Taking as its central focus the CAS's flagship program-the Newsboys' Lodging House, which opened in 1854-this book examines its experiment in incentive-based youth engagement, its connection with other CAS branches, and its overall place in a continuum of child care. Brace forged new methods based on voluntary participation, a alternative to child asylums which policed the poor. Straddling periods dubbed antebellum, Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Gilded Age, CAS took root amid racial, ethnic, religious, nativist, and class-based tensions in a city absorbing a flood of poor immigrants and housing them in squalid conditions. Youth homelessness emerged as a new social problem. Brace's plan included a central office for intra- and extra-agency referrals; outreach; schools, reading rooms, evening entertainment, Sunday meetings, lodging houses, and emigration options for fostering or employing children in the West. The plan was stunning in its size, scope, and vision. It provided for children's basic needs while offering pathways out of poverty. Brace's goals were nothing short of eradicating child poverty, reducing homelessness, reducing illiteracy, preventing juvenile delinquency, improving child and maternal health, providing employment and job training, and promoting sympathy for poor children among the wealthy. Brace's internationally recognized work had a profound impact on child well-being and offered a radical alternative to the jural, carceral, and policing tactics common in the day ""-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Brace, Charles Loring, $d 1826-1890. 610 20 $a Children's Aid Society (New York, N.Y.) 610 20 $a Newsboys' Lodging House. 600 17 $a Brace, Charles Loring, $d 1826-1890. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00014874 610 27 $a Children's Aid Society (New York, N.Y.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00616964 610 27 $a Newsboys' Lodging House. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00656162 650 0 $a Street children $z New York $z New York $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Homeless children $z New York $z New York $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Child welfare $z New York $z New York $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Child welfare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854709 650 7 $a Homeless children $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959440 650 7 $a Street children $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134670 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Staller, Karen M. $t New York's newsboys $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2020] $z 9780190886622 $w (DLC) 2019048865 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220303011026.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DCD0782BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
