Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Welfare in North Carolina The better thought of the whole country, in fact of the world, is largely directed at this hour to the conservation of all things useful for man and to the preservation and proper development of all human resources. The need for efficient man-power is forcing even those who are ordinarily thoughtless to think. We are beginning to see that not one child can be spared, and that the failure to bring every child born, yes, begotten, to full strength and maturity is a loss not only to the immediate family, but to the entire country. The growing of fit men and women, and enough of them, is coming to be held to be one of the chief concerns of a state. In North Carolina, while much may yet remain to be done, the conscious and deliberate planning for the improvement of society by the growing of the proper sort of children did not begin yesterday, or last year. Whoever has lived in North Carolina or has watched the movement of state thought for the last twenty-five years can not have failed to be impressed by the fact that during all this time more and more the attention of thoughtful men and women has been turning to the consideration of how to provide better care for all the children of the state. Winston, Aycock, Alderman, Mclver, and then Joyner, Graham, McAlister, Rankin and others have in turn been living voices for the utterance of the increasing and deepening conviction that in the child lies the hope of the state. The creation, or rather the recreation, of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare by the General Assembly of 1917, in a way, marks the closing of one period and the beginning of another. The state has gone seriously into the business of insuring proper care for its dependent and neglected children. Even now men and women throughout her borders are quietly but carefully reviewing not only her law and administrative agencies but also actual conditions with the view of finding out first, what needs to be done and then how best to do it. This is as it should be. He who does not know what is, is in no position to say what should be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
