PRESIDENT URGES BETTER CARE
OF THE DEPENDENT CHILDREN

Washington, Feb. 15.-President
Roosevelt today sent TO congress a spe-
cia message recommending the legis-
lation requested by the recent confer
ence on the care Of dependent children.
He said in part:
this city. on my invitation, a conference
on the Care of Dependent Children. To
this conference there came from nearly
every state in the union men and women
actively engaged in the care of dependent
children, and they represented all the lead
ing religious bodies.
The subject considered is one OF high
Importance to the well-beingo of the nation.
The census bureau reported in 1904 that
there Were in %ooarphanages and children.s
There are probably $1,000 more the precise
number never having been ascertained) In
private homes, either on board or In adopt.
ed homes provided by the generosity OF
foster parents. In addition to these there
were 1900 children in institutions for
juvenile delinQuents.
Each of these children represents either
n potential addition to the productive ca
paclty and the enlightened citizenship of
the nation, or, if allowed to suffer from
neglect, q potential addition to the des-
tructive forces of the community. The
ranks of criminals and other enemies of
due proportion from children bereft of
their natural homes and left without suffi-
cient care.
The interests of the nation are involved
IN the welfare of this army OF children no
less than in our great material affairs.
notwithstanding a wide diversity of
views and methods represented in the con-
ference. and Notwithstanding the varying
legislative enactments and policies OF the
states from which the members came, the
conference. at the close of its sessions,
unanimously adopted a series of declara-
lions expressing the conclusions which
they had reached These constitute a wise,
constructive, and progressive program Of
child-caring work. If given full effect by
the proper agencies existing methods and
practices in almost every community
would be profoundly and advantageously
modified.
More significant even than the contents
OF the declarations is the fact that they
were adopted without dissenting vote and
with every demonstration of hearty APP
prevail on the part Of all present. They
constitute a standard of accepted opinion
by which each community should measure
the adequacy of it's existing methods and
to which each community should seek to
conform its legislation and Its practice.
The keynote of the conference was ex-
pressed in these words:
Home life is the highest and finest pro-
duct of civilization. Children should not
be deprived OF it except for urgent and
compelling reasons"
Surely poverty alone should not disrupt
theh home. Parents of good character suf-
fering from temporary misfortune, and
above all deserving mothers fairly we'll
able to work but deprived of the support
of he normal breadwinner, should be
given such aid as may be necessary to en-

able them to maintain suitable homes for
the rearing of their children. The widowed
willing to work and to do her best. should
ordinarily be helped in such. fashion as
will enable her to bring up her children
herself in their natural home. Children
from unfit homes. and children who have
no homes. who must be cared for by char
table agencies, should. so far as practlc-
able, be cared for in families.
l transmit herewith for your Information
a copy of the conclusions reached by the
conference. of which the following is a
i. Home C~are-Children of worthy par
ents or deserving mothers should, as a
rule. be kept with their parents at home.
2. Preventive Work-The effort should
be made to eradicate causes of depend.
ency. such as disease and accident. and to
substitute compensation and Insurance FOR
relief.
,. Home Finding-Homeless and neglect
ed children, If normal. should be cared for
in families, when practicable.
4. Cottage Observation-Disclosures should
be on the cottage plan with small units,
as far as possible.
S. Observation-Disclosures caring for
dependent children should be Incorporated,
on approval of a suitable state board.
6. State Inspection-The state should in
spect the work of all agencies which care
for dependent children.
Z. Inspection of Educational Work-Edu-
cational work of institutions and agencies
caring for dependent children should be
supervised ny Slate euucbl1oilti duliloIl-
ties.
8. Facts and Records-Complete histor-
les OF dependent children and their par
ents, based upon personal Investigation
and supervision, should be recorded for
guidance of child-caring agencies.
9. Physical Care-ENery needy child
should receive the best medical and sur
gical attention., and be instructed in
health and hygiene.
10. Cooperation = Local child-caring
agencies should cooperate and establish
joint bureaus Of information.
II. Undesirable MISUNDERSTANDING
legislation against transfer of dependent
children between states should be re-
pealed.
12.-Permanent Organization-A perma-
nent organization for work along the lines
Of these resolutions is desirable.
13. Federal Children's Bureau-Estab-
lishment of a federal children's bureau is
desirable, and enactment of pending bill
Is earnestly recommended.
IA. Suggest special message to congress
favoring federal children's bureau and
other legislation applying above principles
to District of Columbia and other federal
territory.
1t is not only discreditable to US as a
people that there is now no recognized
and authoritative source of Information
upon these subjects relating to child life,
but in the absence of such information as
should be supplied by the federal govern
ment many abuses have gone unchecked:
for public sentiment with it's great cor
receive power. can only be aroused By full
knowledge of the facts.
