Here are two publications exemplifying the breadth of interest and the enterprise of the Children's Bureau. From an agency known to most pediatricians as the source of such general and inclusive "child care" manuals as Infant Care and Your Child From One to Six, these specialized items may seem surprising. They are, however, characteristic of an organization which has always been alert for ways of promoting the health of children in the broadest sense, which includes the "new disease" of the relatively few as well as the standard problems of the very many.

IN THE fifty-first year of its existence, the Children's Bureau moves to a new administrative home. A completely new home in the sense that it is a new administrative house in the geography of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Initially, the Bureau was in the Department of Commerce and a year later in the Department of Labor, where the Bureau Chief reported directly to the Secretary. From 1946 until now, the Bureau was located in the Social Security Administration of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Chief reported to the Commissioner of the Agency. In the new Welfare Agency the Chief of the Children's Bureau will officially report to the Welfare Commissioner, who in turn will report to the Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

To read, inside the cover of this small handbook, the list of other Children's Bureau publications on handicapped children, creates a depressing sense of the burdens afflicting so many children and parents. Although one may begin reading these 20 pages on the mongoloid baby with sadness for the thousands of unknown mothers and fathers who must have read them, one continues with increasing admiration for the anonymous author's relatively unemotional and wise presentation of so much information.

This small journal in its bright but dignified cover, and its ninth year, offers a refreshing contrast to much of the inexpensive reading matter that brings information about children to the pediatrician's desk and waiting room. It has no advertising. It is neat, attractive, and brief. It wastes no time in being chatty. It tells a good deal about pediatric practice, but it also covers many areas peripheral to ours, about which we cannot afford to be ignorant.
