=Conditions to be Secured for Every Child.=--There are several conditions which must be secured for every child to insure that it may be born and reared according to high standards. These may be listed as follows: I. Two parents, to secure in advance a favorable social position. II. A competent mother, to insure his first two or three years of life in health, happiness, and growing power. III. A competent father, to stand back of the mother and help make a home adequate at least to the minimum of normal life's demands. IV. Community surroundings that will make possible the successful achievement of parental duty. V. Census provisions for vital and social statistics that will make it sure that every child is counted in the population of his nation, state, and community, and that he is accounted for in all social relationships. VI. State protection against industrial exploitation, vicious influences, harmful use of leisure time, and generally unwholesome conditions. VII. Health standards in the community, fixed by experts and maintained in essentials by public provisions. VIII. Education standards, fixed by experts and maintained, at least in normal minimum, by community provision. IX. Such vital relation between the family, the school, the political system, and all cultural opportunities as shall insure to each child his just share of the social inheritance to which all are heir.
