Book Description

Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Commission on Old Age Pensions: March, 1919 This volume marks the result of a task undertaken with some misgiving. When the Commission had been appointed the time allotted to the work had been lessened by several months. But, even with our limited period of activity, we feel that the result of our efforts is not at all discreditable. This is to a great extent due to the hearty efforts of those who engaged in the outdoor services, cov ering the field of investigation, and who have given us valuable data. We were also much aided by the employers of the State, by the stewards and managers of charitable institutions, a number of uni versity professors and the heads of the departments of the Federal and State Governments, to all of whom our thanks are due and tendered. The Commission wishes to give due credit to Mr. Abraham Epstein, the Commissions' Director of Research, for his excellent service in bringing out this report. He has directed the out-door investigations, compiled the results, and written the comments of this, our tenta tive accomplishment. Much credit is also due to the faithful services rendered by Mr. Anatole Feldman and Miss G. E. Maeder, the assistants in the office.
