Proceedings of the Child Conference for Research and Welfare, Vol. 2: Held at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., June 28-July 2, 1910 (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Proceedings of the Child Conference for Research and Welfare, Vol. 2: Held at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., June 28-July 2, 1910Now the third line of work that is being done has no con nection with the university except that some of us are in the ranks. It is a local movement. There has just been organ ized a Worcester Conference for Child Welfare, and some of our most prominent and influential citizens, ladies and gentle men, have joined it. There are six committees, one on health, one on, delinquency, one on the milk question, one on play grounds, one on publicity, and one on amusements, such as nickelodeums and dance-halls, etc. These six committees (the members of which would average twenty people) have had a good many meetings and have done a great deal of ex cellent work. For instance, the playground committee had a kind of whirlwind campaign a week or two ago which re sulted in raising eleven or twelve thousand dollars and in a pretty well equipped system to be opened week after next. And that has, you see, _changed the face of things a great deal. We have a wonderful system of parks; that is one of the great sources of pride in this city; but we were rather behindhand in the matter of playgrounds. But these are to be organized on a splendid scale. That is the third group of citizens' committees and we have connected with that something like 150 or more members who enlist and give us their support, and nearly all of them have made contributions, and we are hoping next fall that other lines of work looking toward making Worcester the best place in the world to bring up children in, will be inaugurated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
