ASSOCIATION HOUSE

On Seventeenth street and Seventh avenue in Rock Island is a modest appearing brick house that would attract but little attention from the casual person, but because of the wide scope of the work done here, it is worthy of special mention.

It is accomplishing splendid results and might well adopt as its motto, "Not willing that any should perish." It is an emergency house where any needy woman, girl or child can be admitted at any time and cared for as her condition warrants. A day nursery is also in active operation. This house was opened in March, 1910, and is under the control of the Associated Charities of Rock Island. The officers are: Dr. J. W. Stewart, president; Mrs. R. G. Sherwood, vice-president: Wirt Taylor and Miss Dina Ramser. secretaries; and W.Y. Parks, treasurer.
