Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Woman´s Mission: A Series of Congress Papers on the Philanthropic Work of Women, by Eminent Writers One method was to collect all the regular published reports of Societies, Institutions, etc., and to collate these into a summary, together with any printed matter relating to charitable effort which I could obtain from other sources. This plan, though affording the advantages of statistical form and economic detail, appeared to lack that vitalizing touch which is given by individuality, and which is essential to a full understanding of personal work. It also had, in addition, the disadvantage of excluding all record of the gentle homely lives which are so constantly found actively employed in charity throughout this country, and whose quiet work diffuses sunshine in many an unknown circle. The second method was the one I adopted, namely, to seek for information direct from individuals - from the heads of all religious communities, the presidents or active promoters of philanthropic or social organizations, both large and small, and from women engaged, either singly or in combination with others, in charitable work - and ask from them (a request most willingly and kindly responded to) a personally written report of women´s work within their cognizance. This latter plan secured many of the advantages of the former; for, of course, it did not preclude statistics or economic details, whilst it gained the charm of personal narrative to which I have alluded.
