A Richmond Failure "I have never seen worse conditions in Richmond," said Township Trustee Howarth recently. He declares there are now close to 200 names on the poor relief books, but that these represent only three-fourths of families actually in need. For months now the Associated Charities have

sent out one appeal after another for money and have reported that local charities are in a very bad way. This is in no wise a reflection on the splendid efforts of those few faithful souls now in charge of local relief work. Their perseverance, their efforts under such adverse conditions as now obtain often reach the sublime and become heroic. But these conditions as described are a reflection on the community as a whole. A city that hand

les its poor relief in the haphazard, irregular, unbusinesslike way ours does is a city that has at least one cause to hang its head in shame. What we need is a complete and thorough-going reorganization of our whole system for dealing with local conditions, a reorganization that will include everything from A to Z. In order best to accomplish this the first essential step would be.to have an expert survey made of the city. No business, whether it be helping down-and-outers or building canals can proceed "by guess and by gosh": if it have not a definite and complete knowledge of its field and the needs of its field, it will move in the dark. The director of charities should know (not guess) just what the state of affairs may be with which he (or she) has to deal. After the survey must proceed a reorganization of the charities office, the charities staff and the machinery of distribution and recording. This must be as thorough and as efficient as if it were for the management of a great industry. Slovenly methods, or rather lack of methods, are

as fatal in caring for the unfortunate as in running a steel trust. For this it would be best to have a professional in charge. Charity is a science. It requires that a scientist manage it. Charity is a twoedged sword and will do as much harm as good if not directed according to well defined principles of relief. Trained workers in the field are also necessary. Good will is a splendid thing, an earnest desire to relieve suffering is noble, philanthropic motives are divine, but all these will sour into a disease if not salted with accurate knowledge and trained skill. As important as is an effective mechanism with which to run the business is the efficiency of appeal. As things are now managed only a few feel the need and pressure of the work. Othtrs learn of it in a casual way but never come to realize the urgency of it. Because of this the

burden of the whole matter is unequally divided

and falls on comparatively few shoulders. The poor belong to all of us; we all share in the re

sponsibility for the conditions which make for indigency and we all should help ameliorate those

conditions.

To accomplish this some kind of right publicity should be developed. When a thing is

merely put in print it is publication ; but when it is so put in print that it goes home to the readers will and moves him to respond, it is publicity. One of the biggest tasks before the charities organization is to evolve some method of publicity. The object of the appeals should always be to establish a dependable fund on which the work

may be built. As things now are those in charge are ever at a loss as to what amount to anticipate. The uneven and irregular method of receiving funds makes regular and methodical work almost impossible. And the one scientific method of handling funds, once they are obtained in such a public trust is the budget method. When it is definitely known how much money will be available it should be appropriated to various departments of the work and never, except in the most unusual circumstances, be used in other departments. The poor we have with us and will for years to come. The helpless and unemployable and dependent seem to increase in number. They must be fed and clothed and housed. The community

must pay for that. Various few individuals pay

the money out in the first place, but gradually they pass it back to the rest of us and we bear it finally. If a cheaper and more economic method can be found of managing our charities, we all will save money. A scientific poor relief avoids pauperization. Amateur and misguided efforts to help usually cause more poverty than they cure. Hence an efficient system will not only save future expense, it will save future poverty. Finally, there is no surer index to the real inward condition of a community than the condition of its depressed classes. The information, the data and the facts which such an organization would place at the disposal of those in control of the city government would itself be worth oi1-A..reallv scientific organization would cost.

Good Starters A great many persons are desirous of making a start in some kind of reading or study, but dont know where or how to begin. "I want to know something about psychology," they say, or botany, or economics, or whatever the case may

be, "but I am so unfamiliar with the literature on the subject I don't know what to ask for." Recommen ding reading to another is almost

as precarious a thing as prescribing a diet for another and we have no intention of so doing, but there are a few books which serve admirably as starters and which are so written that almost anybody can vibrate to them.. Few can make any mistake in trying them out. Such, we hope, are these we suggest in a few fundamental lines. If - one wants to make a start in Literature an excellent guide for the first is W. J. Dawson. He has written three volumes which constitute a series and which he has entitled "Makers of Modern English." These are interesting and refreshing studies of the work of many of the better known modern writers from Samuel Johnson down and

are written with such simplicity, such freshness and cast such an illumination about the subject that the man who d6esn't find himself going after the books he reviews is not of the nature that will care much for literature. Professor Cody has another series, not of reviews and criticisms, but composed entirely of reprints of the masterpieces of the best writers.

