The Child-Savers felt that it was not only their responsibility to ensure the proper care and education of their own children, but also of the children who were poor, orphaned or delinquent (McGowan, 2014; Platt, 1969). The women of the child-saving movement felt it was a woman’s responsibility to ensure the education and socialization of children, and they were further spurred to action by sociologists who were reporting that children living in the city slums were “being born into crime” and that due to their biological and environmental factors, they would become adult criminals if there was not an adequate intervention to change the course of their lives (McGowan, 2014; Platt, 1969; Cooley, 1897).

Chapter 1 NAME The Market Introduction. The problems in this chapter examine some variations on the apartment market described in the text. In most of the problems we work with the true demand curve constructed from the reservation prices of the consumers rather than the “smoothed” demand curve that we used in the text.
