To Live At South Cove

Nine philanthropic youngBoston women will spend the winter in the South Cove in the interest of the poor women who live in that región. They are not simply to visit and labor in that malodorous quartcr, but they are to live thoe. The little coterie insists that it is not an institution. "We are simply ladies who pr-oferto live at South Cove," they declaro, "rather than at the Back Bay. " The only individual member who allovvs her name to be publicly connected with the movement is Miss Katherine Conan, professor of económica at Wellesley college, who stands sponsor for the movement. Three other volunteers f rom Wellesley are included, one from Bryn Mawr, two from Maine, and the remaining two, who will live at 93 Tyler street, are from Boston's Back Bay. The line of work to be pursued here has not been made public, but the good of the masses and the f urtherance of the ideal democracy are the aims held in view. Reading clubs and classes and all manner of helpful and refininfr influencp.s are to center at the South Cove college and radíate amongthe tenement dwellers and the lodgers in the neighborhood of Tyler street. Wellésly college girls are especially enthusiastic over the project, and in I5ack Bay regions there are indications of the strongest kind of a fad for college settlement work., Conservativo parents view the scheme somewhat uskanee, but if a genuino Boston fad y:'ts on foot parents and public will be powerless and the Sjrath Cove wilL rank among ideal strongholds of culture. -
