THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU
 AND BABY WEEK
Julia c. Lathrop, Chief, Children's
 Bureau,

Julia C. Lathrop, Chief, Children's
 Bureau.
 "Is Baby Week the business of a Government Buearu?" The observing taxpayer is perhaps asking this ques- tion.
 Ever since last October when the General Federation of Women's Clubs announced its plan, an increasing pro- portion of the Bureaus office force has been detailed to the correspond ence required by the growing interest in the nationwide observance of Baby Week.
 The sociologist and the statistician will remind us that the Bureau was created to make investigations pre- taining to the welfare of children and that Baby Week is not an investiga- tion and is not statistics.
 To all these groups we are account able. What is our reply?
 For the three years the Bureau has been in existence it has put con siderable share of its energy into a statistical study of the social and economic causes of infant mortality, planned with the greatest care and conducted by trained field agents with all possible precision. The results of this inquiry are being published, as the law requires, in a series of re- ports which consist of statistical tab ulations accompanied by descriptive text.
 There are many million fathers and mothers in the United States, includ- ing many of the best educated fathers and mothers, who have never read a

Offered Mediation.
Just as soon as IT became evident
that mediation under the existing law
had failed and that arbitration had
been rendered impossible by the atti-
tude OF the man, | considered it my
duty to confer with representatives Of
both the railroads and brotherhoods,
and myself offer mediation. not as an
arbiter, but merely as spokesman Of
the nation, in the interest OF Justice, in
deed, and as friend OF both parties,
but not as a Judge, only as the repre-
sentative OF one hundred millions Of
men, women and children who would
pay the pric-, the incalculable price
OF loss and suffering, should these few

the whole spirit OF the time and the
prcponderant evidence OF recewi econ

q thing upon which society is justified
in insisting as in the interest Of health,

the county had surplus OF between
