The Mother and Child and State in 1911 Lecture
Dr. Charles E. Lukens argues motherhood as civic foundation at Mountainair Chautauqua. He condemns orphanage dependency while urging state action, medical screening, and a national Children's Bureau to protect children. He shares a case of a widowed mother aided by the Children's Home Society and champions family foster care over institutional care.
