Scope & Content |
A hand-written essay by Caroline Emmerton titled, "The Use and Abuse of Charity." In it, Emmerton discusses different perspectives on charity from some early concepts to modern-day examples, using a few anecdotes. She then goes on to describe the Settlement Charity Association and its aims. Often, Emmerton claims, people in need ask for one thing but really require another, and it is in society's best interest for charitable organizations to discover the true needs of people and address them. |
