Summary
This official report was presented to the Governor and Legislature of New Hampshire in January 1915 by the state's Children's Commission, whose members were Lilian Carpenter Streeter (chairman), Erville Bartlett Woods (secretary) and the Rev. John Joseph Brophy. It was part of the child-welfare movement of the Progressive Era, when many states studied the conditions of children and the laws that protected them. The first part is a general report with the commission's findings and recommendations. The second part gives detailed studies of infant mortality in the state by E. B. Woods, feeble-mindedness by Mrs. Streeter, and juvenile court laws by Father Brophy. An appendix summarises the New Hampshire laws relating to children. The report is a useful source for historians of social welfare, public health and juvenile justice, and it reflects the ideas and language of its time.
