232 ENGAGED IN SOCIAL SERVICE

The annual mid-year report of the Social Service Committee of Phillips Brooks House shows that since the opening of College in September, 232 members of the University have been enlisted in some form of social work. This number, in spite of the decrease in enrolment in the College, compares favorably with the 279 men enrolled in the cause last year. A large number of the 232 men are employed in teaching foreigners and workingmen, and in leading boys' clubs in Cambridge. Others are working under the settlement houses in Boston. The scope of the work done by these volunteers is very wide, ranging from teaching elementary subjects, such as English, mathematics and Latin, to leading groups of boys who are interested in music, dramatics or debating. Several students have been instructing groups of boys in elementary military drill.

Many of the workers are engaged in some special form of special service. For example, six men are doing Juvenile Court and Associated Charities work, 15 are teaching Sunday Schools, and 10 are leading Boy Scout troops. The following table shows the exact number of men engaged and the kind of work done: Leaders of boys clubs,  156 Teaching,  31 Sunday School teachers,  15 Boy Scout leaders,  10 Probation workers, Juvenile Court,  4 Friendly visitors, Associated Charities,  2 Miscellaneous,  14 Total,  232
