Abstract
The output of 1928 was meager, notwithstanding only nine state legislatures and Congress held sessions. Social legislation in its comprehensive aspects includes subjects like labor legislation, which is treated in a separate article (q.v.), public health, also covered in a general article on "Public Health and Medicine" (q.v.), and many important administrative measures, which are treated in a special article on "Government" (q.v.). The topics briefly summarized with respect to significant legislative changes in 1928 are: public poor relief, including poor laws, public charities, dependent and defective children, child welfare, mothers' pensions, old age pensions; housing, city planning, and zoning; public health, public education, and recreation; humane legislation, including prevention of cruelty to animals, prevention of cruelty to children, juvenile delinquency, courts, and probation, treatment of prisoners, and prison labor.
