Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. An exploration of the state of blind welfare in the UK in the early 1920s, this book compares the lives of the blind in 1918, before government grants were paid, with the developments that have taken place in the years up to and including 1924. Counties Associations have been re-vitalised, leading to a vastly improved network of correspondents and home-teachers, as well as many new services being created, including a range of new employing agencies, workshops, and home-working schemes. The author discusses the vexed question of augmentation, and explores the relative merits of different systems, as well as the problems of production costs and the disposal of finished goods. The book also examines the virtues and limitations of local authority and voluntary provision and suggests that, while local government has an important part to play, voluntaryism remains the best guarantee for the efficient and sympathetic discharge of welfare duties, exploring different models of good practice.
