In some European countries nurseries were established even in munitions(军火)plants, under direct government sponsorship.【C3】______the number of nurseries in the U. S. also rose sharply, this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World War,【C4】______, Federal, state, and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of control【C5】______the day nurseries, chiefly by licensing them and by inspecting and regulating the conditions within the nurseries.
    The outbreak of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were【C6】______called upon to replace men in the factories. On this【C7】______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【C9】______cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later abolished them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that most employed mothers would leave their【C10】______at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled. [br] 【C9】
