THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Confidential Exchange to
Prevent Duplication In
Charitable Work Here
Is Urged By Committee
Report of Family Welfare Committee One of Outstand
ing Features of Augusta Survey—Cases Cited to
Show Harm Done By Duplication of Effort
This Is one of a series of articles compiled from the Augusta
Survey which the Herald will print from day to day until the eleven
cotnmltteo reports made by tho survey are covered. There have
been printed 1,000 of the books for distribution and copies may be
had at *1 each from either members of the Kiwanls Club, or the j
Chamber of Commerce, or from R. B. Reed, executive secretary of |
the Augusta Council of Social Agencies, at the Board of Health of- |
flees. The book Is a valuable work that should be In every home In i
the city and county. _ l
The report of the committee on
Family Welfare appointed to as
sist lnthe Augusta Survey made
here during the Spring goes into
minutest detail and searches into
hidden corner* where shadows of
misfortune lock fast against the
healthful sunshine of mental and
physical contentment, and suggests
the molding of a master key with
which to enter Into saddened areas
that a purer atmosphere might be
had where misery and want and
disease, perhaps, stalk with men
acing tread.
The Family Welfare Committee
of the survey was composed of the
following men and women of Au
gusta: Mrs. B. E. Lester, chairman;
Mr. Joe Bolding, Mrs. Wm. H. Bar
rett. Mr. y/. P. Congdon, Mr. Lom
bard Fortson, Mrs. James Hull,
Miss Bessie Irvin, Mrs. W. C.
Lyeth, Mrs. Maurice Walton, Mrs.
W. W. Battey and Mrs. W. E.
Reeves.
While it was proclaimed that “no
city In the country has shown
greater generosity In trying to fyplp
Its unfortunate citizens,” It was al
so declared that "liberal donations
have not always been used to the
best advantage.” With this idea as
an Inspiration, tho Family Welfare
committee advised a "well-rounded
community program for construc
tive results" based on reasons, given
in part as follows:
REASONS FOR
THE PROGRAM
A Confidential Exchange Is
recommended through which there
should be a central registration
burerttt by the agencies giving re
lief to individuals and families, the
names confidentially registered or
all such persons with Identifying
facts to assist the agencies in their
work of relief. Duplication was
found to have existed to tin alarm
ing extent, nnd this method of cen
tralized registration Is devised to
guard against this evil
ATTENDANT UPON UNSYS
TEMATIZED RELIEF WORK
Centralized Registration It. Is be
lieved discourage begging nnd help
to build up the self respect of the
family and Individual.
Outstanding arguments in favor
of the Confidential Exchange anil
Centralized Registration is had In
the folloging excerpts from the
committee report:
"The secretary of the General
Welfare has worked over a period
of three years to put a certain fnni
ily on a hasls of self-respect and
self-support and had finally suc
ceeded, she thought, hut during the
snrvey It was learned that another
agency, not appreciating the work
she was doing, had been giving the
family help during the time with
out her knowledge. Tho harm done
this family was Incalculable.”
The report continues: "The fact
that a family Is known to more
than one agency Is not detrimental
to good work, provided the agencies
are working together on the given
ease. Mosl other cities the size of
Angusta, have established the Con
fidential Exchange. It is the best
that Is to he established entirely
separate from any relief giving
agency so that no one agency will
seem to'have the advantage of
another, and the secretary of the
exchange may give valuable serv
ice by bringing tlie different groups
together to work out the problems
of families In which they are mu
tually Interested."
One needy person, it is emphasiz
ed. might "get relief and h.i\> Ins
future planned” by several agen
cies working to assist hint without
the knowledge of each other's do
ing »ml the object of assistance
"would probably become a pauper,
nnd he nnd Ills family cost Augusta
thousands of dollars annually."
Whereas, If there were a con
fidential Exchange the agencies
would know each other's plans and
all work together "and lie might
becomes a self-supporting, self-re
specting citizen."
NEED FOR A STAFF
OF TRAINED WORKERS
Tlie need for a central staff of
well trained workers Is evidenced
by the fact that while a large
amount is annually spent by Au
gusta most of It Is stient In doing
out “so much or so many pounds
of rice, meat, bacon, etc., nnd
"merely giving such relief" does
not heip a family- It is pointed out
I in the committee report that “if
Augusta would spend a proper pro
portion of this money on a central
staff, the constructive services of
building up health nnd family
morale might accompany the re
lief." It is further advised by the
committee that "some one who has
the time, the skill, and the training,
I must diagnose (he cause of trouble
In the family, and help the family
back to n self-supporting basis."
