Bibliography	Includes bibliographical references.
Summary	From a million and a half to two million children throughout the United States are in special need of assistance because of home conditions or individual difficulties or disabilities. At least a million of these children are deprived of a fair opportunity for normal development because they live in communities that lack the necessary resources for child-welfare services. Children who have been deprived of normal home life or who are endangered by conditions in their environment, as well as those with mental or physical handicaps or emotional maladjustment, are peculiarly in need of safeguards and assistance which should be afforded by State and community programs. Boys and girls whose bodies and characters are stunted by deprivation and neglect cannot develop into courageous and self-sustaining citizens. Society has an obligation to protect these children, both for their own sake and its own. Every child, no matter where he may live or what his race or economic or social status may be, should be assured of those services that his individual needs require.-- p. [3]- [4].
