Book excerpt: Excerpt from Financial Federations: The Report of a Special Committee To The Executive Committee Of The American Association For Organizing Charity: Your Committee was appointed May 11, 1915, to study financial federations. Its members are as follows: W. Frank Persons, Chairman, Director of general work, New York Charity Organization Society William H. Baldwin, Member of the board of managers, Washington Associated Charities; Fred R. Johnson, Secretary, Boston Associated Charities; Eugene T. Lies, General superintendent, Chicago United Charities. For more than a year inquiries had been received by the Association in increasing number from people in cities in which the formation of financial federations was being considered. Up to date the question has been considered or is being considered in at least 48 cities, in addition to those in which federations have been organized. The general secretary of the Association felt himself unable to advise satisfactorily in regard to so complex a matter, and it was on his recommendation that the Committee was appointed. Our conclusions are presented on page 63. We believe that it has not yet been demonstrated whether the federation plan means a net social advance or the reverse, and our recommendation is against the adoption of the plan at present in other cities.
