Mr. Id W, Armstrong succeeded Mr. Walter V. McCarthy on April 5, 1939 and (.1 as commissioner until Octoher 11, 1940 when the present commissioner! office There is therefore heing submitted as a part of the annual report Mr. Armstrong's report to the Governor describing the work done during his' term of office. Since the present commissioner took office, he has been carrying out the poli- and the reorganization of public welfare in this Commonwealth initiated by Mr. Armstrong. Until the end of the year there were very few changes in per- sonnel because the various examinations had not been completed, and the present commissioner has been particularly concerned with the new laws enacted by the last Congress amending the Social Security Act, and the rules and regulations pertaining to those laws established by the Social Security Board. These have referred particularly to the establishment of a merit system which, under the amendment enacted by Congress, would become effective on January 1, 1940. The Department of Public Welfare appreciates the assistance which has been given by the several advisory committees of the Massachusetts Relief Officers Association, the Western Massachusetts Public Welfare Association, and the Massachusetts Selectmen's Association. The department also appreciates the advice and help given by various persons qualified to give advice in regard to setting up qualifications for the new positions in the department. The department also wishes to pay tribute to the fine spirit shown by officials in the local boards of public welfare in connection with the reorganization plans for public welfare in the Commonwealth. October 4, 1939 The Honorable Leverett Saltonstall Governor., Massachusetts My dear Governor On April 5 last, I took office as Commissioner of Public Welfare under your appointment, and with instructions to reorganize the Department with particular reference to the Division of Aid and Relief. My leave of absence from my Worcester work has expired and I have sub- mitted my resignation. I make the following report. 1. The Division of Aid and Relief has been changed from a partly super- visory and partly case investigating organization to a completely supervis- ! ory one, which, in addition, is giving a leadership, guidance, and informa- tional service. The administration of relief, including case investigations, has been turned back to boards of public welfare and old age assistance boards throughout the state, as a local function. The Division was attempting the impossible job of direct supervision of •n hundred relief cases per State Visitor, and of investigating forty thousand new cases every year. Its visitors were duplicating the investiga- tions and re-investigations made by the social workers of local boards of ic welfare, and in many cases they made original investigations. There a duplication of responsibility. The officials and the visitors of the Di- had al no time for much leadership and guidance in the improvement of local relief administration. pidly as possible, the State Department is withdrawing completely tro: investigating and personal contacts with relief recipients. Local 1. 1. boards of public welfare and old age assistance boards are expected to make adequate investigations, keep proper records, and administer relief in ac- cordance with policies and procedures established by the Department. The State Department is basing its decisions as to reimbursement to local welfare boards out of state funds, and its approval of Federal grants, on minimum information in each case obtained by local boards and verified by appropriate evidence. All new cases must be approved for state reimbursement and Federal grants by a visitor of the State Department. His approval will include eli- gibility, need, and the amount of assistance allowed. The Department however will make no attempt to impose a state standard of relief on cities and towns. It will approve allowances when not exces- sive. Old and continuing cases will be reviewed as rapidly as possible. State Department visitors have the authority to discontinue approval in state re- imbursement and Federal grants when relief is no longer needed, or when the allowance is excessive. On the basis of this review process, the State Visitor will advise local welfare and old age assistance boards as to policies and procedures. Visitors will also make reports to the supervisors of the Division concerning the op- eration of local boards. We believe that it is no longer necessary for towns and cities to employ outside experts to make studies of the operations of welfare boards. While the Department's supervisory powers extend only to unsettled gen- eral relief cases, and old age assistance, and aid to dependent children cases, its leadership and guidance to local boards of public welfare will be extended in entirely local cases to the degree that local boards desire it. 2. The Division of Aid and Relief has been completely reorganized to pro- vide one generalized supervision and service to local welfare and old age assistance boards. The Division, heretofore, was organized into three subdivisions, each dealing separately with a single category of relief. State Visitors of all three visited each local board. They even duplicated each other's investiga- tions in one family. There was much duplication of time, of travel and expense. Conflicting information and advice was given to local officials. These subdivisions have been abolished. Now only one visitor of the Division is responsible for giving advice and information to each welfare and old age assistance board. Each visitor is supervising the administration of relief in all three categories: general re- lief, old age assistance, and aid to dependent children cases. The efficiency of the Division has been increased, the waste of time and money has been eliminated, and a better service is being given to local officials. 3. Seven supervisory districts have been established after a painstaking study of case loads and other factors. There is a staff of visitors in each District under the direction of a District Supervisor. District offices have been opened in Springfield, Worcester, Lawrence, Medford, Brockton, New Bedford, and Boston. Hitherto the supervision of the visitors of the Division was unsatisfactory because it was remote and also because there were too few supervisors. Now there is a close and almost daily contact between District Super- visors and visitors. A system of daily reports has been established. Periodic conferences of the whole staff in each district are

