The Provident Association

I found a paragrah in the History of Jackson County, Missouri regarding the "idea" of a provident association.  "The idea ....arose for relief of the worthy poor."

I am curious how they were able to determine whom the "worthy poor" were.  Every genearation has its freeloaders--who want something for nothing.  It makes us skeptical when people ask for money.  I guess nothing has really changed.
