Review of Three Problem Children

Abstract

Reviews the book, Three Problem Children by the Joint Committee on Methods of Preventing Delinquency (see record 1924-10466-000 ). This little book reports in considerable detail the work, worries and progress encountered in an effort to study scientifically and to direct the lives of three children who had become greater and more serious problems year by year as they grew older. Each of these reports, written in narrative form has been taken directly from the case records of the Bureau of Children's Guidance conducted by the New York School of Social Work in its administration of one division of the Commonwealth Fund Program for the Prevention of Delinquency. The book is written in such a direct and clear manner without technical terms that every person attempting to guide the lives of children can read it with interest and profit, be he school teacher, social worker, physician, attorney, parent, probation officer, attendance officer, judge, or officer of a child caring agency.
