Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Charities: A Study in Philanthropy and Economics On the appearance of Warner's "American Charities" fourteen years ago, its unique character was at once recognized. For that work is the first thoroughgoing scientific treatment of the most difficult and perhaps the most important of the ever widening group of sociological arts to which happily Professor Henderson has given the generic name of "social technology." It possesses an enduring, a vital quality which in the judgment of scholars has already won for it the rank of "classic in philanthropy." With remarkable clearness Dr. Warner perceived the new dynamic tendency which was destined soon to revolutionize economic and sociological thought. In the outset with trenchant phrase he exposes the sterility of the prevalent laissez faire dogma. "People are tired of the gospel of inaction," he exclaims, "and the teacher has been compelled to heed their demand for guidance in the doing of constructive work... Students must be trained in a more generous political economy than that of Senior and Miss Martineau," if they are to achieve success in organized philanthropy. Therefore the time is ripe for a new edition of the "American Charities." It is significant that in the statement of principles no essential change is required. The book deserves to be perpetuated because of its perennial scientific quality. This is the more remarkable considering that only two years ago, in Ward's epoch-making "Applied Sociology," appeared the first systematic discussion of the basic law which must govern all wise effort for social reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State and Charity At this point the narrative pauses, and, in Chapters VIII. And IX., an attempt is made to exhibit, so to speak, a section of the sphere of action covered by the charitable instincts of mankind. As a practical man, the English citizen must realise that in this country there exist, side by side, legal and voluntary agencies for relief, and he is called on to regulate this co-ordinate jurisdiction in the light of sound theory and experience. Apart from the statement of fact contained in these two chapters, it has been the object of the Author to set out rather than decide the issues of a controversy which branches out into almost every phase of human activity. Judgment cannot be passed by this genera tion on constructive experiments which it has itself devised: if the Author has succeeded in suggesting the points on which the verdict must turn, he has realised the limit of his ambition.

Newman: A Thanksgiving. There stands, at the threshold of the nineteenth century, the forerunner of that noble band of confessors who, during it, renounced honors and wealth, and friendship, and high places, and pleasant lives, for Christ's sake, the figure of a woman, worn and wasted with conflict, yet touched with the radiance of victory; one who, chosen by God to do a great work in the new country that was to repair to the Church the losses inflicted upon her by the schism of the sixteenth century, shows throughout her life the special guidance that He vouchsafes to souls faithful to His inspirations, and the strength and consolation He imparts to those who suffer for His sake.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charities and the Commons, Vol. 15: February 3, 1906 My interest in the question of the adult blind is neither sentimental nor patho logical, but simply sociological. I might tell you of old men and women in pitiable plight, but they are often over eighty years old and would be nearly as badly oii with their sight; again of a graduate of a school for the blind who may have been aflorded the utmost advantages the school can give and yet be unable to support himself, but he is likely to be diseased in body or per verted in mind or to have defects of charac ter which would make his success impossible if he had the best of sight. I am not ready to generalize or to give an answer to the problem until I know all the elements of it. It is like a question in proportion with many terms, the distress of individuals be ing but one term. I have great fear of movements started by those whose eyes are too full of tears for perfect vision or whose hearts are so large as to take all the blood which belongs to both the heart and head.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practice of Charity: Individual, Associated and Organized The writer may claim acquaintance with a very considerable amount of such material, and this ac quaintance with families is not solely theoretical or documentary. 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. Frequent visits to other cities and conferences with those who are engaged in similar work in New York and elsewhere will per haps prevent the views expressed from reflecting merely local or exceptional conditions.

Download or read book How to Help written by Mary Conyngton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Help: A Manual of Practical Charity In the three years since this book was first offered to the public, there has been a little change in the principles and methods of organized charity. More and more the emphasis has been laid on preventive work. The provision of large funds for purposes of investigation has made it possible to learn where prevention is needed and how it can be effected, while the growing closeness of cooperation between the different forces of philanthropy and reform has rendered practicable large social movements which ten years ago would have been regarded as purely chimerical. There has been a general and most desirable forward movement, but the stress has been laid rather on social justice than on philanthropy or charity. Hence it has not been necessary to make material changes in the subject matter of this book. Some chapters have received considerable additions; wherever the point of view has changed the latest opinions have been given; and the book as a whole has been carefully revised. Its general character, however, has been preserved unaltered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Apostle of Organized Charity St Vincent de Paul Classic Reprint written by Henry Somerville and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apostle of Organized Charity, St. Vincent De Paul The reform of 1834 did act powerfully in America and England to make men regard charity from a purely utilitarian point of view. It was seen that much charity was misdirected, and produced mischievous instead of beneficial results. We cannot stop now to trace the development which has resulted in the distortion of the Christian meaning of charity, so that now that most beautiful of words is actually ill-sounding to many ears. What we want to point out is that in the nineteenth century all charitable activities came under critical examination, and there arose a movement for the organization of charity on strictly utilitarian principles. It was urged that charity should be regarded as entirely a matter of busi ness, and the object should be the maximum return for the minimum of expenditure. When the new principles came to be put into effect the organization of charity often meant simply the absence of charity. It feared so much the dan gers of pauperization, and it esteemed so highly the saving of expenditure, that it flattered itself with having achieved its objects when it had merely left the poor to go without help.
