Excerpt from Cottage and Congregate Institutions for Children
This is intended as a handbook for the use of trustees and officers of institutions for children. It is hoped that it will be found practically useful to those who desire to establish a new institution or to reorganize an old one.
In Part I will be found concrete suggestions on organization, which are based upon actual experience. At the conclusion of this section, seven cottage plans are presented, views and floor plans of which will be found among the illustrations. These cottages represent the most recent and practical plans within the knowledge of the author. They have been selected with reference to their practical adaptability. Most of them represent cottages of the smaller type, accommodating from twenty to thirty children each.
Part II contains a plan for a cottage with outdoor sleeping porches, intended to suggest a type of cottage which it is believed will be desirable for many children in institutions.
In Part III, a study of fifty representative congregate and cottage institutions is presented. This study was made for the purpose of furnishing concrete information for those who contemplate the organization of institutions on the cottage plan.
Of many interesting institutions visited, a number have been left out of this inquiry either because they were too highly organized to meet average requirements, or because of the necessary limitations of such a study. The author takes this opportunity to acknowledge the courtesy and patience with which the superintendents and officers of all of the fifty institutions have aided in this study.
