advice, and opportunities for observation and training. As a means of gathering into a single place at the same time a group of the most earnest, enthusiastic, and promising workers who, even if, as in some instances, they have been at work for several years, still consider themselves students, the summer school is a marked success. As an agency for affording definite professional training and instruction, it is of course only a beginning. The demonstration is complete however that the beginning is on the right lines, and that the school is capable of immediate expansion into the ideal curriculum as soon as the necessary financial support is provided. The hearty indorsement of the appeal for such endowment of the school as would permit this expansion from such men as the Hon. Seth Low, the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, Bishop Potter, and President Gilman, and the participation by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, and the Hon. William Rhinelander Stewart of the New York State Board of Charities in the opening session of the school for this year, are indications that the need is not unrecognized even outside the field of those who are personally engaged in charitable work.

The Hon. Joseph H. Choate, since his appointment as ambassador to England, has written a personal letter in commendation of this plan, pointing out that there are thousands engaged in philanthropic work, "whose labors would be labors would be doubly effective if they were better trained for the service, and thousands more would gladly engage in it if they could see better how to make their efforts tell;" and he ex

presses the opinion that in both classes a permanent and enlarged school would "redound to the advantage of the community by securing a more economical and effective application of those vast sums which are every year spent by the City and State of New York in private and public charity."

The City Council of Richmond, Va., has appropriated $500 with which to employ visiting nurses to work among the poor of the city, under the supervision of Mr. George B. Davis, the superintendent of the city almshouse. It is thought that a larger appropriation will be given next year.

An association has been organized in Baltimore to provide outings for aged people. Persons more than fifty-five years of age will be sent into the country for a week's vacation at cottages already provided. In addition to sending away as many persons as their funds will allow, the association will arrange car and carriage rides. for those who must remain in the city.

The number of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island during the month of May was largely in excess of the record for any preceding month, amounting to between 85,000 and 90,000. The largest number for any preceding month was for May, 1893, when 73,000 immigrants were landed. The majority of the new arrivals are coming from Austria, Hungary, Italy and Russia. The figures for the entire year are expected to show a very large increase over any previous year. In

of 160 acres, forty of which will be used for the present buildings and the remaining 120 will be held by Mr. Phipps at the disposal of the sanatorium. The first plans contemplate an outlay of $250,000. The entire cost has not been definitely stated, but it is supposed to run up into several hundred thousand dollars for the construction, with an endowment sufficient to carry out the memorial plan for its maintenance.

Fourteen probation officers have been appointed by the judges of the Supreme Court of Baltimore to serve in the children's court to be established in that city. The probation officers were recommended by the various charitable organizations of the city and any compensation for their services will be paid by the societies recommending them.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society of Brooklyn has appointed Mr. Patrick Mallon, president of the Conference of the Society attached to the Church of St. Vincent de Paul on North Sixth Street, as special officer to visit all the police courts in the interest of juvenile prisoners. The expenses of Mr. Mallon's salary will be met by an assessment on the Conferences of the Brooklyn Society.

The appointment of Mr. Mallon will not conflict with the duties of Miss Anna Connolly, who has been employed as a court agent of the Society for several years. Miss Connolly will continue to give her attention to the Catholic women that are brought into court, while Mr. Mallon's duties will be particularly in the interest of the Catholic chil· dren.
