Allan, business manager. NATIONAL EpUCATION ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES | 1201 SixTEENTH STREET NortTHwest, WAsuHINGTON, D. C. 1931 we Hoover’s White House Conference on Child Health and Protection recognizing the rights of the child as the first rights of citizen- ship pledges itself to these aims for the children of America: I For every child spiritual and moral training to help him to stand firm under the pressure of life. II For every child understanding and the guarding of his personality as his most precious gift. III For every child a home and that love and security which a home provides; and for that child who must receive foster care, the nearest substi- tute for his own home. IV For every child full preparation for his birth, his mother receiving prenatal, natal, and postnatal care; and the establishment of such protective measures as will make childbearing safer. V For every child health protection from birth ‘hrough adolescence including: periodical health xaminations and, where needed, care of specialists nd hospital treatment; regular dental examina- tion and care of the teeth; protective and preven- tive measures against communicable diseases; the insuring of pure food, pure milk, and pure water. VI For every child from birth through adoles- cence, promotion of health, including health in- struction and a health program, wholesome physi- cal and mental recreation, with teachers and lead- ers adequately trained. VII For every child a dwelling place safe, sanitary, and wholesome, with reasonable provisions for privacy, free from conditions which tend to thwart his development; and a home environment har- monious and enriching. VIII For every child a school which is safe from hazards, sanitary, properly equipped, lighted, and ventilated. For younger children nursery schools and kindergartens to supplement home care. IX For every child a community which recognizes and plans for his needs, protects him against physi- cal dangers, moral hazards, and disease; provides him with safe and wholesome places for play and recreation; and makes provision for his cultural and social needs. X For every child an education which, through the discovery and development of his individual abili- ties, prepares him for life; and through training and vocational guidance prepares him for a living which will yield him the maximum of satisfaction. XI For every child such teaching and training as will prepare him for suécessful parenthood, home- making, and the rights of citizenship; and for par- ents supplementary training to fit them to deal wisely with the problems of parenthood. XII For every child education for safety and pro- tection against accidents to which modern condi- The Children’s Charter tions subject him—those to which he is directly exposed and those which, through loss or maiming of his parents, affect him indirectly. XIII For every child who is blind, deaf, crippled, or otherwise physically handicapped, and for the child who is mentally handicapped, such measures as will early discover and diagnose his handicap, provide care and treatment, and so train him that he may become an asset to society rather than a liability. Expenses of these services should be borne publicly where they cannot be privately met. XIV For every child who is in conflict with society the right to be dealt with intelligently as society’s charge, not society’s outcast; with the home, the school, the church, the court, and institutions when needed, shaped to return him whenever possible to the normal stream of life. XV For every child the right to grow up in a family with an adequate standard of living and the security of a stable income as the surest safeguard against social handicaps. XVI For every child protection against labor that stunts growth, either physical or mental, that limits education, that deprives children of their right of comradeship, of play, and of joy. XVII For every rural child as satisfactory school- ing and health services as for the city child, and an extension to rural families of social, recreational, and cultural facilities. XVIII To supplement the home and the school in the training of youth and to return to them those interests of which modern life tends to cheat chil- dren, every stimulation and encouragement should be given to the extension and development of the voluntary youth organizations. XIX To make everywhere available these mini- mum protections of the health and welfare of chil- dren, there should be a district, county, or com- munity organization for health and welfare with full-time officials, coordinating with a statewide program which will be responsive to a nationwide program of general information, statistics, and scientific research. This should include: [a] Trained, full-time public health officials, with public health nurses, sanitary inspection, and lab- oratory workers. [b} Available hospital beds. [c] Full-time public welfare service for the relief, aid, and guidance of children in special need due to poverty, misfortune, or behavior difficulties and for the protection of children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, or moral hazard. For EVERY child these rights, regardless ot race, or color, or situation wherever he may live under the protection of the American flag. > >>> >>> os ee ee ee eee ee ee! ee 2. ABERCROMBIE, JOHN W.
