Abstract

We begin this study on the premise that no apologies are necessary for discussing the subject of poor-relief in these days of confusion and distress. Five years of the so-called "depression" lie behind us, and in spite of all that has been attempted by public and private agencies to bring back normalcy, some twenty million of our fellow -citizens are still "on relief."
