About this book
In an era marked by rapid industrialization and social upheaval, "That Last Waif; or, Social Quarantine" by Horace Fletcher emerges as a powerful call for reform. This compelling treatise highlights the urgent need for societal responsibility in safeguarding neglected children, advocating for a radical "social quarantine" to protect these vulnerable lives from exploitation and despair. Fletcher’s incisive arguments challenge readers to confront the moral implications of inaction, emphasizing the necessity of community involvement in child welfare. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work not only sheds light on early 20th-century social issues but also resonates with contemporary discussions on child protection and social justice. Dive into Fletcher's vision and explore the intersection of compassion and policy.
