Abstract
THE Advisory Committee of the League of Nations has issued a report upon this subject (“The Placing of Children in Families”. Geneva, 1938. Vol. 1, price 3.; Vol. 2, price 5s. Messrs. Allen and Unwin, 40 Museum Street, W.C.I). To begin with, the Child Welfare Committee of the League planned a survey on the placing of children in families as part of its general inquiry into the treatment of neglected and delinquent minors, but it was afterwards decided to treat independently the whole problem of placing in families as a method of child care. The first volume of this report presents the principles accepted as underlying provisions for child care, the characteristic features of the different systems employed in various countries, and the organization of social services to direct ‘placing’. Vol. 2 describes the various systems of placing children in families that are now employed in different parts of the world.
