“The day of amateur business 
methods in philanthropy is passing,” 
said a business man the other day. 
“A few years ago it was not only pos- 
sible, but common to conduct a charit- 
able enterprise with very little regard 
for the responsibility of those hand- 
ling funds contributed by the public. 
Financial statements, if issued at all, 
were brief and not very clear. Many 
of the best people interested in charit- 
able work would have resented the 
demand that the acounts of- their 
organizations be audited and an an- 
nual financial statement showing all 
receipts and disbursements issued.

supported largely as they are by busi- 
ness men, should adopt business 
methods. Chambers of Commerce 
in many cities now refuse to endorse 
any charitable organization which 
does not publish an annual report 
containing a detailed and properly 
audited financial accounting.

philanthropic organizations recognize

report, but that such accounting is 
their own best protection. One can- 
not avoid in these days feeling sus- 
picious when no such information 
can be secured regarding the work 
of a philanthropic enterprise. The 
advertising and charities endorsement 
committee of the Salem Chamber of 
Commerce, of which I am a member, 
will not endorse any project without 
full information.”
