scattered model homes and schools for negro gi ls in the south it has grown through the years until at present it supervises and supports 183 Institutions with a budget last year of nearly $2,000,000. These may be found all over the United States, and In addition in Alaska, Puerto Rico, San Domingo, and Hawaii. More than 900 paid missionaries and deaconesses carry on the task delegated to them by the Methodist women who are back of this enterprise. Their work includes the task of creating Christian homes for homeless children, and of providing secondary
schools and colleges in
where they would not otherwiso be available to young people. They serve in settlement houses set down in many siratcgic cities in spots that are hotbeds of crime and delinquency. They minister thivVgh clin’cs and hospitals to those who are sick

These various institutions are so placed that they serve every type of race and people found here in America. One outstanding illustration may be found in a boaiding school and high school for Navaio Indians in New Mexico. The best known of their city settlements is Marcy Center, long recognized a» one of the best known social agencies in Chicago. Working with the Jewish people it has now become one of the nation’s most important clearing houses for Jewish :efugees from Europe.
