Next week the "West End Workingmen's College," a "definite school of Americanization," will open at the Francis E. Villard House at 38 Chambers street, Boston. Instruction will be given in mathematics, English literature, modern languages, community civics, composition, philosophy, history, government and economics. This college is relying, to a great extent, on Harvard men to make it a success. The Social Service department of the Phillips Brooks House will be very grateful to any men who wish to volunteer.
There are at present 107 men engaged in various forms of social service work under the direction of the Phillips Brooks House. These men serve in any of a varied list of capacities, selecting their work according to their experience and interests. The work is divided into three classes: education, athletics and entertainment. The educational work consists of teaching in neighborhood houses or in such organizations as the Working Men's College. In the second division the men act as physical directors for boys' clubs. In the entertainment work they coach dramatic productions or organize glee clubs and supervise recreation of all kinds.
This year the demand for social service workers is greater than ever. For every man now engaged there are two positions available; at least two hundred more men are needed. The work requires only two hours one night a week. Those who are interested are urged to apply at the Phillips Brooks House from 8 to 10 o'clock in the morning.
