Brown, chairman of this committee, who intro- duced Miss Lathrop. Mrs. Brown re- called to our minds Miss ILathrop's many public services, the most {far reaching of which, was perhaps, that of being chief of the Children's bureau of the United States Department of Labor. Miss Lathrop's topic was "A New World Issue," that issue being child welfare. Miss Lathrop took as the basis for her talk the fact that the great increase in scientific inventions have influenced greatly the position of the child and that now the question of welfare no longer belongs to the family alone, but must be a government issue. Miss Lathrop traced picturesquely by historical anccdote the change from hand labor to machine; from the spin- ning done by little children and women in order to clothe mankind, to the introduction of the first machine in 1789, down to our present machine age, stressing the accompanying change made in the position of the child. As evidence of the recognition of the importance of the child and of gov- a good home, to enough schooling to give him a fair chance, and to sufficient recreation. How to secure these for the child was another question. It soon becomes evident that lack of in- come or accident may prevent a family from giving a child these rights, there- fore it becomes a governmental issue. "The best Child Welfare law yet passed," said Miss Lathrop, "is the Compulsory School law, for after all child education is the foundation rock of child welfare." After stressing the fact that "It is no longer possible to think of your own child alone; that family, nation and world are related," Miss Lathrop closed her talk -with two challenging statements: (1) "The great practical question today," said Miss Lathrop, "is what sort of people are we asking to administer these matters in regard to welfare ;"; (2) "The greatest and near- est question for women's organizations to consider is how to make such offices attractive to our ablest citizens." Following the address, the large au- dience adjourned for tea to the recep- tion rooms where the Vocational So- ciety of Shut-Ins had an exhibition, and for sale many attractive and in- teresting articles made by the Shut-Ins.
