| Description |
In order to establish a working basis for my thesis on Charities and Corrections, I have given a brief historical survey of charity, and a general summary of methods of relief employed in a number of European Countries-France, Germany, and England, as well as examples of relief work in various states of our union. By means of comparison of methods employed elsewhere I hope to more clearly present the problem of Charities and Corrections in our own state. The major part of my thesis is confined to the conditions in Utah, the information having been gained by social field work--visiting charitable institutions,--and having personal conversations with social workers, charity clerks, and health officers. My purpose in dealing with the important questions of Charities and Corrections is to promote and stimulate more public recognition, investigation and co-operation of charity and charity organization work in Utah. |
