SOCIAL ADMINISTRATION AND THE POOR LAWS |
238. CLARKE, John J. Social administration including the poor laws. Second edition. London. Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons Ltd. 1935. 776, lxxvi, 32p. Advts. Original green cloth. “The time has gone when the Poor Law system stood as the only bulwalk between the individual and destitution. The development of our modern system of local government and the recognition of the need for the provision of common services have led us to the establishment of specialized services, as, for example, in the spheres of public health, housing, education, health and unemployment insurance, and pensions.
Through the rates and taxes or through contributory schemes the community is now providing itself with essential services which it would be impracticable for the individual citizen to provide for himself and his family. “ Forward by Arthur Greenwood. The work is dedicated to Charles Booth, Robert Henry Lundie and William Rathbone “Pioneers of Social and Administrative reform.”
