WELFARE AND THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU

PHILIP S. BARBA M.D.

IN THE fifty-first year of its existence, the Children's Bureau moves to a new administrative home. A completely new home in the sense that it is a new administrative house in the geography of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Initially, the Bureau was in the Department of Commerce and a year later in the Department of Labor, where the Bureau Chief reported directly to the Secretary. From 1946 until now, the Bureau was located in the Social Security Administration of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Chief reported to the Commissioner of the Agency. In the new Welfare Agency the Chief of the Children's Bureau will officially report to the Welfare Commissioner, who in turn will report to the Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
