Mapam: There is transmitted herewith the Children’s Bureau bulletin on the care of the preschool child, first published in 1918 under the title Child Care—The Preschool Age, and in 1931 entirely rewritten and issued as The Child from One to Six; his care and training. Since then it has had no general revision, although changes have been made from time to time. The revision of 1931 was the work of Dr. Marjorie F.

Eliot, director of the child-hygiene division of the Children’s Bureau; and of the bureau’s advisory committee of pediatricians: Dr. Howard Childs Carpenter, repre- senting the American Child Health Association; Dr. Julius H. Hess, the section of diseases of children of the American Medical Associa- tion; and Dr. Richard M. Smith, the American Pediatric Society. Valuable suggestions on the manuscript were also received from Dr. D. A. Thom, director, division of mental hygiene, Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases; Dr. E. V. McCollum, professor of biochemistry, School of Hygiene and Public Health, Johns Hopkins University; and Dr. George H. Bigelow, Commissioner of Health of Massachusetts and chairman Committee IJ-B—Communicable Disease Control, White House Conference on Child Health and Pro- tection. The communicable-disease section was also reviewed by the United States Public Health Service. Respectfully submitted. Katuarine F. Lenroot, Chief. Hon. Frances PERKINS, Secretary of Labor.
