Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Journal of Diseases of Children, Vol. 26: 1923 Through the courtesy of the trustees of a semicharitable institution for children of both sexes, we have had the opportunity to make observations for thirty-one months on the growth and nutrition of the children who were inmates. The data obtained have furnished some very interesting statistics on the growth and general condition of children living under institutional conditions. The Institution The institution was a Roman Catholic home and school for poor children, conducted by Sisters of a French order. During the first twenty months of our study, it was housed in an old-fashioned building occupying plot about 100 feet square in the heart of the uptown business section of New York, which had been its home for over fifty years. This building was surrounded by tall office buildings, which cut off from it much light and fresh air. It was, therefore, dark and rather gloomy, though scrupulously clean. The refectories and kitchen were in the basement, requiring artificial light. The schoolrooms and dormitories were on the upper floors and had light on at least one side. The children were divided according to age into three groups for each sex. They slept in dormitories accommodating from twenty to thirty children each. Each child had a separate cot. The bathing facilities consisted of shower baths and wash bowls. The playgrounds, one for the boys and one for the girls, consisted of two small yards in the rear of the building, enclosed by high brick walls, the size of each being about 30 by 30 feet. A summer home in the country was maintained where each child spent one month, some of the children going in July and the rest in August. A few who where in special need of the vacation were allowed to remain through the two months. In January, 1922, the institution was removed to a country estate about 30 miles from New York.