That the skill of a trained work
er is required tn dealing with fam
ily problems la shown by eases cited
as follows:
1. A young woman asked for a
boarding home for her baby so that
she could go to work. Her husband
bad deserted her three months pre
vious and a divorce wits pending.
A home was found for the baby, and
the mother, who liked a good tlrtte,
"began running around with ft guy
j crowd." Her husband was In an
other city where Bile mother lived
The wife's sister and mother lived
In Augusta."
j Here Is presented the problem of
I a broken home, nnd It Is asked*
"Can It be reunited?" Everything
that the two mothers and the sis
ter can tell tho case-worker she
will need to know In order to under
stand and advise And most Im
portant of all. It Is declared, the
ease-worker must "take time to
establish a friendly relationship
with the father and mother them
selves. get the story of their
| trouble from each of them separate
ly nnd finally influence them. If
; possible, to live up to their highest
possibilities."
2. A young married couple with
j three small children. Father sick
and In debt for furniture, no food,
no clothing for the children, no
sheets for the beds. After imme
diate needs for this family are
supplied It Is necessary that the
css -worker be In possession of
such information as. where the
family has lived during preceding
years; has such a condition con
fronted them before; the father’s
employment and hls trade; why
there are no savings to meet such
emergencies as here developed; are
parents Indsutrious, educated; and
other relevant information.
Other cases are cited at length
In the printed report of the survey,
but the foregoing are given In this
article merely as evidence of the
thorough study given by the Fam
ily Welfare committee in making
their investigations.
HANDLING TRANSIENT CASES
DEMANDING RELIEF
The problem of handling transient
cases where relidP Is demanded Is a
large one and the need of a cen
tral agency Is emphasized here b/
tho following outstanding facts:
The geographical location of Au
gusta with reference to winter tour
ist travel; the presence of a large
number of mills of various kinds;
Augusta being a railroad center
wltn about 48 trains arriving daily.
In handling this transient problem
tho rollowing agencies are employ
ed: Travelers' Air, American Le
gion, American Red Cross, General
Welfare Association and the Salva
tion Army. The American Red
Cross andthe General Welfare Asso
ciation, in connection with their
activities in handling transients,
verify facts and communicat# with
relatives and friends before furnish
ing transportation.
In this connection is told the
story of two girls who, wandering
about the country, came to Augusta
and imposed upon the good-lwart
edness of an agency and were
supplied with transportation to their
supposed homes. It was later learn
ed, in the course of Investigation,
that the two young women were
not as they represented themselves
to be, but were of a degraded char
acter and scattered demoralization
wheteever they went. “After much
painstaking effort the legal resi
dence of the family” of the two
gills was found “and if that society
could get the two girls, there would
be some hope of having them com
mitted to an institution. But as
long as some agencies In the state
make it easy and agreeable for
them to travel, they will undoubted
ly continue to spread disease and
demoralizaztzlon.”
Emphasizing further the need of
a centralized bureau in handling
transient cases the following signi
ficant suggestion is given promi
nence: "All agencies handling
transients should sign the National
Transportation agreement, which is
that each agency will Investigate
the facts before sending a transient
on to anther community. Passing
on without Investigation is unfair
I to the community to which they are
sent, and is costly.”
1 It is pointed out In the report
that one of the great needs In car
ing for transient oases is that of
"adequate housing facilities." In
this connection it Is declared that
the "Salvation Army fills a real
need In the community in its reli
gious work and the housing of
transients. In fact, no other agen
cies than the Salvation Army and
tho Traveler's Aid should handle
the transients, each doing the part
I of this job which it is best equip
ped to do.” This phase of the work
is further commented on in the re
port by attention being called to the
1 fact tiiat the cate of transients is
| "In itself a big Job. and is expen-
I sive and difficult if properly done,
and it must be kept In mind that
this Salvation Army Corps has
only two officers to entry on all
activities of tlie corps.” Attention
is called to the need of nn emer
gency home in properly equipping
' the Salvation Army for Its worl:
! among transients, with the recom
mendation that “if the Silvatlon
Army House had some more work
done on It and were equipp'd for
I'lie purpose. It could glva shelter
to a good many transient women
I nnd chidron nnd help the .-omtnun
-1 Ity considerably in dealing with
i this very serious problem.
