212 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. xi (1940)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0212 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD WHATEVER it is that a nation wants to achieve, the long-range fulfillment of its objectives looks to the coming generation. Democracies and dictators, scientists and statesmen, alike recognize this fact. At this moment in world history, then, there is particular pertinence to a volume of THE ANNALS on child problems and programs. The present volume is the fifth in the publications by the American Academy during the past twenty years which have been devoted to childhood. The first of these appeared in November 1921, under the title of Child Welfare, and consisted of twenty-four articles which identified and surveyed the then chief concerns of child welfare workers. In September 1925 there appeared a second volume under the title of New Values in Child Welfare, which attempted to present certain new emphases in a field in process of rapid development. Postwar Progress in Child Welfare, appearing in September 1930, was a survey of trends and changes in chil- dren's work during the decade 1920-30. Growing emphasis during the depression years upon the problems of a slightly older group led to the publication in Novem- ber 1937 of the volume entitled The Prospect for Youth. The present vloume, which appears at the end of a decade of depression, seeks, through a survey of a series of trends, not only to indicate how that depression has affected the problems and the programs of child welfare, but also to reveal the present status of the situation in this field. The editor of the present volume has served as sole or co-editor of each of the volumes just mentioned. In a number of cases the contributors to the volumes have been the same. In particular, the effort has been made in planning the present volume to have the same contributors survey the same fields as did so in the 1930 volume. Taken as a whole, then, these five volumes form a series of signposts in the history of child welfare work during the past twenty years. It is hoped that they may be of continuing service to students of child problems. JAMES H. S. BossARD xi
