THE WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE ON CHILDREN AND YOUTH was a series of meetings hosted over 60 years by the President of the United States and was the first White House conference ever held. Under the leadership of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson Herbert Hoover Franklin D. Roosevelt Harry Truman Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon the Conferences involved thousands of delegates from around the country. According to the Child Welfare League of America "the conferences were devoted to improving the lives of children across the Nation." Each conference focused on issues relevant to the decade in which the conference was held. In 1960 the "Golden Anniversary White House Conference on Children and Youth" expanded ways for children to explore their potential in order to discover creative freedom. The 7000 delegates attending this conference during Eisenhower's presidency met to study the factors that influence individual fulfillment—family religion education health and community life. As stated by Roy Sorenson in the INTRODUCTION "The Committee is proud indeed that Pearl Buck has provided the text for The Joy of Children and that she has written it with such heart. As a 1932 Pulitzer Prize winner and recipient of the 1938 Nobel Award in literature Pearl Buck stands in the ranks of American writers. And now in The Joy of Children her sensitivity to the universal and spiritual meaning of childhood adds another dimension to photography. The beauty and rhythm of her words combined with the appeal and vividness of the pictures has transformed an exhibit called "These Are Our Children" into a book titled The Joy of Children." PEARL S. BUCK 1892-1973 writes "The individual human cycle is not whole until man and woman look back to the parents who gave them life and forward to the children to whom they themselves give life. Only thus does the individual feel assured of his place in the eternal scheme of creation. … The strength or weakness of a nation is in the hands of its children. Yet our children are what we make them. They come to us helpless malleable dependent upon what we provide. They leave us as men and women the next generation the blessed or the doomed."

1922rif. 273972Baltimore 1922. unbound. 1 page 8.5 x 5.5 Baltimore Maryland November 22 1922 to American psychiatrist and staunch Eugenicist Dr. Stewart Paton in full: "I have asked the publishers to send you a copy of my book 'The Biology of Death' which has recently appeared. I hope that you will presently receive it and find it of some interest." Within five years both scientists would come to hate one another with Paton replacing Pearl as the poster boy of Eugenics and the voice of the Eugenics Research Association. Natural folds; fine condition. Pearl rarely comes to market and it speculated that his letters were avoided by collectors due to his anti-Semitism and also the fact that Pearl restricted much of his correspondence to the scientific community. American biologist and father of the controversial science of Eugenics and founder of Biogerontology. He made his case on the world stage with his publication "Breeding Better Men" and delivered the first speech at the very first International Eugenics Congress in London July 1912. In 1927 Pearl shocked the scientific community and his peers at John Hopkins University by renouncing the entire movement. Many thought it too late to correct the damage as he had already endorsed Alexis Carrel's erroneous ideas that "normal cells don%u2019t age" and his own theory for The Rate of Living Hypothesis which enjoyed prominence for nearly 50 years. unknown books
