Book Description
Excerpt from Children of Preschool Age in Gary, Ind, Vol. 1: Part 1. General Conditions Affecting Child Welfare Bureau Publication No. 112; and Physical Status of Preschool Children, Gary, Ind., by Anna E. Rude, M. D., U. 8. Children's Bureau Publication No. 111. This study is concerned not with the physical condition of chil dren 2 to 7 years of age, which is treated of in a separate report, but with the habits of life these children were forming, the economic and social conditions surrounding them, and the environmental condi tions under which they were living in this representative industrial city. Part I deals with the general conditions affecting the children and Part II with their diet. Few cities know either the exact number or the precise where abouts of their children 2 to 7 years Of age. N 0 public records com parable to birth certificates and no such compulsory records as the public schools keep for children Of school age are available In most cities for the preschool child. In order to ascertain how many chili dren born In the years 1911 to 1915 were resident In Gary In March, 1918, a house-to-house canvass Of the city was necessary. This' canvass was made In February, 1918. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
