Stran 4 - For every child the right to grow up in a family with an adequate standard of living and the security of a stable income as the surest safeguard against social handicaps XVI For every child protection against labor that stunts growth, either physical or mental, that limits education, that deprives children of the right of comradeship, of play, and of joy...
Stran 1 - We approach all problems of childhood with affection. Theirs is the province of joy and good humor. They are the most wholesome part of the race, the sweetest, for they are fresher from the hands of God.
Stran 2 - Theirs is the province of joy and good humor. They are the most wholesome part of the race, the sweetest, for they are fresher from the hands of God. Whimsical, ingenious, mischievous, we live a life of apprehension as to what their opinion may be of us; a life of defense against their terrifying energy; we put them to bed with a sense of relief and a lingering of devotion. We envy them the freshness of adventure and discovery of life; we mourn over the disappointments they will meet.
Stran 2 - We envy them the freshness of adventure and discovery of life; we mourn over the disappointments they will meet. The fundamental purpose of this conference is to set forth an understanding of those safeguards which will assure to them health in mind and body. There are safeguards and services to childhood which can be provided by the community, the State, or the nation — all of which are beyond the reach of the individual parent. We approach these problems in no spirit of diminishing the responsibilities...
Stran 2 - We approach these problems in no spirit of diminishing the responsibilities and values or invading the sanctities of those primary safeguards to child life— their homes and their mothers. After we have determined every scientific fact, after we have erected every public safeguard, after we have constructed every edifice for education or training or hospitalization or play, yet all these things are but a tithe of the physical, moral, and spiritual gifts which motherhood gives and home confers. None...
Stran 2 - Let no one believe that these are questions which should not stir a nation ; that they are beneath the dignity of statesmen or governments. If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated, and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government...
Stran 1 - In addressing you whom I see before me here in this auditorium, I am mindful also of the unseen millions listening in their homes, who likewise are truly members of this conference, for these problems are theirs — it is their children whose welfare is involved, its helpful services are for them, and their cooperation is essential in carrying out a united and nation-wide effort in behalf of the children.
Stran 2 - Or the setting up of community-wide remedy for the deficient and handicapped child. But she can insist upon officials who hold up standards of protection and service to her children — and one of your jobs is to define these standards and tell her what they are.
Stran 2 - If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated, and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government would vanish.
Stran 4 - We must enlarge the services of medical inspection and clinics, expand the ministrations of the family doctor in their behalf, and very greatly increase the hospital facilities for them. We must not leave one of them uncared for. There are also the complex problems of the delinquent child. We need to turn the methods of inquiry from the punishment of delinquency to the causes of delinquency. It is not the delinquent child that is at the bar of judgment, but society itself The passion of American...
