CONFERENCE OF WORKERS.

Two elements enter into the work done by men engaged in Social Service in and about Boston. One is theoretical principles of social ethics and the scientific mapping out of campaigns of betterment. The other is practical first hand activity performed by students actually engaged in the work. The necessary union of these two elements will be further perfected tonight at the conference in Phillips Brooks House. For the social worker such a conference is invaluable. The comparative experiences elicited, the stimulative effect of formal exposition and open discussion are indispensable aids in such work, as those men realize who participated in last year's conference. Harvard does a very honorable share of the local improvement work. To the perpetuation of this work and, if possible, to an improvement of its quality, the meeting tonight can add very largely.
