M'CULLOCH INTERESTED IN SOCIAL WELFARE WORK

Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch, Democratic candidate for governor, Is known among his intimate friends as an earnest welfare worker. For five years he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Flanner House Guild, an institution founded for the benefit 6f the colored people of Indianapolis. • The Flanner House Guild was a result of the Hull House settlement work inaugurated by Jane Addams of Chicago in 1889. In 1898 the Flanner house was established through the efforts of a public-spirited Indi* anapolis citizen and a number of women interested in the welfare work. Dr. McCulloch’s Incumbency on the board was a source of good to the house and his advice and instructions to colored women and children regarding sanitation and improvement in living conditions met with general response from those under the direction of the workers. Owing to his constantly increasing medical practice and his services in the World war he was forced to relinquish much of his Work at the guild. His work among the needy colored population, however, is still spoken of In admiration. •
