In the 1880s, social reform leaders warned that the "unworthy"
poor were taking charitable relief intended for the truly
deserving. Armed with statistics and confused notions of evolution,
these "scientific charity" reformers founded organizations intent
on limiting access to relief by the most morally, biologically, and
economically unfit. Brent Ruswick examines a prominent national
organization for scientific social reform and poor relief in
Indianapolis in order to understand how these new theories of
poverty gave birth to new programs to assist the poor.
