Author's Note
IN August, 1903, the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust was
founded by Mr. Andrew Carnegie for the uplifting of the working classes of
his native city. An account of the constitution and scope of the Trust is
given in the opening chapter, and it is therefore not necessary to refer to
these now in detail. The writer acted as secretary to the Trust until his
resignation in the autumn of last year, and the present volume is the result
of his study in both official and private capacities of the social
conditions of Dunfermline, and is put forward as containing a constructive
policy capable of being realised by the Carnegie Dunfermline Trustees. But
though the book is primarily concerned with Dunfermline, the author hopes it
may not be without interest and value to civic workers generally, since the
problems of Dunfermline are in a large measure the problems of many other
towns throughout the kingdom.
