Excerpt from Report of the Commission Appointed to Inquire Into the Expediency of Revising the System of Administration of the Public Charities of the Commonwealth: December, 1877
We have confined ourselves, in our investigations, entirely to the system of public relief, as administered by the State in its several institutions. We have felt that this was a subject that should be most carefully considered, that all its imperfections and inconsistencies should receive the utmost care, and any changes should be only for the best of reasons and for the highest interests of the State.
