Foreword
S an evidence of the spirit which its
name implies, this little book is pre-.   sented to the people of New York
by the Department of Public Welfare.  Regardless of other affiliations, we know that the citizens of
New York are keenly interested in the
charities of their city and have expectantly
'awaited the knowledge of how their money
is spent for this great cause. As the first
attempt in the history of the Department to
list in directory form the municipal forms of
relief and the private charities directly connected with the city, we offer this book with
many apologies, while we assure its readers
that we know there are many errors to be
corrected in the revised edition.
In the field of relief work there is not only
opportunity for co-operation between public
and private agencies, but an absolute necessity that this co-operation be carried on
whole-heartedly and intelligently.
Public charities must be ready to do all
things for all people, regardless of creed,
station in life, color or nationality. It must
be so organized that no one who needs its
assistance shall be turned away unaided. It
must work along those plans of relief which
have been sanctioned by the definite expressions of the community. Private charity, on
the other hand, from its very nature can deal
with specialized forms of relief; it can experiment with new ideas, and through
experiment educate the public to a realization of the worthiness of its cause; but






above all, private charity holds within its
power the stabilizing influence of the community-the moral and religious life of its
citizens. So long as the private charities
emphasize the force of religion in life, just
so long will they be able to express their
fullest value in terms of relief.
With all the new forms of interest
injected into the life of our community during the last few years, the basic private
charities are likely to have been forgotten, if
they have ever been known to the public at
large in their entirety. Many people do not
realize the extent of their problems and the
various points at which they touch municipal departments. Through this directory
we hope to give some idea of the magnitude
of this work and to recall to the attention of
the public the necessity for their adequate
support.
The co-operation which we have received
from the private charities has been most
cordial and helpful. We trust that they feel
our attitude has been sympathetic and cooperative, and we hope that through the
closer association of both of us the public
and the poor of this great city will be better
served.

at 10 and 4 o'clock.
The longer vacation, the shorter hours,
the better food and the lunches all tend to
keep the young women in better health;
while the increased allowance, the probationary outfit and the giving of books during the course make it possible for the students to take the training without feeling
the continual financial strain which many of
them have felt heretofore.
A post-graduate course in Public Health
and Social Service has been established at
Hunter College. This is an eight months'
course-two semesters-and is open to the
graduates of all the city schools. There is no
tuition fee, the students live in the Nurses'
Home and are given the same money allowance as the senior student nurses.
Training Schools for Attendants
An epoch-making step in the progress of
nursing was the establishment of schools
for the training of attendants. Four such
schools  have  been   established.  These
schools are all in special institutions and do
not conflict in any way with the Schools of
Nursing. The dates on which the attendants' schools were opened are as follows:
No. of
Pupils at
Time of
School                  Date  Opening
The Central Neurological School,
Blackwell's  Island...........July 1, 1919  26
The Randall's Island School,
Randall's Island.............. July 1,1919  12
The Sea View School, Staten
Island....................... Jan. 1,1920  26
The Greenpoint Hospital School,
Brooklyn, N. Y............... July 1, 1920  4
In the first graduating classes from the
three older schools there were forty-seven
who received certificates. These Schools for
Attendants were established to give better
nursing care to the sick in special institutions where the majority of the patients do
not require the services of the highly skilled
trained nurse. These trained attendants will
revolutionize the care of the sick in these
19




institutions and will give to the community
women who are trained to render certain
nursing care at such rates as should make
it possible for the average citizen to employ
them.
HOSPITAL SOCIAL SERVICE
Medical Social Service continues to the
patient beyond the hospital walls the oversight and assistance he obtained within
them. Provision is made for proper care
and surroundings during convalescence;
assistance is secured for the dependent
family; necessary surgical appliances are
afforded as well as the special nourishments
often required, and suitable employment is
obtained.
A provision of its Charter forbids the city
from using its funds for relief in homes of
its hospital patients, hence these needs must
be met through private funds and a close
co-operation with the various philanthropic
organizations of the community.
The following is a report of the work done
during 1919 by the Social Service Departments of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals and
the Department of Public Welfare:
Bellevue                            Department

$5,794,963.18.

PLACING OUT AGENCIES
The Commissioner of Public Welfare has
designated certain private agencies to carry
on its work of placing children in free family
homes, namely, the Catholic Home Bureau,
the New York Children's Aid Society, the
48




Brooklyn Children's Aid Society, and the
Child Adoption Committee of the Free
Synagogue. The children in all Catholic
child caring institutions, who are eligible for
placement, are referred to the Catholic
Home Bureau, with the exception of the
children from the New York Foundling
Asylum and the New York Catholic Protectory, which carry on agencies of their own
for the placing of their children.
The Hebrew Orphan Asylum, the Hebrew
Sheltering Guardian Society, and the Home
for Hebrew Infants, occasionally place children, but as a rule Jewish children are referred to the Child Adoption Committee of
the Free Synagogue. The children in Protestant institutions who are eligible for
placement are referred to the Children's Aid
Society as a rule. An exception to this is
the Colored Orphan Asylum of New York,
which has a placing out agency of its own.
The Brooklyn Children's Aid Society only
places children directly committed to them.
