| Summary | "The Child in the Midst" by Mary Schauffler Labaree is a comparative study of child welfare in Christian and non-Christian lands, written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the various challenges children face in different cultures, emphasizing the need for improved conditions and care for all children across the globe. The author draws from her extensive background as a missionary and presents a heartfelt examination of childhood experiences worldwide, focusing on their needs, rights, and the often dire circumstances they endure. At the start of the book, Labaree introduces the concept of what children need across various cultures, illustrating how fundamental rights such as care, education, and safe environments are often unmet in non-Christian societies. She presents poignant anecdotes from missionaries who observe and respond to the plight of children in countries like India and Persia, highlighting issues such as infant mortality, poor maternal care, and harmful superstitions surrounding childbirth. The opening sets the stage for a broader discussion on how child welfare initiatives can bridge the disparities in upbringing and ensure a better future for children everywhere.
