Behavior Disorders of Institutionalized Boys: A Statistical Analysis of 115 Boys Admitted to St. Agnes School, Sparkill, New York September, 1956, September, 1957 With Emphasis on Twenty Puerto Rican Boys
Abstract
New and changing economic conditions have often been the prelude to the development of social welfare programs. During the nineteenth century New York City received hundreds of thousands of immigrants, many of whom were Catholic. The lengthy and hazardous trip from Europe, coupled with deplorable living conditions upon arrival, resulted in many adult deaths, leaving innumerable children orphans. The necessity for the establishment of Catholic child care homes became acute and the Church, aware of the desperate need, was ready to accept the challenge.
