75 FRESHMEN SIGN UP FOR P.B.H. SOCIAL WORK

Out of 600 Freshmen who wrote "yes," or left a blank on the card asking them if they would be interested in social work for the Phillips Brooks House, 75 reported at the House and signed up for social work in one of the various departments.

The greatest part of the service is performed in settlement houses such as Lincoln House, North Bennet Street Industrial School, Denison House, Cambridge Y. M. C. A., Emmanuel Memorial House, and the Ellis Memorial. Here the volunteers act as lenders in the activities of the boys' organizations, refereeing or coaching basketball, aiding in naturalization work, teaching arithmetic, english, history, and geography. The "home librarios" form another of the most important phases of the work. Certain books are read by the members of the boys' clubs who write short reports telling whether they liked or disliked reading. General discussions follow.

Other activities are the Medical Dental Cliute which is conducted by students in the Dental and Medical Schools, and the Foreign Students Committee, the duties of which are to arrange receptions for foreign students and to assist in the weekly discussions of international topics.
