"The Child in Human Progress" by George Henry Payne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the evolving perception and treatment of children throughout history, examining societal attitudes, practices, and the slow emergence of a humanitarian approach towards child welfare across different cultures and eras. The book is significant for its comprehensive exploration of the often neglected history of childhood, aiming to shed light on how civilization has progressed in its treatment of the young. The opening of the book features a foreword by Dr. A. Jacobi, who acknowledges the book’s unique contribution to the discourse on children's rights and welfare. He emphasizes how historical reflections on the status of children have been largely overlooked in existing literature, creating a significant gap. Payne sets the stage for a detailed examination of the evolution of societal attitudes towards children, asserting that maternal affection is foundational to human altruism. He hints at the complex interplay between economic conditions, societal norms, and the treatment of children, suggesting that the book will chronicle these relations back through history to illustrate the gradual shift from barbarity to a more humane consideration of children's rights and care.
