Abstract
The State Department of Social Welfare integrates and directs the general statewide welfare program, including three assistance categories (old age assistance, aid to the blind, aid to dependent children), and child welfare services. It sets general standards, and through a field staff, keeps in touch with and helps the county welfare departments, which exist in every county for the purpose of giving direct service to people living within the county and receiving applications for assistance. Emphasis is placed on services which will prevent personal or family breakdowns, and restore those who have had serious difficulty to normal life as soon as possible.
