Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analytical Sketch of the Young Men's Christian Association in North America From 1851 to 1876: Together With Contemporary Essays, and a Statistical Statement of the Results of Its Work From 1876 to 1901 He was a delegate from that association to the Boston, Philadelphia, Albany and Montreal international conventions, and was a member of the International Committee from 1869 to 1875. In all these positions he was active, attentive, and exceedingly useful. It hardly need be said that this period of official activity embraced prac tically the most trying time in the history of the associations on this continent Indeed when Dr. Morse became the treasurer of the New York association its fortunes were at the lowest ebb. It was in debt, it was not popular, its membership had diminished, and it was proposed by some of the friends of the association to abandon the effort. Dr. Morse was convinced of the value of the institution, insisted strongly upon its continuance, and offered the earliest pledge received, giving what he deemed his proper proportion for the payment of the out standing debts. The debts were paid, and the association of New York City started at that time upon its unexampled career of prosperity and usefulness.

Book excerpt: Focusing on middle-class women's contributions to the northern Civil War effort, Patricia Richard shows how women utilized their power as moral agents to shape the way men survived the ravages of war. Busy Hands investigates the ways in which white and African American women used images of family and domestic life in their relief efforts to counter the effects of prostitution, gambling, profanity, and drinking, threatening men's postwar civilian fitness. Drawing on letters, diaries, and memoirs of Civil War nurses, sanitary workers, soldiers, and the soldiers' aid societies, Richard develops a new perspective on domestic influence on the war, as women sought to save soldiers from the dangers of the military world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Is this intervention effective?" This is a question that social workers have asked themselves since the birth of the profession and which social welfare agents have asked since the birth of our country. In our attempts at advancing the social welfare of the client and society, it is essential that we constantly evaluate the impact of our interventions. Over the years, however, the above question has yielded some surprising answers. During the Colonial era, those individuals suffering from mental illness who demonstrated a proclivity for aberrant and sometimes harmful behaviors were locked away in barns or small rooms. During the late 1800s in New York City, social welfare agents organized the orphan trains, sending poor immigrant children-many who were not orphans-out to the more "wholesome" environment of family farms in the Midwest. In the 1950s, social workers placed themselves in the role of social police by conducting midnight 'raids' (i.e. unscheduled visits at midnight) at the homes of welfare recipients to ensure that welfare mothers were not benefiting from a man's company in secret, and thus, disqualifying themselves from receiving aid. Looking upon these interventions with our present eyes, from a viewpoint firmly grounded in notions of self-determination and empowerment, our profession can easily see the moral failings of these interventions. From these examples, as a profession we are able to note that simply applying good intentions-by themselves-are not adequate to ensure effective and worthy interventions. We are also able to note that simply having an outcome measure is not enough to ensure the worthiness of an intervention, as the examples above contained easily measured outcomes"--
