has to say :

To Whom It May Concern.

Lately I have been asked so many times by different people what my opinion of social work among colored people in Indianapolis was, that I take this occasion to set it forth in

written words as best I can.

This was recognized when the Attendance Department thought it advisable, and proved it. to put a separate officer on the colored schools, and to deal with the colored children as a separate problem requiting more attention than the white ones. 1 his was not because the colored child was more apt to he a truant, but because his family is more apt to be in trouble. I, myself, believe that the situation will never be bettered until the colored people themselves realize that it will take more education, more varied forms of employment and more personal attention to solve the problem. Neither wull much he done until the white people realize that they cannot afford to let the colored problem fester at their back doors. If they have no unselfish reasons for helping with it, there are plenty of selfish ones. Especially is this true of those problems which involve illness and infectious diseases or bad moral conditions. It is all one problem, and everyone must help with it. I frequently have been asked also if I did not exaggerate the colored problem in Indianapolis. I think not. I do not know the exact number of colored people here, but I do know

beaten path between Indianapolis, Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati and St. Louis. We get not only the most ambitious but the worst and the population is a moving one which is hard to

deal with.

Moreover, I find that the colored people do>ot know how to use such sources of help and health as are available, and therefore suffer unnecssarily. A good social worker could steer many of them out of needless difficulties and into independent lives. Almost as often I have been asked if I consider Miss Lavinia Jones a person of ability. She has been a student in the Social Service Department since September, and during that time has done both conscientious and intelligent work, and has displayed a great and unselfish interest in the colored patients of the Dispensary, with whom she has dealt. If anything could he done to give her services to this de- | partment, the department would he j very grateful and would do its best to j make a wise use of them for her peo- |

pie.
