institutions; e.g., see Children's Aid Society (Class II., Div. 6).
The Public Schools are established by the State for the purpose of giving a free education to all the children of the city over 5 years of age. The Evening Schools, held from October to March, are for those whose ages or vocations prevent them from attending the day schools. Apply to the Principal in charge for admission to any of the Gram- mar, Evening or Primary Schools.
TRUANT OFFICERS, upon being notified that a child does not attend school, look up the case, and use such powers as the law gives them to compel attendance. All complaints of Truancy should be addressed to the Superintendent of Schools, who will refer them to the proper officer.
The " DIRECTORY of the Board of Education," a very complete handbook, giving all desirable information about the educational institutions under the charge of the Board of Education, is annually issued by that body.

THE CHARITIES REVIEW. A Journal of Practical Sociology.
The following selected from subjects described in the first numbers will show the scope of the Review :
Workingmen's Insurance, Co-operation against Beggary, Municipal Lodging Houses, District Nursing ; Percentage Collectors and Endowments ; Neighborhood Guilds ; Free Food and Free Schools ; Manual Training ; and Charity Organization. Short sketches have appeared of the lives of Arnold Toynbee, Dr. S. G. Howe, Rev. Oscar C. McCulloch, and others. Such institutions as the Hull House, Chicago, the Jersey City People's Palace, the Hebrew Institutes are described.
Among the contributors are many prominent writers on social and economical questions and specialists in charitable work in this and other countries.
It is published primarily for the members of the Charity Organization Society of New York City ; but it is hoped that it will become a medium of publication for other Charity Organization Societies in this country and for co- operating societies in this city and elsewhere.
The following are a few of the testimonials of the Press.
"A scholarly and at the same time distinctively 'practical service.'"-The Review of Reviews.
"It should be taken by pastors, philanthropists and educators."- The Christian Advocate.
"The Review must be very helpful to all students of philanthropy and social science."-The Christian Register.
"There was a want in periodical literature here that needed filling, and judging from the present number, this Review will fill it."-The Christian at Work.
"The aims of the magazine are well conceived, and if its succeed- ing issues fulfil the promise of the first number, it will meet a de- served success."-The New York Tribune.
"If every succeeding number is as attractive and entertaining as the first issue, the Review will easily earn a place for itself on every study table."-The New York World.
"It presents an attractive table of contents. written by persons whose known ability and means of acquiring information on the sub- jects whereof they treat are above the common level."-The New York Commercial Advertiser.
The REVIEW is published monthly during eight months of the year, by the Critic Company, for the
CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCIETY
of New York City. Subscription price $1.00 per year (eight numbers). Remittance should be addressed to
THE CRITIC COMPANY, 52 & 54 Lafayette Place.
THE UNITED CHARITIES BUILDING, FOURTH AVENUE, CORNER 22d STREET, Erected by MR. JOHN S. KENNEDY,
Will be the permanent home of the CHARITY ORGANI- ZATION SOCIETY (with its records of 150,000 families and persons, derived from more than 300 co-operating Societies and Churches, during its ten years of work), the ASSOCIATION FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITION OF THE POOR, the CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY, and the NEW YORK CITY MISSION SOCIETY. On the corner above the NEW YORK SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN will soon put up their building, while across the way is the YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
It is manifest that a building so occupied and located offers unequalled advantages to charitable societies of every description. The more of those induced to take up their abode in the building the nearer will it realize the desire of its Founder, and become a centre of informa- tion and record about charitable work in all lines and a place where the needy can receive, or be intelligently guided to, adequate relief.
The Building will be fire-proof, steam-heated, with elevator, electric lights, and all needed ;modern con- veniences ; and offices therein will be rented at reasonable rates. It will also contain a large Hall for public meetings. Applications from benevolent and kindred Societies are solicited. Address the
Trustees of the United Charities Building, Care of the CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCIETY,

CLASS II.
TEMPORARY RELIEF OF DISTRESS. (See also CLASS IV .- RELIEF TO FOREIGNERS.)
[It should be borne in mind by those seeking the proper sources of relief in any case, that :
1st. Parents are legally bound to maintain their dependent chil- dren, and children to maintain their dependent parents; and such relatives may be directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, in its discretion, to contribute according to their several abilities.
2d. All religious congregations make provision for the relief of needy and distressed members of their own parishes. Reference, therefore, may always be made to the relief agencies of the Congre- gation with which the case is affiliated. See list of Churches and Congregations.
3d. The Societies for Foreigners' Relief (see Class IV.) make am- ple provision for temporary relief of persons of their own nationality. Therefore, in case of applications from persons of foreign birth, re- ference should be primarily made to the Society for the relief of the same nationality, if any exists.
4th. The following should be referred to the Department of Chari- ties and Correction, by whom provision is made for them :- Vagrants and tramps, drunkards, insane, idiotic, helpless blind, friendless old people, sick, homeless mothers and infants, and all other helpless, hopeless and friendless cases.]
The Charity Organization Society endeavors to obtain for deserv- ing cases, from the proper charities and charitable individuals, suit- able and adequate relief of all the kinds named in the following Divisions (see page 1).
