Elsewhere in this issue of Pediatrics the problem of the physically abused child is considered in papers and in a Commentary. This small pamphlet, a joint meeting at the Annual Forum of the National Conference of Social Welfare, held in New York, May 31, 1962, is a useful source of well-considered information for those who wish a further reference. The authors: an executive of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, a pediatric neurologist, a psychiatrist, and a counsel of the Boston Legal Aid Society, know what they are writing about and present what they know with useful simplicity and brevity.

"Illegitimacy: Changing Services for Changing Times" is a collection of seven probing papers presented at the 1969 National Conference of Social Welfare. The foreword by Rose Mary Hill, Vice Chairman of the National Council, is an excellent review of "certain common threads that run through them, different though the papers may be in subject, content, and emphasis. Most striking perhaps is the willingness, indeed the determination on the part of a number of the authors, to examine and demolish some of the stereotypes that too long have dominated popular and even on occasion, professional attitudes toward illegitimacy."
