Childrens Bureau to study all the needs
of children as well as the adverse con-

Jane Adams in the management of the
children's work connected with Hull
House in Chicago and who also for years
made study of the conditions of chill
dren in other countries and the various
means which are being established for
their welfare and protection.
The bureau opened it's headquarters in
Washington last month, but is not yet
fully organized, since the full staff pro-
vided for in the bill has not yet been
secured. This staff includes an assistant
chief, statistical expert a special agent
and several clerks. all of whom are ap-
pointed under the civil service regula-
tions and who are also specially qualified
for the specific work for which the bureau
has been created.
For several months the chief and her
assistants have been carefully working
out a plan for the first years work. First
a careful survey of the work which al
ready has been accomplished has been
made, in order that the new bureau may
not IN any way duplicate what is already
being done. In this connection Miss
Lathrop recognizes the valuable services
which are already being performed by the
bureau of education, the census bureau
and the Department of Commerce and
Labor, and much of the future work of
the new bureau Will be to put the in
formation which has already been ac-
quired in a popular form, most of it
is now too technical and detailed for the
