Excerpt from The Care of Crippled Children in the United States: A Study of the Distribution of Institutions and Work an Analysis of Systems of Care, and a Consideration of the Principles Involved; Together With a Bibliography of Material Relating to Cripples in America There are, in the United States, a great many more institutions for the care of cripples than is generally realized. This is probably due to the fact that each organization had its inception in the need of a local situation, and was founded to relieve particular conditions. Development was thus along individual lines. There has been no concerted movement for the benefit of cripples, and the institutions which exist are largely ignorant of the work which is being done outside of their own city. There has been no national congress for cripple-care and there is practically no literature by means of which information regarding work and methods might be exchanged. Furthermore, the regular national organizations engaged in philanthropic effort have given no attention to cripples. It might be expected, therefore, that there would be found institutions varying widely in type. This is the case. Some are excellent, others very poor, and there is a great divergence in the ideas regarding the proper methods of care. But just on account of the individuality and the absence of conformity to any exact rules or system, there have been devised several features of great interest. To the surgeons came the first realization of the special needs of cripples and the first institution established for their benefit in the United States was the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled in New York City.
