Summary	A home which protects the health and well-being of its children and which lays the foundation for a well-balanced emotional and intellectual life gives its children a heritage that equips them for meeting the stress of life. A child's development as a member of society is influenced by his experiences as a member of a family group. The social attitudes and the conduct of a child are determined largely by the standards that he has acquired in his home. The home meets the needs of a child if it provides him with physical and emotional security and affords him an opportunity for spiritual and intellectual growth. In a democracy no family can live for itself alone. Churches, schools, libraries, industry and business, health and social-welfare agencies, recreational facilities, civic and social organizations, and all the activities that make up community life play a part in the life of each family. The strength of the community depends upon the integrity of each individual and family group, and security of home life is achieved not only through family effort but also through those forces in the community which make for wholesome living... Even the wisest and most gifted parents need to study the art of parenthood. Child training is not a static science. New discoveries are continually bringing new understanding of the problems of children and youth. Parents should keep informed in regard to constructive methods of child training and principles of child guidance. Homes in which parents and children have interests in common and a mutual understanding of problems that affect the individual members of the family make a strong foundation for our democracy. Security of home life for children must be built upon such a foundation.-- p. [3]- [4].
