MANY VOTE FOR CIVIC SERVICE

Preferences Expressed for Branches of Work at Senior Polls.

The Alumni Civic Service Committee distributed special ballots among voters at the Senior polls on Wednesday in order to ascertain the forms of community service in which each man will be interested after graduation. The object is to utilize the training acquired in work such as Phillips Brooks House offers in similar service after graduation. 169 men indicated preferences for one or more of the twenty different kinds of work which were listed on the ballot, and for one of three religious denominations. In many cases four or five different branches of work appealed to the same man. Of these 169 men, 55 signified an especial interest in practical politics; 23 in boys' club work and 16 in boys' scout work. 14 had an interest in public school athletics; 13 in social settlement work; 13 in "big brother" work; 11 in church work; 11 in juvenile courts; 10 in industrial service; 10 in legal aid work; 7 in parks and playgrounds; 6 in entertainment troupe work; 5 each in "friendly visiting," and charity organizations; 4 each in teaching Bible classes, and city mission work, and 8 in social survey service.
