An interesting development in this protection of child life is the
desire being expressed by groups of women that children born out of
wedlock shall be protected as well as the children of married mothers.

such thing as an illegitimate child.”

California Federation of Women’s Clubs has established a Psychopathic
Parole Society for the “prevention of insanity and to secure homes for
unfortunate women confined in Patton, many of whom were fit to be
discharged and others rightly and justly able to be paroled if right
homes could be found.”
