Excerpt from The Practice of Charity: Individual, Associated and Organized The writer may claim acquaintance with a very considerable amount of such material, and this ac quaintance with families is not solely theoretical or documentary. Many of them he has known per sonally. Conferences are held with applicants both at the oflice of the society and in their own homes.
