TY - THES AB - The present picture of the dependent children of today in their homes, in institutions, and elsewhere gives, at first glance, a feeling of progress and satisfaction that so many forms of care, supported by so many resources, have been developed. However, the second glance does not give a feeling of progress and satisfaction but one of regret and disappointment that there are still so many children who need care. Despite the unusual progress made in medicine, science, and social work, there are still children who, because of race, religion, or color, cannot share in the provisions made for dependent children. There are others, many of them, who are separated from their homes because of poverty, unemployment, and unnecessary accidents. There are still scores of others who are receiving care in foster homes and institutions from persons with­out experience, training, skill, or understanding. Yet, inadequate as our present system of caring for these children may seem, it has been attained only by persistent struggle and work over a long period of years. To make the present brighter and hopes for the future greater let us re­view the history of that struggle of the past.
