Board of Charities for Life’s Work.

Blaine Gwin came home last night for a short visit with his parents and other relatives before entering Indiana University for his senior year. Daring the sammer he worked for the Board of Associated Charities at Cincinnati, Ohio, and became very much inti, ested in the woik, preferring it to school teaching. His branch of the work at Cincinnati was to investigate the deserving merit of persons who asked charity.- He has decided to engage permanently in the work and will take what training he can at college this year along that line and then take a summer course in the New York School of Philanthropy. The work is qnite renumerative, advancement coming much faster than it does in school teaching, and Blaine cited several cases to young men from Indiana University who are earning from *1,200 to 12,500 a year in the work. Blaine is doubtless the first person from Jasper connty that was ever employed in a similar work.
