all the facts that contribute ta get or keep a family out of normal balance. Organised Effort Gets Results. It is obvious that all poverty and suffering cannot be relieved by indi vidual effort. Widespread poverty produces community problems. There to a long line of social disorders that follow in its train. These must be attacked by organised j effort. Such organization is still, to be sure, in its infancy. When It shall have been per- fected until it embraces all men, work- ing together for the common good, there is no doubt but that human mis- ery will then be conquered by organ- ized human thought. .'

Mr. Hackett's managers have pur- chased the magnificent New York pro- duction of "The Typhoon" for his use, so that the same marvelous atmos- phere which was so compelling in the Whiteside presentation of the drama, to still maintained in the Hackett per- formance.

The play is a wonderful picture of the effective, silent, ceaseless work* Inge of Japanese diplomacy among aliens, while the absolute self-sacri- ficing patriotism of the Japanese Is made very real, and leaves one com- ing from the theatre with a shiver at the complicated, net work ever weav- ing new meshes for the secret power of Nippon in other lands.
