Excerpt from Biennial Report of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare: July 1, 1930 to June 30, 1932Necessarily, progress in any public movement is slow. For this reason, we feel gratified that the social program in North Carolina has been carried forward to the extent we have witnessed in the past two years.Changing economic conditions in this country have produced violent social maladjustments in recent years. Millions of people have been thrown out of employment. Deprived of the privilege of earning their daily bread, they have turned to organized charity for aid in their distress. Thus it has happened that social work has taken on a new importance. It has served as the safety valve, as it were, for the country. Its responsibilities have increased many times as new clients have appealed for help. The people who have continued to draw sustaining incomes have been aroused to a new social consciousness. Aware of their duty as their brother's keeper, they have given generously of their means. Usually they have turned to organized charity to serve as intermediary between the public and the poor. Some times they have dispensed their own relief, whether or not this was a wise procedure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
