Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Administration Including the Poor Laws IT is a good thing for the student, the teacher, or the thinker, whatever the subject, to recognize its highest ideal to approach it with a fullness of purpose, and with the hope that the time devoted to the furtherance of knowledge, from whatever stand point, may be spent to the advantage of the individual, and to the betterment of his fellow man. There is no topic before the public which has received so much attention as that of the Poor Laws, and there is no subject which deserves to be, and should be, more carefully studied by the average citizen. Yet, it may be asked, to what extent does the knowledge of the man in the street extend beyond the fact that he pays either directly, or through his landlord, a yearly sum for the maintenance of his poorer brethren For what purpose, exactly, this money goes he does not know, neither has he the disposition to inquire until the awakening comes, when, through an occasional scandal, he recognizes that in him, at any rate, the State and the parish has lost the citizen who, by his wilful blindness, has done much to aid and abet a corrupt and unscrupulous management. To such, and there are many, this work will be directed, in the hope that at its completion the dormant interests may have been revived to renewed activity, and that those who may have perused its pages will have received an impetus to inquire further into one of the most pressing social problems of the present, as of the past, generations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Wreckage: A Review of the Laws of England as They Affect the Poor Firstly, as regards the poor-laws, there is an almost universal concurrence of opinion among those who have studied the subject, that the influence of these laws in the past, and to a great extent in the present, even as now administered, is to foster pauperism and discourage providence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over twenty-five years and through five editions, Walter I.

The only comprehensive account of American social welfare history from the colonial era to the present, the new sixth edition has been updated to include the latest developments in our society as well as trends in social welfare. Trattner provides in-depth examination of developments in child welfare, public health, and the evolution of social work as a profession, showing how all these changes affected the treatment of the poor and needy in America.

From Poor Law to Welfare State directly addresses racism and sexism and pays special attention to the worsening problems of child abuse, neglect, and homelessness. Topics new to this sixth edition include: A review of President Clinton's health-care reform and its failure, and his efforts to "end welfare as we know it" Recent developments in child welfare including an expanded section on the voluntary use of children's institutions by parents in the nineteenth century, and the continued discrimination against black youth in the juvenile justice system An in-depth discussion of Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein's controversial book, The Bell Curve, which provided social conservatives new weapons in their war on the black poor and social welfare in general The latest information on AIDS and the reappearance of tuberculosis -- and their impact on public health policy A new Preface and Conclusion, and substantially updated Bibliographies Written for students in social work and other human service professions, From Poor Law to Welfare State: A History of Social Welfare in America is also an essential resource for historians, political scientists, sociologists, and policymakers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In What Respects May the Administration of the Poor Law Be Improved?: A Paper Read at Bristol, at the Request of the Council of the Social Science Association I have a sufficiently good opinion of the benevolence of rate payers to think that, if the former complaint were unfounded, the latter would scarcely exist - viz., I believe that if the really unfortunate - the sick, the aged, and the infantile portion of the poor, were treated as they should be, the public, with few exceptions, would not grudge the money expended upon their relief.

Download or read book One Hundred Years of Poor Law Administration in a Warwickshire Village Classic Reprint written by Arthur Wilfred Ashby and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Years of Poor Law Administration in a Warwickshire Village The fifth monograph of our series is the result of prolonged studies begun by Miss Lodge in Paris, under the direction of M. Ch. Bemont. The author intended originally to present a general description of the conditions of land tenure and rural life in medieval Gascony. A good deal of material was collected for this purpose, but the scheme proved too comprehensive, and its proper elaboration would have demanded years of further study. I proposed to Miss Lodge to narrow the investigation to one district, and, as far as possible, to connect it with the history of a great social organization. The complex of estates of the Archbishop of Bordeaux was selected as the principal object of observation, but the economy of estates belonging to the Chapter of Saint-Andre of Bordeaux was also examined, and a good deal of material from other sources used for the purpose of illustration and comparison. With these limitations, the work was carried out under my supervision in the course of 1906-9. The aim was not, of course, to accumulate materials or to discuss points of interest from the point of view of local history. Nor was the subjection of Gascony to England during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the determining factor in planning the monograph on the above-mentioned lines.

This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mistakes of the Local Government Board and of Other "Authorities" In Poor Law Administration: Being a Memorandum Laid Before the Poor Law Commission IN the year 1906 I gave evidence before the Poor Law Commission, which will no doubt be published with their Report. Quite recently, I forwarded to the Commission the following Memorandum, but found that I had sent it too late for publication as part Of their Proceedings. I am therefore publish ing it independently; and am glad to be able to do so before the winter, as it is really essential, both for saving the lives of the Poor and protecting the health of the Nation, that the present Poor Law should be fully and faithfully carried out until better provision for the needs of the Poor and for the health of the Nation is made. The mistake of telling Guardians that their duty is only to relieve the destitute, instead of giving relief to the impotent poor which of course includes the sick poor who need it (see page 2) - is I believe inherited from the Old Poor Law Board; and the result is all the worse because the error is of such long-standing. In consequence Of this deceptive phraseology many Guardians are quite ignorant of their legal duties. Many of the Poor are equally ignorant of the right to relief which the Law gives them. This ignorance on both sides is, I think, one of the causes of the Starvation Deaths in the richest City Of the World 1, and of infinite damage to the Poor all over the kingdom. As to the surcharges for relief (see pp. 3, 4, the Nation has great cause to thank Mr. John Burns and his Auditors for detecting the frauds of a few Guardians, and the great extravagance, Of others in connection wit/z Contracts and Contractors; but the well-meaning Auditors, in their new-born zeal, have done much mischief in making surcharges, and trying to make surcharges, for relief given to the Poor. I wish to call special attention to the words of Sir Matthew Hale, Sir William Blackstone, and Sir George Nicholls (see pp. 2, 6-9, Our English Social System has been placed on ancient and strong foundations. Our English Law has strong claims on the Obedience of the people both rich and poor. It is surely the extreme of folly for the well-to-do classes to allow the foundations to be weakened by defective administration of that Law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Wreckage: A Review of the Laws of England as They Affect the Poor The Globe. There can be no question whatever that this thoughtful volume deals with several serious defects in our social system... That the administration of the law still remains too costly, that witnesses are often subjected to unjustifiable bullying, and that judicial and magisterial decisions frequently seem to be based upon the vicious principle that property is more sacred than the person to whom it belongs, cannot be gainsaid. We ourselves have commented, time after time, on these and other sores in the body politic, and we are glad, therefore, to obtain the co-operation of such a valiant and fearless fighter as Mr. Francis Peek. Pall Mall Gazette. No one who takes to heart the lessons of social failure and disorganization to be read daily in the reports of our police-courts and coroners' inquests, can be otherwise than grateful to Mr. Peek for his vigorous little work... It is an admirable summing-up of the share taken by unjust laws and faulty administrations in the manufacture of our criminals and paupers. The Metropolitan. We regret that we cannot follow Mr. Peek fully through his valuable work. It is most forcibly and convincingly written, and speaks fairly and honourably of the men who, as Guardians or officers, administer the present cut-and-dried Poor-Laws. He goes into the causes that tend to degrade the lower orders. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
