 The Alabama Childhood will be quarterly publication in the future, will be issued by the authority of the child welfare commission, and will be distributed among the social workers and among all persons who feel enough interest in child welfare to desire current information on the progress of the work.
 First Ten Months
 The first 10 months work s told in the beginning of the bulletin, much of the report being taken from the annual report of Mrs L. B. Bush. di- rector of the department. which was submitted to the commission late in 1920. One of the most interesting facts mentioned in this report is that the federal government has recog- nized the effectiveness of the organ ization In Alabama and has issued a certificate making employment cer- tificates issued by the department of full force and effect in the enforce ment of the child labor tax law of the national government. In other words. certificate issued in Ala bama by the child labor division Of the child welfare department will be accepted at it's full value by the fed eral government This honor was act period of six months. It was renewed at the end of the six months and has again been renewed.
 Facing Tasks
 One of the tasks facing the depart ment now Is the proper organization of the counties. the realization being that effective work for the children cannot be done until local agencies are in personal touch with the situa- ton in each county. The bulletin, quoting the annual report of Mrs. Bush, said this work had been him dered because of the lack of trained officers for the county work and the lack of finances of the counties. How ever, the opinion was expressed that many good results will be shown in this part df the work before the end of the second year. Only three coun tleSs JelI6ISoH, NlODilo anu NlOhtS cry, now have special juvenile courts. Etowah, Covington and Colbert have been organized with all-time proba- ton officers. Calhoun has a part time probation officer. while Tusca- loosa, Madison, Lauderdale and Dal- las have volunteer probation officers.
 The department believes the fol- lowing counties will have been or ganized before the end of this year: Madison, Lauderdale, Clay, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Calhoun, Talladega, Dal-
