About This Book

A volume of the Correction and Prevention papers prepared for the Eighth International Prison Congress in 1910, published by the Charities Publication Committee of the Russell Sage Foundation. From the preface: “This volume is designed especially to furnish reliable information to the delegates in attendance upon the International Prison Congress with reference to the progress of work for neglected children in the United States. The subject is studied in its concrete form, and the effort is made to give a comprehensive view of what is being undertaken in the United States for the prevention of juvenile delinquency, and, thereby, of adult delinquency. … The study in Part Three, relating to Cottage and Congregate Institutions, has been made by the Child-Helping Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, for the special benefit of boards of trustees who are contemplating the building of new institutions for children or the re-organization of old ones. It is accompanied by plans for a children’s cottage with outside sleeping porches designed by the author and executed by Robert W. Gardner, Architect, of New York City.

HASTINGS H. HART was director of the Department of Child-Helping of the Russell Sage Foundation.
