A the lot on which the thun.Ii md
atood were nemiy a mile from the
academy and the hospital, and a tlila
locality was rapidl? becoming a bus'nes
district It wa decided by a vole of the
palish not to build a new church on thi
location. Four lots were accordingly pur
chased on tha corner of Ninth tr?t end
Cheyenne avenue for I'j.OA On one of
theee lota atond a reeidewe which, after
tt waa moved north to make room fui
tha' church and renovated, waa suitable
for a parsonage.
B. C. Keck, an Alliance contractor who
built the academy and the hospital, also
erected tha church. The architecture 1

Ida V.' Jontr. sscretary of the Asso

the work of ths year ending September 30,
aj follows:
Dr. lievlne In his book on "Social
Forces" writes as follows: "Poverty a

ated f.4,.,1 gvneratlon to gcnttratlon tn ths
midst of progress. Is not to bs accepted
because It has been, but Is to b recog

part In It, wa look for nothing less than
ths elimination of dependency, tho con
quest of poverty, the realisation ct
normal atandard of living tor eveiy tarn

of all our efforts." . .
During tha year that has pa-t we have
endeavored to Itero theee principles In
mind. It has been the aim of the Asso
ciated Charities to work along broad
lines which have to do with the com
munity at large and also to krep In close
touch with the individual and endeavor
to build up the family life, and help to
create a better cltlseushtp.

It has since been pronounced by comiw-
tent authority to be one of the best ar
ranged Institutions of Its kind In tho
country. It coat, exclusive of furnlur,
over J30.000.
Thi academy from tho very beginning
attained a popularity which wa a pleas
ing as It waa unexpected, and tha neces
sity for more extended facilities was
quickly apparent; consequently an addi
tion was built. This addition correspond
In archlterlur with the former building
and Is MixlOll feet, three stories and base
ment. The academy as It now stands will
accommodate 100 boarders and DOO day
scholars, and It would appear that, even
with the addition, larger facilities will
be necessary In tha near future, aa there
aVa at present elghty-f'.ve boarders and
about 09 day scholars, which almost taxes
the facilities to rapacity.

Showed us that back of ths requts. for
ths coffee mill wss a greater need which
required endless time and . patience to
meet. The request for the parasol re
vealed an entirely different situation,
which required thought and careful han
dling. F.ach day ha brought an endless
variety of ralla, and If "variety I th
sp:c of lit," aurely th I If of th charity
worker le well spiced.
It 1 a mistaken notion In th minds of
many that organised charity allows ths
needy to remain cold and hungrv until
the oase can be Investigated. On th con
trary, relief is given st one In ail cases
where there ar Indications' of need.
That la followed by a careful study of
the situation, and further treatment Is
given as th cass In hand may require.
Carroll D. NVHght says thst "relief

restore the recipient of old to sulf-sup-porting
conditions ts ths noh'.est work of
chartly." Tho Associated Oisrttlna fur-
nlalies th temporary relief and then c.l

suited to lend assistance. The second
most important ohjjct in glvlni; relief,
aa expressed lr. Witghi, hs been mora
easily carried on Utcase of the spirit
of co-opi-rtl3i which exists between the
various organisation of the city. With
out this co-operation the one principal
object in giving relief would be almost
wholly thwarted.

