The Hijacking Of The Humane Movement PDF Download

Excerpt from The Humane Movement: A Descriptive Survey Prepared on the Henry Bergh Foundation for the Promotion of Humane Education in Columbia University In 1908, I was directed by the President of Columbia University, to prepare a report on and bibliography of the subject of humane education and the prevention of cruelty to animals and children. In determining the scope of this report I have sought to bring it within manageable proportions by confining it to those phases of humane activity that have received the least descriptive treatment. Child-caring and child-help ing agencies have been described at length by many writers, and at the present time the Russell Sage Founds tion is pushing exhaustive inquiries in this field. I have therefore confined this aspect of my report to a brief summary of the varying viewpoints that characterize the work of moieties for the prevention of cruelty to children, and to a concise tabulation of laws for the protection of children.
