Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Child-Welfare Special: A Suggested Method of Reaching Rural Communities The lack of resistance shown by our country boys in the cantonments and under forced physical strain, and the reports of recognized authorities as to the relative prevalence of defects among rural as compared with urban children, are too significant to be ignored. Rural studies made by the Children´s Bureau point also to the fact that the country child, in spite of his many natural advantages, is laboring under a handicap which it is possible to remove. The very isolation which theoretically protects rural children from many ills renders difficult and expensive that skilled advice which every mother needs in the rearing of her family. To a large extent this is being secured for the city mother, but individual States and the Federal Government are concerned with the problem of bringing to the mothers of country children (who comprise three-fifths of the children in the United States) a reasonable amount of help, and of insuring to the 18,000,000 girls and boys living in rural areas a fair chance of growing into happy, useful citizens. With this end in view the Children´s Bureau is trying the experiment of a movable child-welfare station, which can take to the rural districts a certain amount of instruction and, it is hoped, create a demand for more. It is possible also that this experiment may furnish a practical suggestion to States wishing to give their own rural populations similar help. In the Children´s Year campaign, carried on during the war under the direction of the Children´s Bureau and the Council of National Defense, traveling "Specials" of one sort or another were tried by a number of organizations as a means of reaching the rural child. Reports of these specials indicated that they were an exceptionally fine educational medium. It was said of a truck used in Cleveland, Ohio, and the surrounding towns: The Children´s Special caused people in all walks of life to think about baby conservation.
