194 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. xi (1937)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0194 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD DURING the third decade of the century, the Academy devoted three of its volumes to the subject of child welfare. The November 1921 issue may be said to have defined the problems of child welfare in the United States; the September 1925 issue sought to identify the new values that were emerging in that field; and the September 1930 issue attempted to summarize the postwar progress that had been made in the promotion of the welfare of the Nation's children. The child of the twenties has become the youth of the thirties; and, curiously enough, much of our social concern seems to have shifted in the thirties from the problems of childhood to those of youth. Several factors may be identified as responsible for this shift. First, the progress made in promoting the welfare of children has pushed back the frontiers of social work; second, in the development of standards of child care, age limits have been revised upward into the period when the child becomes the youth; and, finally, there has been the impact upon youth of these critical years since 1929. To focus attention upon the problems of youth, and to facilitate the intelligent consideration of these problems, the Academy presents this issue devoted to the prospect for modern youth. Several articles, scheduled to discuss significant aspects of the general subject, failed to materialize in time for publication. Despite these omissions, it is the hope of the special editors of this volume that it may serve the purposes for which it was conceived. JAMES H. S. BOSSARD W. WALLACE WEAVER xi
