Excerpt from The Development in England of a State System for the Care of the Disabled SoldierWhile the principal function of the local com mittee is to put into execution the plans of the Ministry of Pensions for the full care of the dis abled man, including any needed treatment or training, at the expense of the state, it may still at its discretion and from funds voluntarily subscribed supplement the aid of the state in cases of peculiar need and urgency. In this form the old sentiment that any state system would lack elasticity and that there might be cases of peculiar appeal to the principles of equity and humanity still lingers as a kind of appendage to a thoroughgoing government policy.Where the local committee was found to be too restricted territorially to make the most liberal provision for the training of a man in a variety of trades and occupations the forma tion of joint committees over a considerable area has secured the syndicating of the facilities for training. At the same time the interests of employers and workpeople have been safe guarded by the appointment of trade advisory committees by the joint action of the Ministries of Pensions and Labour. The adjustment of wages in any locality is facilitated by advisory wages boards appointed by the Ministry of Labour.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
