    Beginning Concepts of Social Welfare

     A Common chest (1520)


    The prototype of the modern day community chest.
    Martin Luther conceived that there should be a
    “common chest” for the receipt of food, money and
    clothing to assist the needy. The responsibility for the
    collection of funds and the distribution of relief to the
    destitute, the sick and orphans was assumed by local
    authorities, but the church wardens played the leading
    role in relief administration.

     Individualization
    During the 16th century the Spanish philosopher Juan
    Luis de Vives advanced the idea that the fate of the
    individual poor deserved attention. There should be
    investigation of the social condition of every pauper
    family. He recommended that aid be provided through
    vocational training, employment and rehabilitation
    instead of the customary distribution of alms.

     Hamburg Experiment (1788)


    Professor Busch, Commissioner for Public Relief
    introduceda district system of investigation and
    distribution of relief to individual paupers through
    volunteer committees. The poor were interviewed and
    the individual needs of each family were determined.
    Children and youth were trained in elementary courses
    and an industrial school was attached to the central
    orphans asylum.
