323 IN SOCIAL SERVICE WORK

The work of the University volunteers in social service under the auspices of Phillips Brooks House has increased consistently since the mid-year period. About 40 different institutions, seven of which are in Cambridge and the rest in Boston, are visited weekly by one or more University men.

The work done at the settlement houses by University men is mainly teaching and club leading. The former is concerned chiefly with the immigrant and the working man, and the latter with boys. Other branches of the work include friendly visiting for the Associated Charities, probation work under the auspices of the Juvenile Court, and teaching Sunday school.

The following table gives the number of men now working both in Boston and in Cambridge: Boys' Clubs,  135 Teaching,  125 Boy Scouts,  20 Sunday School,  15 Juvenile Court,  7 Asso. Charities,  6 Miscellaneous,  15 Total,  323

Many Serving Independently.

The above figures do not tell the whole story, since some men have taken up the work without the knowledge of the Social Service Secretary. For example, there are more than 15 men teaching Sunday school. The above figures, consequently, include only those men who have been enlisted by the Social Service Committee. An important aspect of the work is the fact that more than 130 men are doing social service work right here in Cambridge.

Since last October the entertainment committee has given ten entertainments at the various settlement houses in Boston and Cambridge. About 50 men are engaged in this branch of the work. Speakers have also been sent out to address schools, churches, Y. M. C. A.'s and clubs. All of the above activities are under the immediate charge of the Social Service Committee.

The need is still greater, however, for more volunteers, as teachers, as club leaders, and as entertainers. W. I. Tibbets '17, Social Service Secretary, will be glad to meet anyone interested at Phillips Brooks House any morning between 8.15 and 10 o'clock.
