Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life and Labour It seems almost necessary to offer an apology for a new book on the question of Child Life, since so many have been issued of late, but the special object of this series is, to afford information on social subjects, in a cheap and compact form, and in some respects this handbook will be found to supplement publications already in existence. So far as practicable, all statistics have been brought up to date, and all recent legislation has been included. The list of societies and bibliography will be found useful both to social workers and to students. I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to the British Institute of Social Service, for the Appendices; to Mr. E. Hayward, M.A., for the index; to Mr. G. P. Gooch, M.P., for reading the proofs; and especially to my husband for the large amount of assistance he has rendered me.

Download or read book Child Life in Prose Classic Reprint written by John Greenleaf Whittier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Prose It will be seen that a considerable portion of the volume is devot ed to autobiographical sketches of infancy and childhood. It seemed to me that it might be interesting to know how the dim gray dawn and golden sunrise of life looked to poets and philosophers; and to review with them the memories upon which the reflected light of their genius has fallen. I leave the little collection, not without some misgivings, to the critical, but I hope not unkindly, regard of its young readers. They will, I am sure, believe me when I tell them that if my own paternal claims, like those of Elia, are limited to dream children, I have catered for the real ones with cordial sympathy and tender solicitude for their well-being and happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life and Literature The aim of this book is to call the teacher's attention to the choice of material in literature best suited to the nature and needs of elementary school pupils. To this end a gen eral survey is made of the field of child psychology, and a course in reading and literature is developed in harmony with the dominant mental characteristics and natural ih terests of children. It is gratifying to notice a tendency on the part of educa tional authorities to enlarge the school curriculum in liter ature. School readers alone must fail to interest children in reading. Complete units should be presented instead of extracts. Every phase of child life should be reflected; and all material should possess true literary merit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Time Child-Life These truthful sketches have been written with a desire to turn the attention of young people to the charms of quiet country life. They are offered to those older boys and girls who, while still retaining a simple taste in reading, have ceased to be contented with verbal pap. So much impressed am I, however, with the dignity of oldtime rural life that I may, in treating of it, have sometimes talked over the heads of my desired audience. If, there fore, these experiences are told in a style too formal for the taste and capacity of the age for which they are designed, it will be partly because of such frame of mind, and partly because I have flattered myself that mothers may like to road the little book to their children.

Download or read book The Bitter Cry of the Children Classic Reprint written by John Spargo and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bitter Cry of the Children I count myself fortunate in having had a hand in bringing this remarkable and invaluable volume into existence. Quite incidentally in my book Poverty I made an estimate of the number of underfed children in New York City. If our experts or our general reading public had been at all familiar with the subject, my estimate would probably have passed without com ment, and, in any case, it would not have been con sidered unreasonable. But the public did not seem to realize that this was merely another way of stating the volume of distress, and, consequently, for several days the newspapers throughout the country dis cussed the statement and in some instances severely criticised it. One prominent charitable organiza tion, thinking that my estimate referred to starving children, undertook, without delay, to provide meals for the children. In the midst of the excitement Mr. Spargo kindly volunteered to investigate the facts at first hand. His inquiry was so searching and impartial and the data he gathered so interesting and valuable that I urged him to put his material in some permanent form. The following admirable study of this problem is the result of that suggestion. I am safe in saying that this book is a truly power ful one, destined, I believe, to become a mighty factor in awakening all classes of our people to the neces sity of undertaking measures to remedy the condi tions which exist. The appeal of adults in poverty is an old appeal, so old indeed that we have become in a measure hardened to its pathos and insensitive to its tragedy. But this book represents the cry of the child in distress, and it will touch every human heart and even arouse to action the stolid and apa thetic. The originality of the book lies in the mass of proof which the author brings before the reader showing that it is not alone, as most of our charitable experts believe, the misery of the neglected or the actively maltreated child that should receive atten tion. Even more important is the misery of that one whose whole future is darkened and perhaps blasted by reason of the fact that during his early years of helplessness he has not received those ele ments of nutritious food which are necessary to a wholesome physical life.

I have had this end constantly in my mind, though I have made no attempt, nor had 1 any intent, to write in a style for the perusal of children; for I have not found that intelligent children care much 'or long for such hooks, except in the very rare cases of the few great hooks that have heen written for children, and which are loved and read as much hy the old as hy the young.

Download or read book Child Life in Colonial Western Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Percy Burdelle Caley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Colonial Western Pennsylvania In such a situation children were much to be desired, if for no other reason than to provide a labor supply. For, isolated as they were, where land could be had for the taking, few if any men could be hired as laborers even if the father could have found the wherewithal to pay them. Under such conditions the sons became the helpers of their fathers, both in hunting and farming; while the girls aided their mothers in gardening, spinning and other household duties. But the most important part played by children in the frontier days was not in the role of laborers. They were rather the incentives which spurred their parents on to de sire better conditions. In the first place, more land had to be claimed and cleared to provide nearby farms where sons and daughters might live when grown. In the second place, the old cabin had to give way to a bigger, better and more comfortable log-house to shelter adequately their yet small brood. In the third place, a desire was created for safer surroundings for these children: the Indians had to be driv en back to parts where they would cease to be a menace to these new communities; and the Law had to be called in to deal with the roysterers of the border. In the fourth place, better communications had to be established with the out side world in order that the children might learn to know more of the country to which they belonged, and that cer tain comforts might be brought in to vary the monotony of their lives. And lastly, parents became impressed with the need for the establishment of some means of education, so that sooner or later there appeared that characteristic feature of American life, the school. Thus, in the course of a few years, the aspect of the community was changed. Around the group of old log cabins and the stockade fort where traders and hunters had stopped to rest, swap tales and drink healths, there grew up a peaceful and substantial farming community, with less of the passing nature about it. With the coming of the children, therefore, the frontier, as such, gradually moved farther westward while in its place a quiet and law abiding countryside appeared.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Juvenile Labour Exchanges and After-Care IT is hoped that this little book will be of service to members of Juvenile Advisory Committees and others interested in the problems of Adolescence. At the present time much thought and effort are being directed towards the various aspects of child life. There are in operation schemes of Infant Care, and of Child Care; Adolescent Care is now beginning to receive serious attention. I would suggest that all such activity should be planned with a view to the ultimate co-ordination of all juvenile welfare organisa tions, when the time arrives, into one comprehensive scheme. I have not attempted to deal at all fully with the problems of juvenile labour, or with all that is being done to meet the evils arising from boy and girl employment. I have dealt with these matters merely in order to make clear the nature of the problems to be faced and to give some indication of the kind of efforts that are being made to face them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children in Health and Disease: A Study of Child-Life One of the most notable developments of public opinion in recent years has been the growth of a widespreading interest in the conditions of child-life. This movement has Specially con cerned itself with the health of the young, which, for the first time, has become recognised as the essential factor in their lives. As a natural result, the direct bearing of medical science on all matters relating to childhood is now admitted. For the future, therefore, medical men will require a broader experience of children than can be obtained in the sickroom alone, and they must possess a more general knowledge of childhood than is implied in an acquaintance with its diseases.
