The Formation of Charity Organization Societies in Smaller Cities

This pamphlet, published in 1910, aims to serve as a guide for a better and more beneficent organization of social service work in the United States, combating the neglect of bad social conditions and aimless charitable activity. It provides a detailed analysis of social conditions in smaller cities, with a wealth of practical advice and illustration.

FRANCIS H. McLEAN was field secretary of the Charity Organization Department of the Russell Sage Foundation.
