Annotation

Mostly a reform scheme centered on the Salvation Army but includes the transformation of society through a series of city, farm, and overseas colonies. The city colonies were designed to get the poor off the streets. A factory in the city helped train them to work, and the city colony sent people to the farm colony which consisted of a cooperative farm and industrial and agricultural villages. These were then expected to send people to the overseas colonies. Some such schemes were established; see and Norman H Murdoch, “Anglo-American Salvation Army Farm Colonies, 1890-1910.” Communal Societies 3 (Fall 1983): 111-21; and Clark C. Spence, The Salvation Army Farm Colonies. Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1985. For an attack on the Salvation Army, see 1890 Pope Booth.
