title: [The "Cradle" yesterday, today and tomorrow].
abstract: On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the organized health care of the city of Subotica, the authors present the development as well as the present functions of the establishment for the care of little children, which exists for 100 years already and is undoubtedly meritorious for the people of this region, justifying it's existence since the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This establishment has gone through many stages and hardships always sharing the destiny of the people it served. Today, it is a contemporary social institution with an extended service for the care of handicapped children also, now situated in a specially constructed building, but nevertheless with a whole array of problems, primarily of a financial nature, which are otherwise present in the whole of our society. The authors predict the further development of the institution from the standpoint of an already proven social benefit, and further on as an establishment for the care of small children, but with polyvalentness and elastic programs which will be a demand of the 21st century and of the exceptional dynamics of future human relations.
