Abstract
Children are almost one-third of our population, and are all of our future. 1 In 1978 there were roughly 63 million children and adolescents under 18 years of age in the United States, 2 83 per cent of whom were white, 15 per cent black, and 2 per cent of other races. 3 Three-quarters of the total number of children in the US are between 1 and 15 years of age.
