Item description from seller

217 pp. Some chipping to cloth of boards; contents clean and sound.Conference proceedings, divided into sections by session, each with 2-4 separate articles and discussion. Includes sessions titled "Conserving the Brain Power of the State," "Protective and Correctional Care of Juvenile Delinquents," "Prison Reform and Prison Management," "Public and Private Relief," and "Hospital Work in New Jersey." The Preface notes that this is "the first time in the history of the Conference that the question of financing our State institutions has been considered." Better funding methods for state institutions (then supported solely through "corporation taxes") are needed, as "public sentiment is demanding more adequate care of the tuberculous, insane and epileptic, as well as the defective, delinquent, and pauper classes.".
