Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Danish Poor Relief System: An Example for England

This is a subject on which for years past there has been practically but one opinion in Denmark, even among politicians; and in 1891 two laws were passed, the Poor Law Reform Bill and the old-age Relief Bill, for the express purpose of ensuring that every destitute person in the kingdom should, so far as possible, be dealt with according to his merits. To these measures very special interest is attached, owing to the fact that they are the first systematic attempt on the part of latter-day legislators to discriminate between paupers and paupers.

Excerpt from The Danish Poor Relief System: An Example for England

The Danish Poor Relief system is a combination of expedients skilfully devised for securing to the destitute the treatment they individually merit. Latter-day Danes have no sympathy whatever with the all-round-equality method of dealing with paupers: as a matter of principle they object to the clubbing together of the poof of all degrees. The world would stand aghast, they argue, were all criminals, men who throw bombs and men who steal bread, to have passed on them the same sentence. Why then should all paupers, no matter how worthy or how worthless, be condemned to the same treatment, be placed on the same level, be forced to share the same home?
