Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Aged Poor The Report of the Royal Commission on the Aged Poor has given for various reasons so little satisfaction that I venture to publish the present volume. I have followed to a great extent the scheme of the Digests of the Evidence taken before the Labour Commission, in letting the witnesses before the Commission speak for themselves. No student of labour problems can afford to neglect the researches of Mr. Charles Booth, whose work in this case replaces that generally done by Assistant Commissioners. In dealing with his book on the Aged Poor, I have departed from the plan adopted in dealing with his own and similar works in the publications of the Labour Commission. I have given only a short sketch of the points in which the work supplements that of the Aged Poor Commission, and in so doing, I have rearranged many of his tables to bring out these points. If this little book only serves to promote a careful study both of the Blue-books under review, and of Mr. Booths large volume, which must rank with the Bluebooks, I shall be content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aged Poor in England and Wales IN the following notes on the condition of the Aged Poor in England and Wales, I have tried to bring together and arrange for ready reference and comparison all the oficial statistics which bear on the question. With these statistics, and deductions drawn from their comparison, are collated reports from local authorities in all parts of the country. The great importance of these comparisons arises from the fact that, as regards the treatment of the old, the Poor Law and regulations of the Local Government Board leave the most complete liberty of administration. Never was there a law less peremptory and exact in its pre scriptions. That no one who is willing to ask assistance shall be allowed to die of want is, practically, its sole assertion. It does not even give any right to relief, but grips the question solely by making neglect (if any serious consequences ensue) a criminal offence for those responsible for the execution of the law. As regards the able-bodied there are, indeed, regulations which have the force of law, prescribing the terms on which relief may be given but for those who are not able bodied, and these include almost all the old, each Board of Guardians is at liberty to adopt its own rules and to change them at will, or to act without any rules at all. Each Board is free to give any sum it may think fit as out relief;free to construe destitution as it pleases free to make what arrangements it thinks right for the maintenance and comfort of the inmates of the workhouse. The Local Government Board has to be referred to as regards the appointment, remuneration, or dismissal of officers and other matters, but any interference exerted by the central authority is rather of the nature of insisting on a minimum provision being made. Existing buildings must not be over crowded; the plan of new buildings must be approved; the dietary scale must be submitted and must be suficient, &c. The result of so much freedom of action is an extra ordinary diversity of administration, only afiected by the personal influence of the Government Inspectors, who have large districts under their supervision. The first duty of the Inspectors is to see that the destitute are not neglected; but they find no less important work to do in safeguarding the independence of the poor by inculcating sound principles of relief, and seeking by good advice to check any demoralizing extravagance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Age Pensions and the Aged Poor: A Proposal In a previous volume* I brought together such facts as I had been able to collect as to the condition of the Aged Poor in England and \vales and I promised to deal later with proposals for their relief. Meanwhile, we have had the Report of the Royal Commission on the subject, and also that of a Committee of the House of Lords appointed with the Special object of carrying the question to a more definite conclusion. These reports yield only a negative result in so far as they neither approve of any of the schemes submitted, nor themselves suggest any other as more practical but, on the other hand, both reports recog nize the existence of a state of things which still cries for remedy. More recently Bills for the establishment of pensions in old age have been presented to Parliament, and ion more than one occasion have been carried by large majorities on second reading while the question of cost has been referred to and reported on by an important departmental committee representing the Government offices chie y concerned in any such contemplated measures; the heavy cost being regarded as the main obstacle, and by many as the only objection, to these proposals. In the present volume (first published in 1899) I brie y recapitulate the facts and sketch the measure I should myself suggest. The work above referred to concluded with a summary of the facts and deductions therefrom, and part of this I ven ture to repeat by way of introduction to the present volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poor in Great Cities: Their Problems and What Is Doing to Solve Them The conditions are quite different now. Awakening is not needed. Every thinking man has thoughts upon this matter. And along with this realization has come practical experiment, in many places and on an immense scale, toward a solution. Americans especially are to be congratulated on the fact that they receive the question, at the moment when the conditions of their large cities begin to make it vital to them, with much of the light of older ex perience upon it, and (even with the peculiar difficulties with which unrestricted immigration complicates it) in by no means its most hopeless form. It is at our doors; but not in a shape, if we recog nize fully its difficulties and take hold of it in earnest, where we may not hope to prevent its dominating us in any sense. Te have Mulberry Street tenements and Hell's Kitchens, sporadic and the growth of a generation or two; it is largely our own affair whether we shall some time have tom-all-alones as a permanent institu tion, or the century-old sediment of Whitechapel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Poverty: An Inquiry Into the Industrial Condition of the Poor The object of this volume is to collect, arrange, and examine some of the leading facts and forces in modern industrial life which have a direct bearing upon Poverty, and to set in the light they afford some of the suggested palliatives and remedies. Although much remains to be done in order to establish on a scientific basis the study of "the condition of the people," it is possible that the brief setting forth of carefully ascertained facts and figures in this little book may be of some service in furnishing a stimulus to the fuller systematic study of the important social questions with which it deals. The treatment is designed to be adapted to the focus of the citizen-student who brings to his task not merely the intellectual interest of the collector of knowledge, but the moral interest which belongs to one who is a part of all he sees, and a sharer in the social responsibility for the present and the future of industrial society. For the statements of fact contained in these chapters I am largely indebted to the valuable studies presented in the first volume of Mr. Charles Booth's Labour and Life of the People, a work which, when completed, will place the study of problems of poverty upon a solid scientific basis which has hitherto been wanting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poverty It should be said that the book is not a scientific or exhaustive study, endeavoring to deal with all of the conditions, causes, and problems of poverty. Mr. Charles Booth in his study of London has ap proached most nearly to such a work, and it required several large volumes to print the results. It is unnecessary to say that this book is a much more modest undertaking. It is first of all a personal narrative, telling of things seen while living among the poorest of the working people and among the most degraded elements in several cities of this country and abroad. It makes public certain notes concerning the misery, the wretchedness, the sorrow, and the hopelessness of old neighbors, many of whom are friends and acquaintances. It is not.
