A Children's Institution: A Descriptive Study of Twenty-Five Boys Admitted to Institutional Care at St. Francis Vocational School, Eddington, Pennsylvania, 1967, to Aid in Program Planning
Abstract
The care of the dependent child has been a concern of human society for untold generations. Historically, many of our current child care practices can be traced to the vast changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution. Until that time the master servant feudal relationship obviated child dependency as a major social issue. The economic and social changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution increased the complexity of the problems presented by the dependent child. No longer could the "Master" be looked to for the care and sustenance of the dependent. Society was compelled to express its concern in a variety of ways.
