INDIAiSTA UN^IVERSITY 



of Indiana University. Professor U. G. Weatherly of the Uni- 

 versity, prepared the schedules and exercised general supervision 

 over the work. The writer of this thesis, a graduate student in 

 the Department of Economics, was in active charge of the details 

 of the investigation. Most of the actual work was done by 

 different people in the employ of the Charity Organization So- 

 ciety, but they were assisted in the Christamore district by six 

 volunteer workers from the University. 



Many obstacles were encountered. Most of them were over- 

 come, but a few seemed insurmountable under the circumstances 

 and caused a change in the plans of the workers. On the whole 

 the work was most interesting and instructive to the writer, 

 and it is hoped that the report presented in this thesis, supple- 

 mented b}^ the schedules Avhich were filled out by the workers, 

 will prove of some value to those who are engaged in social work 

 in Indianapolis. 



Most of the schedules were incomplete on some points, as very 

 few families were willing to give all the information desired. 

 For this reason it was deemed best to omit from this thesis the 

 figures secured concerning a number of points. Only by a care- 

 ful study of all of the schedules can one be led to understand 

 the whole situation in its many phases and all its difficulties.
