New York's Newsboys tells the tale of Children's Aid Society's flagship New York program, the Newsboys' Lodging House, opened in 1853. Conceived as part of a visionary intervention orchestrated by social reformer Charles Loring Brace, its policies and practices were forged from daily interactions with the city's impoverished, sometimes lawless, and entrepreneurial "newsies."
