The U.S. Children's Bureau and Infant Mortality in the Progressive Era.

Lindenmeyer, Kriste

Journal of Education, v177 n3 p57-69 1995

The studies and policies of the U.S. Children's Bureau in the era of Progressive education benefited many children, but its emphasis on the middle-class family ideals and relative disinterest in poverty issues left a legacy with policy implications in today's climate of welfare reform. (SLD)
