Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Social Welfare Forum
National Conference on Social Welfare · 1919
42/100
👎 Skip It
This is a 1919 conference record for social work historians, not something families will curl up with. It has real value if you're researching Progressive-Era welfare policy, but there's no story here for a general reader.
