    In the United States, the first day nursery, was opened in 1854. Nurseries were established in various areas during the【C1】________ half of the 19th century; most of them were charitable. Both in Europe and in the U.S., the day nursery movement received great impetus during the First World War, when【C2】________ of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented numbers of women. In some European countries nurseries were established even in munitions plants, under 【C3】________ government sponsorship. Although the number of nurseries in the U.S. also rose【C4】________. this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World War, however, federal State and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of control over the day nurseries, chiefly by【C5】________ them and by inspecting and regulating the conditions within the nurseries.
    The【C6】________ of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were【C7】________ called up on to replace men in the factories. On this occasion the U.S. government immediately came to the support of the nursery schools, allocating $6,000,000 in July, 1942, for a nursery school program for the children of working mothers.

Soon afterward, the Federal government drastically cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later abolished them, causing a sharp【C9】________ in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the【C10】________ that most employed mothers would leave their jobs at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled.
