Care And Education Of Crippled Children In The United States Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Care and Education of Crippled Children in the United States This volume is intended to serve as a handbook for the use of those who are interested in the care of crippled children. It undertakes to give concrete information respecting 37 hospitals, convalescent institutions, and asylum homes whose work is so standardized as to permit of statistical treatment, and to give a brief outline of about the same number of institutions, schools, and societies which devote only a part of their effort and resources to crippled children, or whose work is less definitely developed and standardized. The rapid growth of work for crippled children since 1891 indicates an increasing recognition of the need, and the facts here given suggest the ways in which that need is to be met. It is hoped that the book will be especially useful to those who are considering the question of organizing work for crippled children. To this end the work is freely illustrated by plans and photographs, accompanied by comparative statistics of the cost of lands and buildings and the expenditures for maintenance. Especial attention is called to the work of the state institutions for crippled children in Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota, and Nebraska. These are the only institutions which are meeting adequately the needs of children in rural communities. It is doubtful whether the needs of these children can be met in any other way, and it is a significant fact that the states of Illinois and Ohio are contemplating the establishment of similar state institutions. In the Introduction and in the descriptions of particular institutions the effort has been made to bring out the spirit of courage and optimism which animates the crippled children themselves and all who work for them. In particular, too high praise cannot be given to the orthopedic surgeons whose technical skill and personal devotion have furnished the basis for all effective efforts in behalf of crippled children. The Department of Child-Helping of the Russell Sage Foundation will take pleasure in answering inquiries for information not covered by this volume.

Excerpt from Some Considerations Affecting the Primary Education of Crippled Children Together With a Survey of the Historical Development and Present Status of Care for Cripples, 1910 In addition to proper surgical attention, what the crippled child most needs is that help which is required to offset or counterbalance the peculiar limitations imposed upon him by his deformity. The physical care is of prime importance, for it is essential in all cases and in many instances it succeeds in effecting complete cures, thus disposing of the entire problem. But there is something besides physical care to be considered if the best all-around results are to be obtained. The crippled child should be afforded educational facilities fully as advantageous as those offered to normal children. All of the arguments which can be advanced for the education of normal children - and more - can be urged in behalf of the crippled child.

Excerpt from Bibliography of the Education and Care of Crippled Children: A Manual and Guide to the Literature Relating to Cripples Together With an Analytical Index Having had some slight experience before in looking up subjects Of sociological interest, I anticipated no difficulty in locating ample material on the education and care Of crippled children. Following the usual procedure and, going to the public library in my own city, I consulted the index under the word crippled. But one item was listed under this heading, and that was an inconsequential periodical article in German. Other cognate headings such as deformed or physically defective failed to reveal so much as a fragment Of literature on the subject.
