Because of their mushrooming concern with problems of
citizenship education, teachers and school administrators have
an interest in the Midcentury White House Conference on Children
and Youth. For the stated objective of the conference, to be
held the week of December 3, 1950, is "to consider how we can
develop in children the mental, emotional, and spiritual qualities
essential to individual happiness and to responsible citizen-
ship."
To carry out its challenging objective, the White House
Conference has set out to:
(1) Bring together in usable form pertinent knowledge
related to the development of children and indicate areas in
which further knowledge is' needed;
(2) Examine the environment in which children are grow-
ing up, with a view to determining its influence upon them;
(3) Study the ways in which the home, the school, the
church, welfare agencies, and other social institutions,
individually and cooperatively, are serving the needs of
children.
