About this book
The house on Henry Street by Lillian D. Wald records the settlement's existence alongside a significant awakening of social concern, particularly concern for protecting children throughout society. Maggie recalls receiving no unkindness in an excellent orphanage, yet remembers with horror the constant feeling of waiting to be told what to do. The account also acknowledges children rescued from unfortunate family conditions who remember their orphanage as the only home they have known.
The discussion presents play and recreation as a way of recognizing children's dignity. The text says that young offenders’ court appearances may often be traced to a play impulse for which there was no safe outlet.
