SUMMARY OF LAWS '
; FOR DEPENDENT -CLASSES
. : Washington,; D,- Ck. July 81.--Th
specific; term . "pauper" is gradually
passing out of , use in . connection with
the poor; and thre has been a mark
ed change- in recent years in-the atti
tude, of the" state and -pfbHSr- toward
those" who are unable to prsvide- for
themselves, according to the summary,
of the state laws affecting the depend
ent classes in - the United states soon
to. be published 'by Director 'William
J. Harris,; of the Bureau of tfe Census
Department' of Commerce.: ; " . ... -The
Censua report for 1904:,v'an
outline ofi- . the - laws indicating th
kind and extent of outdoor relief fur
nished; the auspices under '"which it
has bee-n disbursed the' class of per
sons entitled to aid; the methods of
almshouso administration ' and "the
chief regulations governing them; the
treatment of destitute children; the
extent of state supervision of alms
houses, and in .genertil the pauper sta
tistics - of feach state. . In connection
with the report for 1910 this outline
was extended so as, to summarize all
laws affecting the dependent classes
up to .1.913, including not only, inmates
of poorhousea and those receiving
outdoor " -relle'f, but "dependent - chfl
dren, , the indigent and insane, the
feeble-minded, and .other defectives;
the sick, particularly those suffering
from : tuberculosis;, soldiers and sail
ors; and the blind and. the deaf, so
far as their education and training
involves special 1 care. ' ; .
"This summary states that in place
of the - speciflc term i "pauper" there
ae - now. 'used the general terms,
"po6r," "indigent," "dependent," ap
plicable to a great variety of persons;
the "pauper asylum" aiid ''poorh'ous?"
are. giving place to" infirmaries, hefs
3itais, and homes for the aged and
infirm. Ijisane - asylums are called
state -hospitals,'; state- charity with Its
almost - inevitable stigma is gradually
giving place to state aid. and it is
coming to be recognized that the mere
fact of inability to - support : oneself
does not involve necessarily any d
grace.
Thus the laws of the different states
affecting dependent, . neglected, and
delinquent children, almost invariably
contain the caution and - tho injunc
tion that ithey should . be interpreted
liberally to the exter that the child's
best interests may" be subserved, and
with this in view the child, except as
an infant. Is oxcluded from the alms
house and from the jail, especially in
association with criminals, and is to
be placed m a good home-or well-
conducted, institution; or, better ' still.
kept in its own home even if it costs
the state something In the form of a
mother's pension to keep it there. The
sick, are to be healed, not merely to
have their suffering alleviated; and
hospitals, sanatoriums, dispensaries.
etc, are being , organised on every
hand tor the benefit of tho"se-who-oth
rwiea would fail of receiving the best
nursing as well as medical treatment
in the - homes this is coming to vbe
recognized as part of the duty of the
county and town authorities. , So also
with the insane the feeble-minded,
epileptic leper, inebriates, and eth
er's who -are -regarded-, not so much
as drags upon the Community who
must somehow -be,. taken care' of, tout
as unfortunates to whom the .'com
munity is .debtor foi- service, V
j , Stat-3- Boards of Charities. - ; ' "
; Thd first state Aboard of ' charities
was - organized in Massachusetts in
1 8 6.3, . for the purpose . of -supervising
the whole ; system - of state charitable
and correctional institutions. . - It.'is
significant - that .the only specification
and authorisation, in. that .act has to
do with paupers. - " Other states fol
lowed the example of : Massachusetts
and in 19 IS he number had reached
87. all with the same avowed purpose
-to secure. better care for those who
cfvn jioft care for. themselves and to
prevent waste In labor and expense
for the state, - - . . '
With this increase, .in the number
of state boards .of ..charities has come
more careful study, of conditions, in
volving" greater labor and heavier re
sponsibilities far 'beyond, the reach of
the voluntary, service, of .those, who
na otner. duties as well. It has also
become: apparent , that ' supervision of
charitable work, to'-be effective, must
be- accompanied y authority. In- soma
states,'- In . place . of. the. . .supervising
board, administrative . 'boards have
been established -whose -members - are
salrled .employes? of the, state govern
ment' and give their- whQle time to the
conduct" of. the, state . Institutions; in
others, supplementary, ;boards -have
been ; organised for the conduct of
Special departments., " " -
Private Imrtittitions. V
Still another change is found in the
attitude of the state toward private
charitable organizations. - In - the past
an orphanage or. a home fon the aged,
or' a rescue .mission, that asked ' no
public appropriation, permitted and
received no putfitc. ..supervision, but
stood practically on the same basis as
a private home, the castle of its own
er. All this is. passing, arid the- state
is coming to regard the inmates of a
charitable institution as' havfng a
claim upon Its watch and care super
ior to the claim of the proprietor.. In
most states' the . state authorities are
Btill .debarred from investigation 'ex
cept 'on specific request or complaint,
tout a few place private' as well as
bublic institutions on the same ; footing,-
while certain institutions, espe
cially home-finding associations., - in
stitutions - for the insane, materially
hospitals, and the like, are are'not al
lowed toj receive inmates at sXS ex
cept as - they receive -a - license -.from
some state authority. s ;:
L , The summary' of the laws -In the dif
ferent states' affecting' the' dependent
classes follows this general scheme:
Under the . heading ; of "Administra
tive and supervisory agencies," there
are two ; classes, public, and' private.
The public . agencies ; are-:- subdivided
Into- (1: 'general, - Including - state
board of - charities, , control, etc ; ( 2 )
institutional, , including -' institutions
state-wide in scope .and supported 'by
state funds but. : under independent
board of trustees or-directors; (3) lo
cal, including -countyahd i town -6fn-cers.
Under . private agencies are in
cluded institutions ' not . under state
control though sometimes . receiving
state aid. ..- t ' - -. . ': . . ; ., ; - ..
Included tinder Jhe general head
ing "Poor relief" 'are the two "subdi
visions of conditions of - 'relief and
methods of relief. Under Conditions
of relief "are, (1) persons'" entitled to
relief; (2) legal , settlement; (3) re
sponsibility of relatives. Under meth
ods, of relief are '(1) institutional re
lief (poorhouses, etc.); 2). outdoor
reilief. ,- . .' r ' . .
Included under the general division
"Classes - receiving ' special care" are
1) children (juvenile courts, boards
of guardians, adoption; home-flnding,
etc.; (2) the sick-,fin" poorhou.ses, in
families, tubercular patients, etc.);
(3) the blind and deaf ; state institu
tions, : industrial education etc.) ; (4)
the insane (laws governing the care
of indigent Insane); ,(5) . the feeble
minded (epileptics, . inebriates', .etc.);
(6) soldiers, sailors and marines. '