    Fitchburg Art Museum in Partnership : with Fitchburg State University Presents: February 9 - June 1, 2014 Table of Contents 1 Foreword 3 Acknowledgments 5 A Word From The Artist 7 Introduction 9 JeFFu’s FFantastic FFunhouse Exploring Galleries 13 Experimental Performance 23 Playing With Your Food 51 Falling Into A Digital Paradise 19 Rethinking The Motion Picture 91 Exhibition Checklist 95 Biography 103 Bibliography Foreword: Jeffu Warmouth: NO MORE FUNNY STUFF is the first solo exhibition in the Fitchburg Art Museum’s new series of shows devoted to contemporary New England artists. It’s fitting – and important – to begin with Jeffu, because he is Fitchburg’s best-known contemporary artist. His work has been shown across the United States, and abroad, and he has been a vital participant in the regional visual arts community for two decades. This exhibition also reflects the deepening relationship between AMF and Fitchburg State University as we work together to create enhanced artistic and educational experiences for Fitchburg State students and FAM’s audience. A show as complex as Jeffu Warmouth: NO MORE FUNNY STUFF would have been impossible for FAM to achieve alone. Fitchburg State contributed the hard work and creativity of its faculty and students in myriad ways, provided technology and IT support, and invested funds in the exhibition. In return, their students enjoyed a real professional challenge while developing career-boosting portfolio materials. This pilot collaboration worked so well, that it will be continued for future shows at FAM. I would like to thank Fitchburg State President Robert Antonucci for his generosity of spirit and resources, and Professor Rob Carr for his vision and passion.

Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 42, 2013 111 Applying Concepts from Historical Archaeology to New England’s Nineteenth-Century Cookbooks Anne Yentsch This article describes a study of New England cookbooks as a data source for historical archaeologists. The database for this research consisted of single-authored, first-edition cookbooks written by New England women between 1800 and 1900, together with a small set of community cookbooks and newspaper advertisements. The study was based on the belief that recipes are equivalent to artifact assemblages and can be analyzed using the archaeological methods of seriation, presence/absence, and chaîne opératoire. The goal was to see whether change through time could be traced within a region, and why change occurred; whether it was an archetypal shift in food practice, modifications made by only a few families, change that revolved around elite consumption patterns, or transformations related to gender and other social forces unrelated to market price.

    Emersonian : [Emerson College Yearbook]

    Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/emersonianemerso1950unse Charles Wesley Emersc FOUNDER foreword The (’lass of 1950 has seen and has par- ticipated in the significant growth which Emerson College has achieved daring the last four years. 1.9 the school increased its academic and labora- tory facilities, the students multiplied their extra- curricular activities. Student groups organized athletics, founded a debating society, and estab- lished a tunespaper that serves as an active voice of the students. The Class of 1950 produced many of the leaders of these groups and took the helm in much of the undergraduate organization. In preparing this, our college annual, we have tried to keep this recent Emerson advance in mind. We wanted our book to be, not only a permanent record of the growth of a class, but also a picture of Emerson itself. In photograph and in word we have made every effort to recapture the short segment of Emerson history of which we are a part. It is with these thoughts foremost in mind that we present the 1950 “Emersonian Dedication The only conclusive evidence of a man s sincerity is that he gives himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else, are comparatively easy to give away: hut when a man makes a gift of his daily life and practice, it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken possession of him. Lowell. For these reasons, so excellently expressed, and be- cause he has done so much for Emerson College with a cer- tain perfection and a personality embodying the finest in taste and culture, we dedicate the 1950 Emersonian to CHARLES W.

ELLIS, PRINTER, 141 FRANKLIN STREET, BOSTON -TONES FROM HUB ENGRAVING CO-, 36 COLUMBUS AVE., BOSTON PREFACE. Each Legislative Souvenir has its own special features of legislation and legislators to represent Fortunately the editor is not required to attempt any explanation of the differences he tinds in each Legislature. "His not to reason why." That is for the voters to pass upon. The Souvenir of 1897 is remarkable in that, for the first time, it represents an Executive Council composed wholly of Republicans. And it is still more remarkable, probably, in that this Council includes a Negro, one who was born a slave, but who, by the curious and in- tricate complications of modern politics in Boston, was elected by bis district as one of the constitutional advisers of the Governor. As it is quite improbable that the present generation will again see a Council wholly Republican or a Councillor of Negro blood, this Souvenir of 1897 will have a unique value in this respect at least. And this Councillor came and went among his fellows, iu all respects as though the accident of color made no shade of difference between them. The Legislature of 1S97, like most Legislatures, had one chief bill to pass upon, — that for a new Elevated Railroad for Iloston. The bill became law with no suspicion of improper action attaching to it in all its progress, even though almost untold millions were at stake.

The goal of this project was to help Housing Nantucket evaluate strategies and options for expanding the availability of affordable housing on Nantucket. Through case studies, interviews, literature reviews, and observations, we identified suitable parcels of land for affordable housing developments and examined innovative land use and green building methods for these parcels. i Authorship Page Haley Connelley, Matthew Henry, and Kristen Hughes all contributed equally to the research, writing, and editing that went into this project. ii Acknowledgements Our project could not have been completed without the help of many individuals, both on and off Nantucket. We would like to thank Housing Nantucket for their sponsorship, and Aaron Marcavitch, our liaison, for his help and support during the course of our project. We would like to thank Nathan Porter for providing us with crucial GIS data and for his technical support regarding the GIS software.