One contains the best essays, the second the best

poetry, and the third gives one the most power

ful orations. These volumes cover a large tern tory and serve as an unexcelled introduction.

After one has gotten into the way of reading

''the best that has been thought and said in the

world," he will be ripe for such a book as Prof

R. G. Moulton's "World Literature." This will ta"ke one to a high peak from which he can see

the broad outlines of the whole world's achieve ments in the wonderful art of writing.

If it is Science that one hankers for, Tyndall's essays. "Fragments of Science," would in

troduce one into that fairyland as well as almost any other work. While consulting a spiritist

medium (for purposes of investigation) Tyn

dall's "guide" spoke of him as "the poet of science" and that is about as good a characteriza

tion as could be made.

Henry Smith Williams, David Starr Jordan

and Thomas Huxley have also written a number

of volumes on science that whet one's appetite

for more.

If one happens to care for Psychology and

wants something easily understood to start with,

President Henry Churchill King's "Rational Liv

ing" is as good as anything to be had. Aside from the excellent clarity of his treatment the

book is very practical and also offers a full list

of other books on the subject.

Those who care to try Sociology will find few

better guides in beginning than the Rochester

professor, Walter Rauschenbusch. His "Chris tianity and the Social Crisis" and his "Christian

izing the Social Order" will put one into a mood for something stiffer and pave the way to the great source books such as Spencer's "Sociology" and Lester F. Ward's "Dynamic Sociology." If it is the political and economic side of the question that appeals, Walter Weyl's "New Democracy" and Herbert Croly's "Promise of American Life" are stimulating and suggestive. If one cares for the stars but is frightened at mathematical Astronomy or such weighty books as Newcomb's "The Stars," he will find Garrett P. Serviss' popular volumes on the heavens to inspire him to go farther into the subject. Some works, especially in literature, are at once great and simple, at once profound and popular. If a person will ever care for Emerson he

probably will take to him as much in the beginning as at the end. The "Essays" appeal to youth and to genius. AH of us have the former

once, a few the latter always. And what is true of Emerson , is true of many others. It is well to avoid the fallacy that because a book is great, it must be hard to read. The opposite is very often the case.

Rat Meat j When Fried to a Turn" is Delicious, Says M. V. B. Webster

Epicurian of Note Speaks

With Authority on Subject For He Has Devoured a Rodent.

Rata are really not half bad eating

if properly cooked, but cannot be recommended as a steady diet because ot the danger that some nicely fried rodent might contain too large a quantity of rat poison.

This statement is made by Martin

Van Buren Webster, generally known

as Daniel Boone," epicurian of note, a well known colored man, and some time trapper.

Martin Van Buren Webster speaks

with authority on the subject for he has' eaten a rat. He was not aware

that he was devouring a rodent it hav

ing oeen represented to him as a

ground squirrel to which he Is partic

ularly partial. Rat meat Is as white as chicken breast, M. V. B. Webster states, and when "fried to a turn" is

sweet and luclous. He likes it much

better than horse meat, which Is too tough although nutritious.

Although Mr. Webster win never

again eat a rat, unless made the victim of some practical joker, he is not sorry to have performed this gastronomical feat, for it is now possible for him to boast that he has "eaten about everything 'cept dog and snake meat." M. V. B. Webster explains Interestingly how he happened to eat a rat.

been nicely fried they lost their nerve and sold it to a colored man for a dime, representing it to be a ground squirrel. This colored man finally became suspicious of his purchase and when Webster came along sold the rat to JLiaa for five cents. The three who had balked on devouring the fried rodent were interested spectators as Webster masticated, with relish, the

entire portion. When he appeared next morning, apparently as hale and i healthy as the day before, the con

THE JOURNEY-WISE

Fragrant this peace, which the dead have found; Warm as the new-mown hay Piled on their graves, in the old churchyard, Spread for a Bummer's day. To speechless lip and earth stopped ear Do songs of the wind still sing? To speechless lip, and sightless eye Does the sun sweet-living bring? $ Ah! Who shall tell this thing? Well, here lie the hearts that are journey-wiso, Dust are the lips we love; Peaceful their sleep in the old churchyard V,"!t:: the new-mown hay above. Jeanette Mark.
