Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""New York Newsboys: Charles Loring Brace and the Founding of the Children's Aid Society (CAS) investigates Brace's visionary anti-poverty work among New York's vagrant children in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Taking as its central focus the CAS's flagship program-the Newsboys' Lodging House, which opened in 1854-this book examines its experiment in incentive-based youth engagement, its connection with other CAS branches, and its overall place in a continuum of child care. Brace forged new methods based on voluntary participation, a alternative to child asylums which policed the poor. Straddling periods dubbed antebellum, Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Gilded Age, CAS took root amid racial, ethnic, religious, nativist, and class-based tensions in a city absorbing a flood of poor immigrants and housing them in squalid conditions. Youth homelessness emerged as a new social problem. Brace's plan included a central office for intra- and extra-agency referrals; outreach; schools, reading rooms, evening entertainment, Sunday meetings, lodging houses, and emigration options for fostering or employing children in the West. The plan was stunning in its size, scope, and vision. It provided for children's basic needs while offering pathways out of poverty. Brace's goals were nothing short of eradicating child poverty, reducing homelessness, reducing illiteracy, preventing juvenile delinquency, improving child and maternal health, providing employment and job training, and promoting sympathy for poor children among the wealthy. Brace's internationally recognized work had a profound impact on child well-being and offered a radical alternative to the jural, carceral, and policing tactics common in the day ""--

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Newsboys' Lodging and Industrial Home: For Year Ending 30th September, 1889 The inmates of the Home are of two classes. Of those admitted for the first time many are vagrants, sheltered for a few nights during the most inclement weather, and then disappearing. But from among this class a certain number are reclaimed, and trained in ideas of orderly industry and providence and of this latter class sixty three have had situations procured for them during the past year. In this way the selling of papers, along with the work of the shoe black, and other temporary occupations, serve as the first stage in reclaiming the youthful vagrant, and breaking him in, so as to fit him for some permanent industrial employment. A brief summary of the work of the past year in our Newsboys' Lodging, will best serve to illustrate the practical results successfully aimed at. The number of boys resident in the Home during the past year has amounted in all to 133, of whom 53 were admitted for the first time. With the exception of the mere transient lodgers, work of some kind has been provided for all the untrained vagrants being started with their little stock of newspapers, and encouraged in their first efforts at independence. Each inmate of the House is chargedten cents daily for his board but homeless vagrants are not refused admission. When entirely destitute they are furnished -with/their first stock of newspapers; and are encouraged in the effort to pay their own way with the sense of self-respect which will no longer accept of charity. The Treasurer has to acknowledge some loss of funds from the credit thus extended to untried claimants but the results are, on the whole, such as to abundantly encourage the Superintendent and Managers to persevere in this course. Ten the reclaimed vagrant has reached the stage of paying for his lodging, the next step is to induce him to deposit any surplus earnings in the Savings Bank. When he has fairly entered on this provident course, the most formidable difficulties have been surmounted, and the Superintendent ere long places him on the list of those for whom some permanent employment may be sought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Benjamin Franklin to Ragged Dick to Jack Kelly, hero of the Disney musical Newsies, newsboys have long intrigued Americans as symbols of struggle and achievement. But what do we really know about the children who hawked and delivered newspapers in American cities and towns? Who were they? What was their life like? And how important was their work to the development of a free press, the survival of poor families, and the shaping of their own attitudes, values and beliefs? Crying the News: A History of America's Newsboys offers an epic retelling of the American experience from the perspective of its most unshushable creation. It is the first book to place newsboys at the center of American history, analyzing their inseparable role as economic actors and cultural symbols in the creation of print capitalism, popular democracy, and national character. DiGirolamo's sweeping narrative traces the shifting fortunes of these "little merchants" over a century of war and peace, prosperity and depression, exploitation and reform, chronicling their exploits in every region of the country, as well as on the railroads that linked them. While the book focuses mainly on boys in the trade, it also examines the experience of girls and grown-ups, the elderly and disabled, blacks and whites, immigrants and natives. Based on a wealth of primary sources, Crying the News uncovers the existence of scores of newsboy strikes and protests. The book reveals the central role of newsboys in the development of corporate welfare schemes, scientific management practices, and employee liability laws. It argues that the newspaper industry exerted a formative yet overlooked influence on working-class youth that is essential to our understanding of American childhood, labor, journalism, and capitalism.

Book excerpt: Despite its decline throughout the advanced industrial nations, child labor remains one of the major social, political, and economic concerns of modern history, as witnessed by the many high-profile stories on child labor and sweatshops in the media today. This work considers the issue in three parts. The first section discusses child labor as a social and economic problem in America from an historical and theoretical perspective. The second part presents child labor as National Child Labor Committee investigators found it in major American industries and occupations, including coal mines, cotton textile mills, and sweatshops in the early 1900s. Finally, the concluding section integrates these findings and attempts to apply them to child labor problems in America and the rest of the world today.

Download or read book The American Child written by Caroline Field Levander and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time that the infant colonies broke away from the parent country to the present day, narratives of U.S. national identity are persistently configured in the language of childhood and family. In The American Child: A Cultural Studies Reader, contributors address matters of race, gender, and family to chart the ways that representations of the child typify historical periods and conflicting ideas. They build on the recent critical renaissance in childhood studies by bringing to their essays a wide range of critical practices and methodologies. Although the volume is grounded heavily in the literary, it draws on other disciplines, revealing that representations of children and childhood are not isolated artifacts but cultural productions that in turn affect the social climates around them. Essayists look at games, pets, adolescent sexuality, death, family relations, and key texts such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the movie Pocahontas; they reveal the ways in which the figure of the child operates as a rich vehicle for writers to consider evolving ideas of nation and the diverse role of citizens within it.
