did not work previously; 90 what
other social agencies and organiza-
tons are doing to meet these needs,
and 90 what policy the association
would adopt in regard to It's active
work for the immediate future.
Briefly stated, the situation may be
summed up as follows:
First, that the children most in
need Of care and attention at tho
present time, are those under ten
years OF age, whose mothers are COM
PEELED to go 10 work. THIS need Is
for fun day care. and naturally falls
to tho Day Nurseries, which are al
ready taxed TO their capacity. In ad-
dition 70 the young children tho older
brothers and sisters of these children
go to the nurseries after school hours,
but ne provision can be made for
them under the present crowded con-
ditions.
second, that the number OF work
ing mothers Ia steadily increasing.
The cost OF living and the decrease in
income due to the absence OF sons at
the front and In training camps, has
made this necessary. As the war
progresses and further selective
drafts occur, this condition will be-
come more and more acute.
Juvenile delinquency shows marked
signs OF increase in all parts of the
city. As shown in one instance, the
Gerry Society reports 40 cases in one
day recently, as against a normal
average Of thirty-hve cases. Chill
dren's Court officials attribute this TO
the fact that the loss OF the big
brother from "A family means more
TO the small boy than the loss OF a
father. II is the big brother who
knows the companions and haunts OF
the boy who makes the street his
playground, and who, having boen
through tho same temptations him
self, Is better able TO guido and al
wise him than the parents them
selves.
Funds for play leaders, salaries
