HOUSE DOCUMENT, -
Reported with the new Pauper Law of 1874.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, April 30, 1874.
The Committee on Public Charitable Institutions, to whom was recommit- ted the bill for the more efficient relief of the poor, have carefully reviewed the whole subject, and sought such additional information as seemed desira- ble.
They find that any scheme for the relief of the poor, or any radical change in the laws of settlement, is beset with great difficulties, and is likely to be productive of more harm than good to those whom it is sought to benefit. They believe that it is safe to make haste slowly, and to test by experience the effect of moderate changes. If these prove successful further legislation can readily be had in the direction they indicate.
We therefore report a bill, in a new draft, which we explain as follows, premising that the main object thereof, in accordance with the prayer of the petitioners, is to make better provision for the unsettled poor :
First. It does not change existing settlements. Every settled person is to remain where he now belongs, until that settlement is defeated and a new one gained in the ordinary course of law.
Second. It does not interrupt or defeat any settlement in process of acqui- sition. This is to be completed, as before, under existing laws.
Third. It does not change the principles underlying the present laws, but merely adapts them to the exigencies of the present day, by shortening the time and lessening the number of taxes required for settlement.
Fourth. It gives all settled persons a fair and equal start, by allowing them to commence now to gain a new settlement under its provisions.
Fifth. It provides liberally for the unsettled by giving all a settlement who can show a continuous residence of five years and the payment of three taxes within that time, whether the residence and taxation be wholly before, or wholly after, or partly before and partly after its enactment.
Sixth. It relieves the most pressing claim brought to the attention of the legislature, by giving women a settlement of five years' residence, providing within that time they have been neither paupers nor criminals.
And finally, it exempts from its benefits the present state pauper inmates of the public institutions-to the end that no injustice may be done to any city or town.
It will be seen that the bill bears alike upon all the municipalities, by main- taining, as nearly as possible, the same proportion of residence and taxation as at present, and that the provisions of its third section obviate the danger of confusion, and the objections that would arise as between the towns on account of any sudden change.
The Committee deem it proper to add that the bill as reported has the unanimous sanction of the Board of State Charities, who agree that no fur- ther change is at present desirable.
For the Committee,
L. J. COLE.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-Four. AN ACT
For the more efficient Relief of the Poor.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives, in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows :
SECT. 1. Any person of the age of twenty-one years, who resides in any place within this State for five years together, and pays all state, county, city or town taxes duly assessed on his poll or estate for any three years within that time, shall thereby gain a settlement in such place.
SECT. 2. Any woman of the age of twenty-one years, who resides in any place within this state for five years together, without receiving relief as a pauper, shall thereby gain a settlement in such place. The first section of the three hundred and ninety-second chapter of the acts of eighteen hundred and seventy is hereby repealed.
SECT. 3. No existing settlement shall be changed by any provision of this act, unless the entire residence and taxation herein required shall have ac- crued after its passage ; but any unsettled person shall gain a settlement upon the completion of the residence and taxation herein required, though the whole or a part of the same may have accrued before the passage of this act.
SECT. 4. The provisions of this act shall not apply to any person who at the date of its passage shall be an inmate of either of the state lunatic hos- pitals, the asylum for insane and the state almshouse at Tewksbury, the state workhouse, or the state primary school, until such person shall have been duly discharged from said institution. [Approved, May 28, 1874.]
OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON THE NEW PAUPER LAW OF 1874.
The Board of State Charities asked the Attorney General of the Common- wealth for an interpretation of the first clause of the second section of this law. His response was as follows :
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, BOSTON, September 19, 1874.
To the Board of State Charities :
Prior to Acts of 1870, chapter 392, an unmarried woman could obtain a set- tlement only under the provisions of the General Statutes, chapter 69. By
85
OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
the Act of 1870, "any unmarried woman" obtained a settlement by a residence of ten years together, in any place, under certain conditions. By chapter 274, section 2, of the Acts of 1874, section 1 of chapter 392, Acts of 1870, is repealed, and a new provision substituted. The substitute changes the law of 1870 in three particulars; the effect of one only is material for me to consider under the question submitted by your Board for my opinion. In the Act of 1874, the word "unmarried" is omitted. The plain and obvious intention of the Legislature by this change of the law, is to so arrange the law of settle- ment as that women shall have the same rights irrespective of any condition of marriage. The language of the Act, taken in connection with the Act re- pealed, does not allow of any other construction, and the intention of the Legislature, if it can be ascertained, is to govern. In the present instance, the omission of the word "unmarried," and the use of the word "woman" only, makes it appear manifestly to have been the intention of the Legislature to use the word "woman" in the Act, so as not to be affected or modified by the condition of marriage; and in my opinion, no other construction can be given the act. The intention of the Legislature being manifest, no considera- tion of presumption can arise.
Yours very respectfully,
CHARLES R. TRAIN.

