Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the fifty-second annual meeting of the Association of Directors of the Poor, Charities and Corrections of Pennsylvania. Held in Hazleton, Pennsylvania in October of 1927, this gathering of charitable figures discussed such matters as: the work of the state's Department of Welfare, the care of chronic cases of tuberculosis, the custodial care of the feeble-minded, and the importance of providing legal aid to mentally ill patients. The book also contains memorials for three members of the association who had died in the previous year, as well as the treasurer's report, and discussion of issues such as legislation, publicity, and the association's place and officers for the coming year. This book provides a glimpse into the history of charitable work in Pennsylvania in the early 2oth century, and explores themes such as the tension between the care of the needy and the efficient use of public funds, and the importance of reforming how society treats the most vulnerable among us.
