Description:Excerpt from The Road Upward: Three Hundred Years of Public Welfare in New York StateWe have freed ourselves from many of the prejudices and shortcomings of the past, but many more still remain with us. Our predecessors have much to teach us; we are inspired by their achievements and sobered by their failures. We can follow those paths they blazed that lead toward progress, wecan try to avoid the pitfalls that lie along the way. A rich tradition has been handed down to our generation, and we should try to rediscover it and to cherish it as a torch lighting the way to further progress.We are justly proud of the progressive tradition built up in the State Board of Social Welfare since its establishment, by such leaders in social service as John V. L. Pruyn, Theodore W. Dwight, William Pryor Letchworth, Josephine Shaw Lowell, Stephen Smith, Oscar Craig and William Rhinelander Stewart. The road upward has been a difficult one; but the climb has not been undertaken in vain. We have not yet reached the summit; but we can hope for the future because we base the present upon the lessons of the past.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
