THE ATLANTA (JKORGTAN AND NEWS. PROBERS PRAISE ASSOCIATED 0 Chamber of Commerce Commit tee Finds Complaints Are Groundless. Officers of the Atlanta Associated Charities discussed with gratification Thursday the thoroughgoing Indorse ment of their work by the special • • mmittee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. The committee, named as the re sult of several minor complaints In respect to the Associated Charities’ methods, found the complaints to be groundless and discovered so much to commend that they reported at length on the good work of the or ganization, and urged that contribu tions for charity be given to the As sociated Charities in preference to any similar body, because of the cer tainty that it would be judiciously ex pended. Only two criticisms were offered. One was that the organization prob ably erred in being too painstaking in the keeping of some of its records Change Recommended. It was recommended that certain of the records in respect to treatment of cases be less voluminous. In this v. ay it was thought clerical expenses would be minimized. Another recommendation was made t' at the records of disbursements of lunds to individuals be msfde more complete by obtaining a receipt from the recipient. Referring to the work of the Asso ciated Charities, the report says: .“It is our opinion that the best work being done is along the. lines of treat ment and prevention of diseases among the poor. The association dt- \ ices this work into two phases. First, the treatment of diseases in the indi- v idual family, second, undertaking to .•crease and improve the general fa- 'ities for treating and preventing meases and sickness in a community, specially in relation to the poor. “In regard to the first phase, the ssociation endeavors always to see I that every needy family concerning whom there is any indication of dis ease receives medical attention. In securing such treatment for these people, they use the Grady Hospital, college Clinics and the services of pri vate practitioners. For the month of October, 1013, - almost 100 cases were referred for treatment to private practitioners who gave their services free. "During the past year the associa tion expended more than $600 for medicines alone, which they distrib uted to the poor, and a large sum of money was used to supply suitable eyeglasses. During the past year the association has secured the services of physicians for 958 families and di rected to clinics and places in the hospital members of 557 families, se cured nurses in 140 families, and fur nished glasses and medicines to mem bers of 583 families. “The second phase of the medical work has its relation to the Improve ment of the general facilities and the prevention of disease* Students Aid in Work. “They have recently organized a medical students’ ‘committee, among the fourth-year men of the Atlanta Medical College, whose members they use to supplement the work of the two city physicians. These students volunteer for work in the homes of the poor of the city, where it is not always necessary to have a more ex perienced doctor. From this commit tee they hope to develop among the students such appreciation of the need of hospital social service that, in time, a department of medical social service will be established in the Gra dy Hospital. lien DUlMluI S F Morbid Women Storm New York Courtroom and Battle Guard, but Are Rejected.
