PUBLICATIONS OF THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU

Editors: Myron E. Wegman, M.D..

PUBLICATION of a new 13-page folder, The Child With Rheumatic Fever, issued by the Children's Bureau, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, marks the sixth of a series which many practitioners have found helpful. Each folder in the series—addressed to parents—is about some disease or condition that cripples or may cripple children.

The Child With Rheumatic Fever aims to give parents some understanding of such matters as: what the disease is, why certain diagnostic procedures and bong-time care are needed, changes in behavior they may observe, how to help the child through convalescence and return to normal activity, and the reasons why prophylactic measures are important. The earlier folders on physically handicapped children deal with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, hearing loss, cleft palate and blindness.

Two other recent publications of the Bureau, beamed to pediatricians and other professional groups who work with children, are about unprotected adoptions and juvenile delinquents. Health Services and Juvenile Delinquency is a report of a conference called by the Bureau and attended by 75 leaders in the medical and health professions. Representatives of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Public Health Association, state health departments, medical and nursing schools, and other health agencies participated.
