From the PREFACE: The Children’s Foundation has for its objects the study of the child and the dissemination of knowledge promotive of the well-being of children. It came into existence at Valparaiso, Indiana, late in 1921, when a charter was granted to it by the State of Indiana as a corporation not for profit, and a gift was made available to its Trustees for effecting its organization and developing its program of work. The Foundation has first undertaken the task of appraising present-day knowledge relating to the nature, well-being, and education of children, and through tis volume, “The Child: His Nature and his Needs,” it seeks to make this knowledge available for practical use everywhere by those who are in immediate contact with children, fashioning their intellect, moulding their character and influencing their physical development.” 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches--516 pages CONDITION: This hardcover book is in near very good condition.
