Many of them he has known per sonally. Conferences are held with applicants both at the oflice of the society and in their own homes. The necessity for aiding agents and visitors to reach practical conclusions on the more serious questions arising in their treatment of families, such as the initiation of proceedings on grounds of insanity, the commitment of children to institutions because of the destitution of parents, or the provision of a pension for aged persons, have given a 'familiarity with details which will often correct or modify con clusions based upon written records and statistics of a general nature.
