Mothers Pensions
Cure for Poverty
Former Juvenile Court Judge De Lacy Says Charity
Problems Would Thus Be Solved-Dr. Charles
Swisher of g. w. IT, Favors Pension Plan.
BY FLORENCE E. YODER.

Mothers pensions would solve seven-eighths of the
charity problems and poverty in the United States
A comparison of the facts involved in the presenta-
ton of the opportunities of the charitable organization
suits in this conclusion The purpose of the opportunity
IS to prevent poverty
More than that per cent of the opportunities printed
for the purposes of charity in the papers of the United
States by the charitable organizations ask for certain sums
necessary for the temporary upkeep of families in order
that the home may be preserved.
The purpose underlying mothers pension laws active
in several States in the Union is that of preventing the
breaking up of the home when on account of death or
disability, the support of the natural breadwinner of the
family is removed.
In the opinion of DR.. Charles Clinton Swisher, pro-
ftssor of history at George Washington University and
Judge William De Lacy former Judge of the Juvenile
Court the only plausible remedy required for the evident
sore spot in our social life, is mothers pensions
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1914-12-21

only the test cases. the proof OF the
lions as unit in public life, which
can be gained in no other school.
What Is Presented.
The Christmas opportunity in Its
present form is the elimination OF the
systematic attempt on the part OF
the charities to make money go as
far as II can in mitigating poverty,
crime. and death.
1T therefore presents in compact the
case of poverty in the United States
as il stands today. and asks for the
most intelligent and evidently con-
elusive remedy, a pension for the
mother for the period of a year OF
more.
I'm several States we already have
mothers pensions and they are doing
the work OF home conservation and
citizen building. They are a success.
But other States have shown the need
of such pension laws. When all States
make the demand for the same thing.
does il not seem that here is case
