U.S. Children's Bureau. 1918. Save 100,000 babies: Get a square deal for children. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 8 pp. (Bureau publication; no. 36; Children's year leaflet; no. 1)

Annotation: This monograph sets out the agenda prepared by the Children's Bureau for Children's Year April 6, 1918–April 6, 1919 (the second year of World War I). Noting that warring countries have learned that national security requires the protection of children, the program identifies five areas of work. These include: (1) public protection of mothers, infants, and young children with emphasis placed on public-health nursing and on a nation-wide weighing and measuring test of young children; (2) home care and income with an emphasis on enabling mothers to care for their own children at home with an income sufficient for family needs, instead of going out to help in earning their children's daily bread; 3) child labor and education with an emphasis on the continued enforcement of federal child-labor laws, even in war-time; (4) recreation, with an emphasis on maintaining and developing recreation opportunities for children and young people to avoid delinquency; and (5) children in need of special care, with an emphasis on community action to provide supervision and guidance for dependent children. A list of Children's Year materials produced by the Children's Bureau to support implementation of activities is provided. The monograph is a publication of the U.S. Department of Labor, Children's Bureau.
