{"value"=>"<p>This series contain material related to the work of three organizations and committees: the Committee on Unadjusted Children, the Needlecraft Guild, and the People's Club A.</p> <p>The Committee on Unadjusted Children's first objective was to co-ordinate the work of existing agencies (i.e. Department of Education, Police Corrections Department, and the Child Welfare Department) for the care and rehabilitation of children with emotional and mental problems. The committee was established in 1916; E.F. Sanderson was its Chairman while serving in the position of Director of the People's Institute. John Collier (Staff Director of the New York Training School for Community Center Workers) acted as one of its consultants. The second objective of the Committee was to establish a social clinic for studying and diagnosing individuals.</p> <p>The Needlecraft Guild correspondence and reports for the years 1916 through 1919 focus on the Ukrainian Needlework Guild, which worked in co-operation with the Art Alliance of America and the People's Institute.</p> <p>The People's Club A was a branch of the People's Institute. The club sponsored lectures, programs, and social gatherings.</p>"}
