Coleman Sheehy, Fordham University

Abstract

Today more than any other period in history great concern and thought, is being given to the child in the institution. Institutional care for children has gone through many interesting stages. We have come a long way from the days of the almhouses and earlier institutions where there was no separation of old and young, sick and delinquent. Today institutions have segregated into specialized facilities for certain groups, e.g. the dependent and neglected, children are separated from the delinquents, etc.
