Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports to the General Assembly of Illinois, 1885, Vol. 4 The powers of the State commissioners of ublic charities are restricted to the right to inspect the premises, t e inmates and the records; to ask questions, under oath, if necessary; to make sug gestions; and to give information and counsel; at their discretion, to the legislature and the governor. The special function of a State board of charities is to make comparisons, to criticise and to advise. To enable it to do its work, it must have power to prescribe the forms of financial and other statistical returns to be made by the institutions, to examine accounts and vouchers, and to inquire into everything connected with the management of the institutions. It must be authorized, on the one hand, to inform itself thoroughly as to the care of the unfortunate by the counties, and, on the other hand, to learn the methods adopted by other States, in order to the introduction of improved methods at home. For this purpose a certain amount of visitation of institutions outside of the State is essential. The organization of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections has been a great aid to us in this respect, by wid ening our outlook and bringing us more directly into contact with our co-laborers throughout the country, thus enabling us to' profit by their experience. As will be seen, our work is professional. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
