On the protection of infancy in Western Europe

In the fall of 1925, thanks to the assistance of the NCH and the Hygienic Section of the League of Nations, I got the opportunity to visit a number of Western European institutions for children. Since I had relatively little time at my disposal - only 2 months - I decided to limit my task and get acquainted only with institutions for young children, leaving aside institutions for older children, school hygiene issues, etc. Thanks to the letters with which I supplied the Hygienic Section to the relevant central bodies in England, Germany and France, namely the Central Council for the Protection of Mothers and Infants and the Ministry of Health in London, the Ministry of Health (Reichsgesundheitsamt) in Berlin and the National Committee for Child Welfare and the National Committee for the Protection of tbc in Paris, I could get acquainted both with the institutions that interested me for a long time, and with other show institutions, which were indicated to me by the named organizations.
