The Brownson House assisted underprivileged and immigrant families in the city, providing them with educational, vocational and social programs such as student clubs, Sunday school, dances, and sporting events. Mary Julia Workman also became the first woman to join the Municipal League, a civic watchdog group. A Roman Catholic who built cooperative relationships with church leaders, she founded the diocesan chapter of the National Council of Catholic Women in 1924. She led the Los Angeles Civil Service Commission from 1927 to 1928 and helped establish local chapters of the League of Women Voters and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Throughout her life Workman was active in numerous social and religious efforts in her native city."},{"label":"Description","value":"A two page letter dated May 6, 1917 from William Corr to Mary J.

May 6 1917    My dear Miss Workman:     \"None so busy as those who have nothing to do\", seems very true in my particular case. I should have answered your very interesting letter long ago. I enjoyed it immensely. Next time I shall manifest my appreciation by a more prompt response. I have been trying to do some lecturing, a bit of writing, and a whole lot of Parish work. The latter is the most important part of my present existence, and one ac-quainted with a real live Fall River Parish this means work, both manual and mental.     I have often thought, during the past Winter, that the members of Brownson House must have spent a long time thinking about what would be the most apt souvenir before they presented that umbrella. Certainly, nothing has made me realise more that I am away from the sunshine and flowers. Every time I go out that Brownson House friend goes with me, and a wonderful intimacy has sprung up between us. This morning, though it is already nearing the end of Spring, the rain, hail and sleet are intermittent-ly pouring down upon us. My chum stands in the cor-nersmiling and seeming to say to me, \"Never mind, though you miss Los Angeles, you've got me\", and we both drown our sorrows beneath the above elements, singing, \"We Love You California\", and hoping that some day we may be able to change the tune to, \"We're going back to California\".     Last week I was in New York and tried hard to reach Mrs. Furman. I called several times and not finding her at home either time, I left my address, which was the Prince George Hotel. I was very sorry as I was in high hopes of having a little talk on things Californian. I shall try again next time I am in the big city.     I read a notice in the late number of the Char-ities Review about the Mexican Mutual Welfare League. It strikes me as a wonderful enterprise, filled with prodigious possibilities. It must be kept out of the hands of politicians and other intriguers. The paper especially must be watched. Is it not wonderful to have those people so interested in their own advance-ment. Half the problem is ordinarily solved when people are convinced of their needs and are ready to co-operate. This is beautiful testimonial to Brownson House."},{"label":"Source","value":"Department of Archives & Special Collections, William H.

Your work will fall in perfectly with his ideas. Catholic Social Work is fast com-ing to be an intimate part of the church activity of the country. Just see what the Arch-Bishop of Chicago is doing. It is wonderful. The same is hap-pening in St. Louis and other large cities. I am sure L.A. will not be far behind under the leader-ship of Bishop Muldoon. I really wish I were with him. I must stifle the thought.     [Next paragraph was in the margin typed on the left side of the paper]     Tell Mrs. Whipple that if the election for the Presidency of the Friday Morning Club has not already been held to use her influence for Mrs. Brainerd un-less she has some other choice. I would like to see Mrs. Brainerd elected. She is a very fine type of woman and very capable.     Though [Originally \"Thought\" and \"t\" is crossed out in ink] I have made no public announcement of the fact except to a few of my near friends, I am to spend next year in New York, making a study [Originally written \"stusy\" and a \"d\" was written in ink over the \"s\"] of the charities of the Metropolis. While there I shall attend Columbia University. I spent a few very pleas-ant hours with Dr. Devine last week, and through him met several of the prominent men and women of the School of Philanthropy. They have a wonderful course of study. Then, the library contains some-thing like one-hundred thousand volumes on various social questions. I have not fully decided to take up the work. The wonderful field appeals very strong-ly to me, and I'm afraid I cannot resist the tempta-tion, if the war does not interfere.     Dr. Ryan has written me several times, requesting an article on some subject pertaining to Charity work. I am not anxious yet awhile to go into print, and am trying to put him off. If he he insists, I would like very much to discuss [\"discuss\" inserted into to sentence using ink] these \"America\"[Quotations around \"America\" written in ink] disputes about what Socio-logy is and what it is not. I think they are childish. Fr. Blakely, of course, is right in a certain sense. Sociology, as conceived by Comte, Spencer and most of the modern sociologists, is materialistic, as it has no place in its system for God and religion. The fault, however, is that they try to make all attempts at social betterment synonymous with sociology. True if one be sociology is false, then their social service is apt to wrong, since sociological principles are meant to guide that work. Catholic courses in these things is the crying necessity. Less tearing down and more building up, should be our watchword.     The institution is the great problem. This will be solved, I think, by an elaborate placing out system. Write to me when you get a few spare moments. I like to receive your letters. Your point of view is charming. With best wishes to all at Brownson House and kindest regards to your Mother and sisters    I am   Sincerely Yours  [Illegible signature]"},{"label":"Source","value":"Department of Archives & Special Collections, William H.