but la nsverthsless a fact, that Alliance,
una of ths most westerly cities In ths
state, can boast of having the second
largest academy In Nebraska,
St. Joseph's Hospital.
The building of this Institution Is really
a sequel to the completion of the acad
emy. AgaJn all arrangement were left
in the hand of Father McNamara, who
had proved himself capable In every. way.
The contract waa let In April, lOlOJ call
ing for completion July U of the'same
year. The construction is of brick and
stone, the dimensions being 84x 63 feet, two
stories and basement.
Owing to careful planning tMs Institu
tion has been so arranged that practically
very form of hospital work can be con
ducted here. The first floor Is devoted,
with the exception of an obstetrical ward,
entirely to private rooms, of which there
are twelve. The second floor contains
the chapel, sisters' dormitory, a men's
ward with fourteen beda and dressing
and operating room equipped with mod
ern surgical appliances. Th tasement Is
partitioned oft to contain the furnace,
out, aa the strain had been too much for
her. Sha waa taken sick and '.t waa then
necessary to call up the Visiting Nurse
association. Ullls had accumulated, and
as they were unable to pay their rent a
notice waa served. Ths rsnt was paid
by our office until better quarters could
bs found, when they removed to mor
anltary rooms, Hrlng handicapped aa
they were by illness and the scarcity of
work during the winter, It was difficult
to find work which they cou.v. do. The
family Income was supplemented from
time to tint as the need required. Aa
th spring cam on ths different mem
ber of the family had gained in strength
and work waa easier to find, but In one
year'a time the man of the family had
not had one month's ateudy work. It
waa found that ths mother and daughter
were both Buffering from huuiy decayed
teeth, xvhlch was rsusing general III
health. A dentist who had previously
offered his service was appealed to and
took the rase In hand. The man has now
steady work with a coal firm, i.ie woman
goes out only for an occasional day's
work and the girl will soon enter school.
Fetter housing condition and the proper
medical and dentil care will do much
fur thi family. The relief given during
the winter v.a necessary and of great
Importance, but had the work stopped
there the family would not be In a posi
tion to help themselves aa they are to
day. I
Another case could be cited where all
the following organisations were working
together to build up one home: The
Voung Women's Christtau association,
City mission. Juvenile court, detention
school, county hospital, attendance offi
cer, Associated Charities, beside several
Individuals. In another family the co
operating agencttx were the fct. Vincent
de I'sul society. Visiting Nurse associa
tion, Juvenile court, county phyclclan, at
tendant' officer and the Associated Chui
ltles. We could cite case after case bring
ing in all the agencies of our city, in
terested In the social uplift of humanity.
Ther would be aeen a different group for
imh faintly, but all working together In
hannuny and without duplication.
Mr Additional Cases.
We would call attention tu the addi
tional number of t-nsc handled over last
yeur and also to th fact that this has
been done with very little addod expense.
At the beginning of the year, Mr. T.
U Kimball kindly renewed her offer of
her former residence at 1J31 Park Wild
avenue, for the work of the Industrial
department. Th work of the previous
year had fully demonstrated the value
of such a department,. Thi branch of
the work haa been conducted at les ex
pense than last year and aside from the
worker's salary, haa been practically sel
supportlng. Less employment ha been
given, because i have been abl to find
work outside the department. A th

center for some of their extension work.
A club of over thirty 'girl from th
train achool haa met ther each week
for work In physical culture and for
social gatherings. The public library
usee the house aa a distributing station
and books have been given out two even
ings each week. Ftee concerts were
given during the early part of th year,
but as the work becomea heavier, we
were obliged to drop that part of th
work. The' Girl' club haa increased Its
membership to flfty-sls snd haa out
grown the quarteia In the Park Wilde
house for their physical culture work,
but they do not want to leave th place
entirely, so will meet once a month for
oclul gathering, their gymnasium work
being carried on In the train school
building. Plans are under way for rc
Bunilnt the concert.
On January ill, 1111, the county com
missioner expressed their confidence In
und appreciation of th work of th Asso
ciated dimities by adopting resolutions
to the effect that all persons receiving
county aid shull be luvestigsted by the
Associated Charities and that nil pass
t utdn shall be taken up, and that the only
cards to Ui recognised by the county
aurnls fchali be those leaned and signed
by the Associated Charities. This new
method Instituted by them has been a
great saving to Ikiiie'ss county. Careful
Investigation of tltfurta for the mopth of
April and May, 1910 and 1911, show that
in groceries and transportation alone
there was a saving of about $1,000
month. It was luuiul that there were
many Instances where people had been
getting help from the county for a long
period of time, the longest being thlrty-
o'Sht year. In some cases fauilllo were
puylng fur home snd receiving county
aid at th same time. Again there were
families who teemed to depend largely
upon tho county for their supply of shoes.
On family of six had had thirteen pairs
of hre in four months, though there
were three people in the family able to
work. There were on the list the names
of a number of elderly people who had
grown sons without families, who might
hat eared for their parents, but instead
allowed them to get help from th county
One family In which there were four able

In reference to thia class of people,
Carroll I). Wright says; "WI.en a gra

The relief In many cases was not ade

resulted In mors adequate provision for

deserve much credit for the advance step

Considerable work hna been done during
the yenr In the way of exposing fraudu
lent solicitors of money. Not long alnee
two different business houses' notified our
office that a colored man was soliciting
money for a "training achool for colored
mulds." At other times the man said
he was aolicltlng for n "rescue home for
colored Birla." It was learned after care
ful Investigation that no such place
existed. The man had been doing this
soliciting for several years, going back
to donor at certain neaHon of the year,
receiving a subscrlp'lon from .different in
dividuals, the amount ranging all the
way up to $ri0. The nrtincs were secured
of as ir.nny donors as possible and all
were notified of the facts in the case.
We wish to state here that our office
will bo slad to receive reports of anv
such case at any time. Investigations
will be made and report of same fftvn
