About This Book
Presented before the Children's Section of the National Conference of Charities and Correction in 1915, this paper examines part of a study through the Boston Children's Aid Society that aimed to state the services of a child-placing society in certain exact terms, with the hope of establishing certain standards to measure this sect of social work. By measuring the society's standards, it also looks to determine what might be failing and provide possible solutions.
