Abstract
THE following report, submitted by Dr. Clarence H. Webb, official liaison representative from the Academy to the Children's Bureau, summarizes the highlights of the meeting of the Advisory Committee on Maternal and Child Health and Crippled Children's Services at The Children's Bureau, January 30 and 31, 1950. This general advisory committee, constituted in 1948, meets once or twice annually to advise with the Maternal and Child Health and Crippled Children's Services concerning the policies and programs of these divisions of the Children's Bureau. It is to be distinguished from smaller technical committees which study and give advice on specific technical problems. Academy members in attendance at the meeting were: Harry H. Gordon, Chairman of the Advisory Committee, Allan M. Butler, John P. Hubbard, Thomas F. Shaffer, Clarence H. Webb, James L. Wilson, Leona Baumgartner, Associate Chief of the Children's Bureau, and Katherine Bain, Director of Division of Research in Child Development. Dr. Edwin F. Daily reviewed important developments since the last committee meeting. Attention was directed to the Annual Report of the Children's Bureau in the December issue of The Child, wherein significant increases in child population and changes in maternal and infant mortality rates are reviewed. Cooperative planning and action between the Children's Bureau and voluntary agencies has been fruitful.
