COOPERATION GAINING
IN JUVENILE REPORTS
Lack of Uniformity in Reporting
Gases Being Corrected,
Bureau Holds.

Lack of uniformity in reporting
trends in delinquency, dependency and
neglect is rapidly being corrected by
cooperation with the judicial institu-
tions of the States, the Children's
Bureau declared today. Already so
courts in 20 States are cooperating i'll
the plan for standardization of iuve-
nile court statistics laid down by the
bureau a. year ago. Washington is
one of the cities where such co-opera-
tion exists.
Changes in the juvenile delinquency
rate from year to year in the United
States and in different sections Of the
country would furnish valuable
index of social conditions and the
results Of child welfare activities, the
bureau believes. The bureau has found
a rapidly growing appreciation Of the
value of statistics rs a means of ana
lying problems and presenting re-
ports Of work accomplished and
greater recognition of the value to be
derived from uniformity in statistical
methods among those employed in the
same field of work.

To meeting of the walters yesterday
