Slumming

No Party, He Learns

William Gates Jr. Home

After Summer Of Social Service.

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS |

| Three days and nights spent on | the sidewalks of New York as a penniless vagrant: that is the purposeful role which recently was played by an Indianapolis college man during his summer’s experience with a New York settlement house. William Byram Gates Jr. arrived | A home this week after three months | spent as a Henry Street Settlement | House worker. He is to remain here | with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- | liam Byram Gates, 1304 N. Alabama | St. until the latter part of this | month when he plans to return to | Williams College, where he 1s a | 2 ior, hry Gates was one of 13 young | men chosen from colleges all over | § the country to act as summer staff | members at the settlement house. | .* «Case work, surveys of tenement | i homes and play-street experiments | ; #" made up the bulk of the assigned i work.” he said in explaining that |: he had assumed the part of a vagabond “entirely on his own hook” to | obtain a better understanding of the unfortunate with whom he wes working.

shoes and with a beard of several | days’ growth he set out without | cent to shift for himself for three | days. A As a member of the “bread line” | he hungrily accepted the cup of cof- | fee, two pieces of bread and stew | which were rationed out to every | person who had a “grub ticket.” “These grub tickets offer one of | the main topics of conversation in | the slum districts,” he said. They are issued by the City, it seems, and are good for food at any one of the | three food stations in various parts | of New York. The great worry IS | that the ticket may be confiscated | by police officers for such misdemeanors as sleeping in the parks at night. “When that happens the poor | devils usually leave town and look for greener fields,” Mr. Gates re- |

Enjoyed Children’s Work The play-street activities which Mr. Gates supervised were interesting experiments, he said. At certain hours in the evening, various streets in the lower East Side are roped off to serve as children’s plavgrounds. There the individual workers are put in charge of improvising games and sporis for the gangs of youngsters who have no other place to play. Card tricks and sleight-of-hand stunts were a popular form of entertainment which this local young man used with success. “Every phase of settlement work

decreased 70 per cent, according to |

this local visitor. If the same ratio continues, he says, in 10 years there no longer will be a tenement section there. The slums probably will move ou’ toward the Bronx and to Brooklyn in his estimation, and there will be better facilities for handling the problem, he believes.
