xvi. labour legislation and social statistics of sweden.
By private social activity there is certainly much accomplished — especially
from religious sources — but only the more characteristic and greater
undertakings have been treated here.
A Central League for social work was initiated in Stockholm during 1903,
the object of which is to arouse interest for and circulate knowledge about social
questions within the different classes, for the solution thereby of vital social
questions. This league is composed of societies or groups of societies working for
social development. It has instituted a social bureau of information in the capital,
where matters concerning social questions from various countries are collected and
elaborated, and where verbal or written information is given. In connection
herewith it is the intention to establish a lending and reference library especially
embracing social works. The Central League arranges lectures and discussions
on social and communal questions, and provides opportunity for a real social
education for persons who wish to devote themselves to social work.
