dc.description.abstract | At the end of 1906 the Vice-regal Commission on Poor
Law Reform in Ireland presented its Report and issued a
statistical appendix and a volume of evidence running into
a thousand closely printed double columns. Three years later
a Royal Commission appointed to review the Poor Law of
the United Kingdom issued a Majority Report and a Minority
Report, and is now in course of publishing some forty volumes
of appendices dealing with every phase of public assistance
to the poor. Without pretending to have read the whole of
this vast material, or to have entirely mastered the details
thereof, I wish to invite your attention to the main practical
proposals placed before us, and the theories of pauperism by
which they are supported. I think it is important that
we should reach some understanding of the theories before
discussing the proposals. We all bring to the study of the
Reports certain views?firmly or loosely held?of legal,
economic, and moral dependence. | en |
