Synopsis

A historical record of the Sixteenth Annual Conference of Charities and Correction This volume collects the proceedings from the 1889 San Francisco session, including official reports, papers, and full discussions that shaped late 19th‑century charity work in the United States.

The book provides a window into how reformers organized charities, studied state and district systems, and debated approaches to dependent children, the insane, and the feeble‑m minded. It also offers state reports, minutes from multiple sessions, and practical recommendations for improving public welfare institutions. The content is documentary in tone, aiming to inform researchers and practitioners about the era’s calls for better care and administration.




  • Preface and scope of the conference, with notes on attendance and future sessions

  • Extensive state reports, discussions, and reforms across child care, prisons, hospitals, and boards of charity

  • Papers and committee reports on organization, policy, and emerging approaches to reformatories and mental health

  • Minutes of sessions and circulars that guide ongoing work in charity administration



Ideal for readers interested in social welfare history, late‑19th‑century reform movements, and the evolution of public assistance in America.
