Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Children´s Year: A Brief Summary of Work Done and Suggestions for Follow-Up Work The Children´s Year campaign was formally inaugurated on April 6, 1918, the beginning of the second year of this country´s participation in the war. The campaign was carried on in cooperation with the Child Conservation Section of the Field Division of the Council of National Defense as a distinct war measure. European experience showed that war-time conditions affect children adversely, even disastrously, and that the protection of its children is a primary essential to a nation at war. It also demonstrated that even under these conditions determined effort can accomplish much toward shielding children from the effects of war. The Children´s Bureau, therefore, felt that it could offer no more valuable contribution to the country during the war than to assist in stimulating and coordinating public and volunteer effort for child welfare and to put its experience at the service of the Council of National Defense and other agencies undertaking work in behalf of children. The importance of this campaign as a war measure was immediately recognized. In a public letter, President Wilson expressed his conviction that such work was "second only in importance" to supplying the immediate need of the combatants. Organization. The Woman´s Committee of the Council of National Defense offered full cooperation through its Child Welfare Department (later known as the Child Conservation Section of the Field Division), whose executive chairman was Dr. Jessica B. Peixotto, of the University of California. In January, 1919, Dr. Peixotto was obliged to return to the University of California and was succeeded by Mrs. Ina J. N. Perkins. This department worked with untiring zeal in carrying out the program outlined as follows in the Fifth and Sixth Annual Reports of the Children´s Bureau: 1. Public protection of maternity and infancy. 2. Mothers´ care for older children. 3. Enforcement of child-labor laws and free schooling for all children of school age. 4. Recreation for children and youth, abundant, decent, protected from any form of exploitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
