Children's Aid Society  

Definition

  • THE CHILDREN's AID Society (CAS) was founded in 1853 in New York City by the Reverend Charles Loring Brace. Although it is best known as the original sponsor of “orphan trains” that carried about 150,000 dependent urban children to new homes in rural areas, the 19th century Children's Aid Society of New York was a multiservice agency.
