This study of experiences in coping with children disturbed by wartime conditions was made before July 1940 and has already served as a useful guide in those subsequent evacuations necessitated by the great raids which have occurred since it was made.

Limited in method and in scope both by the emergency character of the undertaking and by restrictions imposed by war conditions, it was motivated primarily by an interest in children sent from their homes in wartime, but also by an interest in the effect of this migration upon the life of both the original and foster families.
