Publisher's Synopsis
The Manual of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was written in 1913 by Elbridge Thomas Gerry. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the organization's mission and operations, as well as the laws and regulations governing child welfare at that time. It includes detailed information on the society's history, structure, and programs, including its efforts to protect children from abuse and neglect, provide them with education and healthcare, and support their families. The manual also contains a wealth of practical advice for social workers, educators, and parents on how to identify and report cases of child abuse, as well as tips for caring for children who have experienced trauma. Overall, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the child welfare movement in America and the efforts of one of the country's most important child protection organizations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
