Excerpt from The Child and the Parent: A Small Volume Containing the History of the Provision of Meals to the Children of Poor Parents Care Committees have to grapple with a problem in which they are at present hampered by certain facilities. These are the provision of meals, of medical treatment for children at school, and of labour exchanges for them as they leave. If men are to be free and able to control their own lives, it is difficult to see how material municipal aid for their children will help them. It must follow that men will be content more easily to have their lives regulated by Insurance Commissioners, factory inspectors, and other officials. If Care Committees are to live they must be invited to resist the use of these facilities except as rare necessities: then they will bring a new spirit of freedom into the school through a normal relationship with the children's parents. At present the Committees are given the power to be charitable, not at their own expense, with little, if any, inducement to restrain that power.