There are contained in the printed
reports of the Family AVelfnre com
-1 mittee reasons for the centralized
service for dependent children;
brief summaries of reports on sep
arate agencies, and results of de
tailed study of various cases dur
ing the three months of exhaustive
investigation undertaken by the
l survey.
I GENERAL SUMMARY BY
j WELFARE COMMITTEE
A general summary of the re
port of the Family Welfare com
mittee of the Augusta Survey com
poses a chnrt showing the num
ber of white nnd colored families
given help during the three months
of January, February and March,
1924; the costs attendant on the
charity and relief work promoted
by the different ngencles, with a
detailed study of the agencies and
outstanding facta about social
work in Augusta.
Among the outstanding facts to
which special nttcntiim Is Invited.
Is noted the “enormous amount of
relief work for the size of the city
—2,253 cases In three months." Al
so. tho "striking lack of co-ordina
tion nnd lack of specialization of
agencies in tho family work field.”
A forceful criticism made on the
"Inadequate support for family's
•service' work" is that. "The sup
port of social work for dependent
and broken families has not kept
pace with the. growth of Augusta
In other lines, Augusta Is still In
the small town stage In Its family
work, ns there are several agencies
attempting to do nil kinds of things
nnd. therefore, tho one agency or
ganized for family work 1* not
I adequately equipped . . , Just as
communities become complex In
their business and social organiza
tions and needNgo specialize, so It
Is necessary to bring about a divi
sion of labor In social work also,
nnd a specilixation among agen
cies"
The report notes "three not'ceable

the care in their own homes of
aged who are not sick or infirm.
“(c) Hospitalization for all aged
persons unable to care for them
selves, and who, therefore, need
nursing and medical care.”
The report noted that "hospital
social service had not been develop
ed and the lack of this specialized
service throws extra work to the
General Welfare Association. The
two hospitals had 522 free cases
during three months." Attention is
called to there being "excellent
clinical hospital and .public health
nursing facilities which are in
valuable in tho work with un
fortunate families. Also it was
found that there urgent need
of developing a medical clinic
“which is very necessary to mod
ern constructive family work.”
A SUGGESTED PROGRAM
FOR AUGUSTA
As a basis of consideration of
consideration of individual pro
grams for the agencies the follow
ing recommendations resulting
from the- Survey were made:
1. A Central Council of Social
Agencies.
2. A Confidential Exchange.
3. One effective Family Welfare
agency.
A General Welfare Association
To this end it was recommended
that for the time being there should

Chronic constipation is the plague of their
lives, but thousands keep healthy u ith
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
TttJOMEN are so accustomed
w to finding themselves constipated
that they are apt to make matters worse
by inflifference. Unfortunately many
seem to think that it is easier to give the
appearance of health with cosmetics, or
stifle a headache with an opiate, than to
remove the real cause by taking a good
laxative.
The pill habit, of course, is not to be rec
ommended, but any woman can take such a mild
laxative as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin with
assurance that the dose can gradually be decreased
and that there will be no shock or weakening of
the system.
As is generally known, Syrup Pepsin is a
simple vegetable compound of Egyptian senna with
pepsin and pleasant tasting aromatics. A spoonful
will clean out the impacted matter and make you
feel well by morning.
You should take a dose when you feel the
slightest symptom of constipation, such as bilious
ness, flatuldhcy, lassitude, loss of appetite, restless
sleep, bad breath, dull eyes, sal
low skin, and to stop fevers and
colds. Many do not wait for
these symptoms, but take Syrup
Pepsin regularly once a week.

4. Assignment of definite respon
sibility for transients.
G. Centralizing the service for de
pendent children.
6. A mental hygiene clinic should
be supported adequately on a bud
get basis as scon as practicable.
7. Hospital Social Service to be
provided for.
A very Impressive item of the
suggested program contained the
urging, "That the citizens of Rich
mond county act indi*idually and
through their organizations to se
cure a larger appropriation by the
State for the Georgia State Train
ing School for Mental Defectives at
Graeewood. which would relieve the
county of many of its serious prob
lems now being cared for by the
relief agencies, jails and courts.”
Reasons for the suggested pro
gram, as set forth in outline in the
preceding part of this article, are
gone into more fully in tho printed
reports of the Augusta Survey and
are given in elaborate detail with a
strong degree of emphasis. To fully
