Every suggestion involved in participation in the quarantine movement is for the benefit of the participant and involves no sacrifice that does not repay in cash (economy) as well as in other means of happiness.
Next to the neglected children who "have no show on earth to be good," the most unfortunate class of any community is the clerk or other worker, having a salary of from $2,000 to $5,000 a year and having conventional social aspirations. Turning of the attention of this class of unfortunates to the suggestions involved in quarantine, and active participation in the work, even in so insignificant a degree as 1/100 of time and income, will remove a fruitful source of crime, due to extravagance, which reflects even more discredit upon our social system than any other of its inconsistencies.
WARNING
Help people only to help themselves, if possible.
Indiscriminate charity often does more harm than good.
Dispense your charity personally, if possible.
The best charity is assisting education, especially Character-Building and Useful-Habit-Forming.
ORGANIZATION
Supplementary to the suggestions for "Local Quarantine Organizations" beginning on page 169 of That Last Waif; or, Social Quarantine, several good ideas have been received.
