After a brief introduction of the
Washington, Special. Legislation
' which, it is believed if enacted into
law, will make an important epoch
in tne luture well-being of the de
pendent children of the nation, is rec
; 'ommended in a special message by
President Roosevelt sent to Congress
Monday in which he makes a strong
plea in the interest of children com-
ing within this class. ; , 4 ', . - s -Of
particular importance is the
President's recommendation for the
stabiishment of- a Federal children's
bureau; the enactment of such legis
lation as will bring the laws and prac
tices in regard to the care of dependent-children
in all Federal territory
into harmony and certain legislation
in behalf of dependent children In the
District of Columbia. The President
believes that such legislation is im
portant not only for the welfare of
the children immediately concerned,
f but important "as setting an example
of a high standard of child protection
. by the national government to the
several States of the Union, which
should be able to look to the nation
for leadership in such, matters."
. The President also transmits with
; his message to Congress a copv of the
conclusions, together with the full
text of the proceedings of the recent
conferences here on the care of do
pendent children, in accordance with
the request of that organization. De
claring that , their conclusions "con
stitute a wise, cb?istructive and pro
gressive programme of child-caring
work," 'the President says that if
''given full effect by the proper agen
cies, existing methods and practices
in almost every community would be
profoundly and advantageously modi
fietf." .
The conclusions of the conference
above referred to are the following:
' 1. Home Care Children of worthy
parents or deserving mothers should,
aa rure, be kept with their parents
at home. '
2. Preventive Work. The effort
should be made to eradicate causes
of dependency, such as disease and
accident, and to substitute conpen
sation and insurance for relief. .
3. 1 Home Finding. Homeless and
jrrtrglcHeil children, if normal, should
?be cared for in families, when prac
ticable. ':
