A proper Gov- ernment supervision would put the ques- tion of child care upon a very much broader basis than it is at present. True, it would then be subjected to the influence of petty politicians. But we do not sce how this influence can be any more degenerating in its effect than the influences predominating in many of our charitable societies. If the children’s welfare is placed un- 853 der the direct supervision of the Gov- ernment, this would call attention to it from every source, and a great many men who have hitherto withheld their valuable aid would be more likely to come forward if the problem were put on a broad national basis. We should unquestionably have to live through much that, viewed from the standpoint of gov- ernment, is very bad. But it seems to us that in the long run we would accom- plish more on this basis than we would through private enterprise. comicbooks.com
