Abstract
This research essay is an examination of the distribution
and administration of outdoor charitable relief by the Palmerston
North Hospital Board over the period 1925 to 1938. The intention
of this is to test certain comments made by historians concerning
the administration of outdoor relief in the pre-Welfare State era
in New Zealand. By examining relief administration in Palmerston
North this study will add to out understanding of social welfare
in a period that has not been investigated extensively. [From Introduction]
