The prevention of charitable aid should be developed, said the Minister of Health (Mr. Young)) at the Hospital Boards ’ Conference yesterday. Social welfare committees, he said, should study the cause of poverty in homes receiving relief, and large boards should consider the practicability of making provision for the vocational training of applicants for relief. They should do their best to depauperise the recipients of relief to fit them to earn their own living. Dr. Theodore Gray had been sent on a world tour to collect information on charitable relief in other countries, especially Sweden, which had the most advanced system in the world of preventive charitable relief.—(P.A.).
