- W8532884 abstract "I took up residence in an orphanage a few days before my seventh birthday and remained there until the age of fifteen and a half, a total of eight and a half years. I was a full orphan by reason of my father's desertion before my birth and my mother's death in her forty-ninth year. I have no memory of having seen my father. During the year after my mother's death, I was assigned to two foster homes seriatim, which involved my attending four primary schools during my sixth and seventh years. I was tolerated at these homes until I could be moved along. I can recall little in the way of masculine influence during my first six years until I got to the orphanage, which may account for my slow acclimatization there. It was a rough, tough existence after the totally feminine environment of my earliest years. It has not been considered particularly advantageous to spend one's formative years in an orphanage. The immediate experience made me actively dislike almost everything about it. Nowadays, the phasing out of orphanages has thinned the ranks of the alumni. Orphanages have fallen into desuetude after struggling along under a Dickensian cloud. The foster home has largely replaced the orphanage. The social service attitude routinely supports the primacy of the nuclear family, no matter how disorganized it may be. Social problems these days are dealt with less on principle than on the basis of cost. But I doubt whether orphanages were more expensive per capita than other modes of child care. Before all witnesses and memories disappear, I want to record the debits and credits of" @default.
