Abstract: The child-caring institution, the oldest child welfare resource in America, has developed slowly and in a complicated variety of ways. Today it has stepped up its pace, carrying with it a rich tradition of caring about and for dependent children. It has the added strength of a growing reconciliation with the community and its child welfare prob lems and the parents of the children it serves. Caring for dif ferent children today, it is often broadening its base of service to accommodate their many needs. Its goals and philosophy and its unique strengths are coming into clearer focus. It reels under the pressure of increasingly disturbed family situations and of learning how to bring its strengths to bear upon these problems. Its emerging humility and expressions of faith in people is singularly noteworthy, and continued study and demonstration is needed to help guide its use of these qualities in the coming years.
