In addition, therefore, to the list of books and articles cited or
referred to in the text, the following special sources of information
concerning current activities and the discussion of immediate social
problems are given as aids to class study or to individual reading:
1. The Reports and Bulletins issued by the Federal Departments;
especially the Children's Bureau, Bureau of Education,
Vocational Education Board, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D.C.
2. Reports from State Departments in the fields of Labor,
Education, Charity, Correction, Employment Agencies, and
Health.
3. Reports of the National Conference of Social Work (formerly
called the National Conference of Charities and Correction),
Office, 315 Plymouth Court, Chicago, Illinois. These Reports
constitute the best record of social movements we possess.
Since 1873 the attempt has been made each year to take account
of social stock and show what is being done for all classes
needing help toward better living. Alexander Johnson prepared
a Topical Index which serves to guide the student through the
earlier volumes, and there are now arrangements for securing
separate papers on particular subjects.
4. The Russell Sage Foundation, office, 130 East Twenty-second
Street, New York City, aims at the improvement of living
conditions and issues valuable publications which are
generously distributed. Enquiries are answered in a helpful
manner.
5. The American Social Hygiene Association, Office, 370 Seventh
Avenue, New York City, offers aid to all who seek to check
vice, sustain family life, and lessen diseases related to
prostitution. It publishes both a Quarterly and a Bulletin and
shares in a special library open to students.
6. The National Committee for Mental Hygiene at the same Office
Headquarters, publishes a valuable Quarterly and is a source
of information respecting the treatment and prevention of
mental diseases.
7. The American Association for Organizing Family Social Work,
Mrs. John M. Glenn, Chairman, with Office at 130 East
Twenty-second Street, is able to advise in relief work and
organized efforts toward family rehabilitation.
8. The Child Welfare League of America, C.C. Carstens, Director,
at the same Headquarters, 130 East Twenty-second Street, New
York City, can be consulted as to standards of child-care and
the status of child-helping in various parts of the country.