REPORT
OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE TRUANT SCHOOL.
Gentlemen of the City Council :-
THE Committee on the Truant School respectfully submit the following report for the year ending Nov. 30, 1875.
The laws under which this school was established, and the Rules and Regulations governing it may be found in the report of your Committee for the year 1872; and the observations of that report on the practical aims and workings of the school still hold good. Truancy from school, and idleness among boys in a city, are the fruitful parents of crime. What is expended in prevent- ing this evil will save many times the amount in punishing criminals a few years later. There can be no reasonable doubt that the Truant Officers and this school-by both its direct and its indirect influence-do as much, or more, for the public peace as ten policemen and a jail. It must be borne in mind that of thousands who are caught playing truant only tens go on far enough in the downward course to reach a conviction and sen- tence to this reformatory school. The influence of the school is therefore not confined to the tens ; it reaches each one of the thousands.
It is sad to notice that parents themselves are chiefly at fault when children go astray. In nearly every instance a little judi- cious care from the parents would prevent the evil with which this school has to deal. In some cases the parents themselves are morally delinquent; in other cases they are merely weak.
87
TRUANT SCHOOL.
The long history of a boy in school before he reaches the Truant School always shows numerous points at which parental authority could easily have arrested the progress in evil. In some cases the defence of a child from some fancied grievance in school has opened the way, which lands the child in this school.
The object of this school is purely reformatory. No disgrace attaches to it, as to a prison. Every boy who graduates here may be proud of his school if only he has reaped the full benefit it is designed to give and has been made studious and industrious. A majority of those who leave here, it is believed, show this character ; and no good teacher who receives one of them back into school will turn the cold shoulder to him or look upon him with any suspicion. He will rather be treated like the lost sheep found.
To show how necessary such a school is-and when it is smallest then it is strongest, having best accomplished its preven- tive mission-the following statistics are introduced :-
WORK OF THE TRUANT OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR.
Number of cases reported by teachers 2,775
Number returned to school 1,160

business. Several applications have been made from other towns to allow their truants to be sentenced to this school ; these were were refused, because there is no room for more than may be sent from our own city.
For this school a separate appropriation has always been made till the year just closed. There was a balance left from the previous year ; a transfer had to be made from a department of the accounts of the Overseers of the Poor. This school, though located at the City Farm, is no part of the pauper establishment, and should not be chargeable to it. We recom- mend for the present year an appropriation for the expenses of this school of $2,500.
The yearly financial statement is as follows :-

REPORT OF THE CITY PHYSICIAN.
To the City Council of the City of Worcester:
GENTLEMEN :- In accordance with the ordinance relating thereto, I herewith respectfully submit my Report as City Physician for the year 1875.
Owing to causes consequent upon general business depression, necessary idleness, and the evils resulting, the number of calls for my services has been large, although there has been no serious epidemic.
There has been one case of small-pox. After conference with the Board of Health, the patient, with his family of wife and one child, was removed, within a few hours, to the Small-Pox Hospital. The other inmates of the house were vaccinated, and the usual hygienic measures resorted to. The patient recovered, and no further cases followed. The disease was evidently imported from Montreal, where, a fortnight before, the patient had superintended the burial of a brother dead of small-pox.
At the Alms-House there has been little acute disease. Some of the oldest residents have died of chronic complaints.
During the year, the regular office hours for the vaccination of school children have been held twice weekly, at the office of the Superintendent of Schools.
The number of professional visits made has been six hundred and sixty-three (663). Of these, forty-one (41) were at the Alms- House, fourteen (14) at the Police Office. Ten (10) were cases of accouchement. Eighty three (83) office consultations have been given.

The City Hospital has been a great blessing to many destitute and friendless patients, though it has too often happened that applications for admission have been necessarily refused for lack of room, and I find cause for congratulation, therefore, in the additions now being made there.
My thanks are publicly due Dr. Ball and Dr. Peabody, for friendly assistance rendered me in the duties of my office during my recent illness.
Respectfully submitted.
